MIRRORS IN GLOVES.
A Mirror in the palm of the glove is the latest novelty. With its assistance its owner is enabled to be sure that her bonnet is on straight, and also that her curls are in perfect order. She can likewise ascertain if her bow is at the most becoming angle at the proper time. All these things and a hundred others, important from the feminine point of view, she can find out on the street, without attracting the attention of passers by, with the aid of this simple contrivance. The inventor of this device has so arranged the little looking-glass in the palm of the glove as not to interfere with tbe shutting of the hand. He has likewise taken the precaution of putting it in the left hand glove, so that when its owner shakes hands with a friend it will not be observed. It is not the fair sex alone that will find this ingenious contrivance useful. Men are quite as vain as women, so the latter claim, and will be seen by any observer to look at themselves in every mirror they pass on the streets.
