Hello All I have enjoyed the discussion of gloves very much. I remember wearing gloves. I loved them, but usually lost one about once a week. I wear gloves now when I do historical reenactments. I have dress gloves, half gloves, lace gloves, and regular gloves. I wear half gloves a lot to keep my hands warm, since I now have arthritis in my hands. My mother wore gloves and so did all my aunts and grandmother. My mother passed on two years ago. I found her glove box in which she had many pairs of gloves of all styles. She also had many handkerchiefs. The surprise that I found was not only that she could tat and crochet, which I had only seen her knit and crochet that went with knitting sweaters and the like. but, she also had some of my gloves. Just to think my hands were so very small, then. I love seeing the women on Andy wear gloves and carry hankies. It takes me back to a sweet time. Muffs - Mama and me both had muffs. I loved them because they kept your hands very warm. I have a muff now I wear on cold days with my wool cape, not just for reenactments either. But, can't say I have seen muffs on Andy.
