AUTUMN GLOVES

Gloves, to bo correct, must bo perfection in style, texture, workmanship and the suave softness of their colouring—the latter made imperative by the dictates of a season that Is stressing subtle harmonies in colour. Originality must not be crude, but sophisticated in its effect, and the small niceties of fit and finish must be carefully attended to. The newest gloves reveal some interesting fashion points, but permit of variety, whether it be a tailored or dress glove ybii are choosihg. For general wear you will find that some type of the washable'glove is satisfactory and there is a choice of leathers here—suede, mocha, glace kldckin, capeskin, chamois and doeskin. These are to be had in the slipover , style, known as Biarritz, In novelty cuff styles, and -in buttoned gloves. ■:> It will not be Fashion's fault If you choose unwisely, unless she is blamed for her prodigality. A single display of gloves the other day showed four score styles of the slipover; as many cuff . styles, numbers of them ‘ very tailored in their effect: and half a hundred clasp and button models. Add to this list the many colours and shades in which each style is to be had, with the varying use of colour for decoration, and you cannot doubt that there Is a variety. The new bright tones are Introduced cleverly into trimming motifs. Many of them would be hardly usable were the colours too generously used, but live tones', carefully applied to delicate tones, prove effective.. Some of the most beautiful and costly gloves show exquisite embroideries done in metal threads or beads against a, background of soft-toned kid. The, possibilities of a successful choice are many—but It is well to bear in mind that the possibilities of an unsuccessful choice are just as .many. '
