Though they come in the most radiant of colors and the lushest of fabrics, range in length from wrist-short to shoulder-high and in price from $1 (nylon) to $145 (mink-cuffed French glace kid), the richest selection is scarcely splendid enough to make up for the bother. For one thing, women determined to look smart but who feel ill at ease with their hands encased will strip their gloves off at the earliest opportunity and spend the rest of the party looking for a ledge to lodge the gloves on; they generally end up wadding...
