Household.
We would warn our readers, observes the American Queen, against the prevailing habit of wearing their suede or gauntlet gloves over the sleeves of their dresses. It is not the fashion except among vulgar and ignorant persons, and is regarded among the best classes as a mark of extreme bad form. Pew things, indeed, look uglier, for the termination of the sleeve-cuff almost invariably shows through the light kid of which the gloves now the fashion are mostly made ; but no matter how skilfully arranged, it is a sign of defective taste and breeding to draw the gloves on outside the sleeves of the dress. Well-bred people now regard such a proceeding in the same light as wearing rings on the outside of gloves, and surely nothing on earth can be more, execrable than such a habit as this.
