Whether you're buying shoes or ships or sealing wax-you guide yourself by manufacturers' brand names, widely advertised, comfortably familiar, trustworthy. Brand names let you know ahead of time the quality you are going to buy-and how much you will get for your money. You're lucky. You'll find many of America's finest brands advertised right in this newspaper.

For sleeves crimped above Wrist, choose a longer length, any where up to a 12-button glove in soft doeskin or kid. Suits and tailored ensembles take wrist length gloves. However, a two or four-button length is equally correct. For the cock tail hour, wear a 12 or 16 button soft leather glove. If the occasion is really formal, your choice should always be the most elegant of gloves -the 20-button leather glove in white or neutral.
