can never succeed in chilling the
warmth that the exercise imparts. No
wonder the girl dons her pretty skating
costume every clear afternoon.
The skating garment has not followed
in the footsteps of our afternoon and
evening gowns. No empire nor 1880
style is seen here. We cling to the Rus
sian blouse, for it is comfortable and
graceful for the ice. The more fur we
can get on the gown the more fitting
will 1T appear. a wonderful ice dress
just completed is made all of black as
trallhan, with long Russian blouse
The edge of the skirt and the edge of
the blouse have 4 border of gray krim-
mer which border also runs up the side
of the blouse, fastening at the left. The
sleeves are Of black velvet, ornamented
with two bracelets" of llrmmcr, and
of course the neck has border like

pretty skating rig
Here's another, for younger girl:
Red cloth, made in the form of n Rus
sian blouse also. There are three mar
row rows of black astrallhan on the
skirt, but none on the waist except
bands on the cuffs, and collar. A
short cape falls over the shoulders, with
three rows of stitching, after the fash
Ion of these latter days. So many edges
on Paris gowns are now simply
stitched.
know you must be tired of reading
about these cXtravagant gowns we are
wearing this season. Nothing is a bit
practicable and almost evcl ything SO
startling that one doesn't quite like to
wear it. So have been on search for
plain, modest and yet fashionable gar
ments. They were not easy to find,
and yet, now that I have them firmly
fixed in my memory, find no little
pleasure in telling you of them.
We shall commence with wraps,
cloalSs, mantles, etc., with your kind
permission. First, see standing be-

fascinating, and which shows, too, the
scarlet satin lining beneath.

1T would be severe if it were not made
of such pretty rcd cloth. Ovcra skirt
of red cloth, bordcred with black vel

full over the shoulders, and standing
sufficiently apart in front to show a
