With cooler days and darker clothes more attention should be paid to the gloves for each cos- tume. The best selection we have seen thus far is at Lane Crawford's Salon. The evening gloves, which are very reasonable in price, are in a large group of colours made in silks and lace. You can alwayɛ cut the fingers off at the knuckle to make mittens for yourselves. Of course, they have "above the elbow" length white kids, and also short kids and, doe" skin, perfectly plain or with perforations.

The fabric gloves are having a large sale this year; we find this must be due to the lovely blending colours and the various stitching used in the make-up of the gloves, Many of them have contrasting outline stitching about the fingers and cuffs. Others have trick zippers down the back, and the cuffs on many are new and dif-) ferent.

The suede and kid gloves are of very fine quality and in the new colours
