_Wearing Gloves in Presence of Royalty_ (Vol. i., p. 366.; Vol. ii., pp.
165. 467.).--Hull, in his _History of the Glove Trade_, says that
Charles IV., King of Spain, was so much under the influence of any lady
who wore white kid gloves, that the use of them at Court was strictly
prohibited. He refers the reader to the _Mémoires de la Duchesse
d'Abrantès_, tome viii. p. 35.
