In reality 'tis a glove of lace made necessary
by tho widespread popularity of tho elbow

from tho upper arm covering, takes the
wrist and forearm snugly, fits up under tho

H(iiaro-nccked bathing gown In safety, and
usually her water toilet Is of cream white

their number has Increased to several
hundreds. Recent patents by women have
mostly related to articles of furniture, type
writers, sewing machines, children's play
things, games, musical Instruments, house

implements. The best-paying patents arc
those for household filters and children's
playthings and puzzles. Ono woman, how
