A HINT FOR COLD WEATHER
A Few suggestions I'm Regard d
Winter Clothing.

'Now that cold weather Is beginning"
Harper's Bazaar says, ''it is well to re-
member that If the wrists and the ankles
are warm, the rest Of the body is not likely
to suffer. Worsted wristlets have gone
out Of fashion, but the muff and the long
sleeved coat serve quite as good a purpose
Few things, however, have been found to
take the place Of leggings, which, II they
are of worsted, are apt to be awkward
and If they are buttoned are sure to tear
Che skirts. The long-knitted tights were
found trouble to put on when one was
in hurry to go out. Yet to have some.
thing which can be easily slipped on and
of has become necessity. Women in the
overheated houses Of the present day have
discovered that it Is impossible to dress,
- their grandmothers did, in warm, un-
wieldy fiannels, or even in the same warm
clothes in which they must dress for the
streets. They claim, too, that Il one
dresses in light clothes for the house and
in something warmer for the street the
dangers Of taking cold are minimized.
The Ingenious young woman Of the present
day buys golf stockings without feet and
the5e she slips on over her cotton stock.
ings when she goes out Of doors They
are snug enough not TO slip and slide, and
having no hooks or catchable places about
them, answer purpose in cold weather
which nothing else has done"
