SUMNER UNIFORMS.
Perhaps the most interesting question Of
all which has been suggested in some other
Of the winter clubs, was not decided by the
club owing to the small attendance, and
this is the question Of unIforming during
the summer months This seems to be an
original idea with some members of the
Windsor club, who are ardently IN favor Of
the plan. The scheme. as proposed, is to
procure blanket suits OF light weight in the
club cOlors, made suitable for sum-
mer wear" said an enthusiast
''the gentlemen to wear knickerbOckers and
silk stockings. These uniforms, which
would possess the combined merits Of being
handsome and comfortable, would be worn
by the members in the participation of
summer sports, such as boating. picnick-
ing, riding, lawn parties, excursions. fish,
ing, camping out, or even hops, and the
many other pleasures to be enjoyed by q
party Of ladies and gentlemen during those
months OF the year when tObOgganing is
out of the question and ice is a luxury in
stead of bore. And why not wear uni
forms in summer As we'll as in winter? The
experience Of the carnival has taught that
knickerbOckers are comfortable and that the
ladies look unusually sweet in their uni
forms. II the ladies look so fresh IN win
ter when on the inside Of blanket suit and
a tOque. why should they not be too be-
witehing in a loose, cool. comfortable
club suit with dainty cap to match? Then
what bonanza TO the pOcketbOOk would
these costumes be If they would only be-
come fashionable. The gentlemen would
have to buy no more clawhammers, and
the costly silks. satins and real lace would
give place 10 simple elegance in plain wool
comfortably cut. The very idea OF party
of ladies and gentlemen wearing uniforms
while at a summer hotel, boating or lawn
party is Itself conducive To sOciability. IL
carries with il a gay abandon, increased en-
thusiasm, pleasing vivacity and freedom
from those stiff fOrmalities, the removal of
which is always acceptable TO those seeking
real enjoyment. There is no doubt that
should this idea OF wearing summer uni
ferns be adopted by one club il would
speedily be followed up by others, and the
streets Of the city would present an appear
ance not only refreshing but the mere
thought of which is suggestive of the ice
palace good thing to think of On the
