To discover the origin of the glove we must go far back into Eastern history. In the far-off days when Ruth gleaned in the fields ;of Boaz, -the term "shoes" was -used`-for the hand covering. We have this title still pre- served in the German language. There is mod authority for saying than the "shoe" mentioned in the fourth chapter - of Ruth was ,a glove, All nations ;Hake gloves, although the French and Germans probably lead, and the materials are wonder-, fully diverse. Kid -skin furinshes the greatestuantity although ,much of the so-called kid is rat or catskin. Dogskin, r buckskin and doeskin gloves are made from sheepskin, and when they are very thick and heavy you may be assured' that the material is ,calfskin. Castor -loves should be made of beaver; bet :43.a rule, they are sheep- skin. By the way, it may not be gen- erally known that"chamois" skin is sheepskin. There are not enough chatn.ois tilled in et year to supply the world for day. Suede (or Swedish) gloves are made of lambskin, finely dressed by not glazed. ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN.
