It had not occurred to me that all hands are not the same size, and a fashionable handkerchief could easily have been slipped inside the gloves! Once again I tried, cutting the pattern in common cloth, and basting and trying on, again and again, then carefully, ripping and cutting a paper pattern, I took the top of some black silk hose and was fully rewarded for my preseverance.
