Skating Costumes.

The weather this winter Is, so far, much
milder than last season, stlll there Is quite q
rage for pretty skating costumes, and many
very striking ones are in preparation.
OF course they are all short and in the high
colors and brilliant Scotch plaids, which are
so fashionable, and very pictur' lue, seen
en- massee.
One Of the prettiest we have seen was made
In scarlet merino, trimmed with narrow bands
OF gray, astracan. Little toquet and m II OF the
astraean only, with a small scarlet breast in
the toquet.
Another was of garnet cloth, trimmed with
bands OF black velvet, a large black velvet bow
with short ends looping up the cape al the
back.
A third was dark blue cloth. trimmed with
narrow bands of black feather trimming, and
black rosettes. And a fourth, genuine Tar
tan, the Mcpherson, green, red, and black,
looped up at the sides and upon the back Of the
cape. with round bows of black velvet with
several narrow flowing ends.
These Scottish costumes are very CAV and
stylish when becomingly made, but for skat-
the complete cloth costumes trimmed with
narrow bands of fur. Undoubtedly much OF
their beauty lies in their adaptation, but they
are also very coquettish when the finishing OF
fur is added TO the tops Of the dainty little
boots, and a small fur .'chatelaine," held At the
side with narrow fur band, holds the en-
broidersd handkerchief.
With skating dresses no hooped skirts are
worn, in fact, crinoline SO far As the skeleton
worn, may be said TO have been abandoned by
women of any pretensions to fashion. Street
costumes are worn entirely without hoops, an q
even trained dresses are supported by c-iuo-
line so restricted in its dimensions TO sa-7n TO
be destitute of il also.-FdShioH COrres. O.lient
