It occurred to him to line a palr.ot o-loves with very thin oil silk, ot tyWcn fine dress shields are made. He tried lining the inside of the palm andJngers and found that he had a glove which perspiration' could not penetrate. His ciistomers are enthusiastic .over his discovery. They say he is a true philanthropist, or, what is better, a genuine humanitarian, or else he would never have jiven them the benefit of a discovery which is bound to be detrimental to his sales. The manufacturer's discpvery will be welcomed by a large number of women of both large and small incomes who have been unable to keep well gloved because of the annoying affliction mentioned.
