The High Standard of Strawbridge
Emphasized as Christmas
New Purchase
"
Christmas Owes
In olden days, the king used te give his gloves as a pledge
when he was making a grant of land te some bold and deserving
knight. The jeweled glove was the insignia of his rank, and witn
it he bestowed his friendship.
Then later, when Queen Elizabeth herself introduced the style
of wearing long and lovely gloves for ornament, wily lords made
gifts of gloves te win her favor. It was a Viee-Chanceller who
once presented te his merry queen "a pair of gloves, perfumed
and garnished with embroidery and goldsmith's weurke.' It worf werf
him, they say, mere lasting favor than Raleigh's spreading of a
certain famous cape beneath her feet.
There's genuine sentiment back of the gift of Gloves.
And the gloves that will find favor are assuredly in the wide
assortment gathered here.
