For Women Who Go Autoing.

An embroidered cover for the pneu-
matte cushion which your friend puts
beneath her feet when motoring would
make an acceptable gift. Select some
heavy material, like denim, and put
on it an appropriate design worked
in a coarse but effective stitch.
A great many women are prejudiced
against the rubber lined coat, but it
has it's place and often prevents a
drenching. The really nice ones are
soft and p1iable and can be folded al
most as closely as those that have no
rubber in them. The outside is silk
and has the same nice appearance as
the all-siIk garment, and the inner
side is perhaps soft gray plaid.
Very handsome are the silk vests
all embroidered ready to adjust to the
coat Of your swell auto costume, white
with o1d-blue and gold embroidery,
and tan with black and gold being two
of the rrettiest combinations.
The straw covered smelling bottles
are quite the thing to carry on an au-
tomobile picnic party, for some one is
always liable to be taken i'll without
warning or at least to have an un-
solicited headache.
A clover leaf needle book for the
auto tourist is a dainty and convenient
triae. Green art linen is used, the
petals being four inches wide. This is
lined with white silk and bound with
white ribbon, and the flannel leaves:
inside are fitted out with needles and
pins OF every description, and the whole
tied together with narrow ribbon.
The leather leggins for automobil-
ing are serviceable as well as hand
some, for the tramp through the wood
or meadow is often pleasurable part
of the short auto trip.
Motor" describes several boots for
motoring wear that are being made
for social leader in New York. One
is in the softest Of bronze kid and lined
throughout with beaver, the length
coming we'll nigh to the knee. Another
set is in pale-gray ooze calf, to match
a. coat-and-skirt suit of the same ma
terial. These are lined with white
rabbit fur flecked here and there with
tiny black tails to simulate an ermine
lining, which extends right down to
the toes. The boots are assuredly a
triumph Of the bootmaker's skill, for,
in spite of the furry lining, they do not
seem single size larger than one
would ordinarily wear for walking pur.
poses.
Plaids are worn considerably. Ono
of the stunning warm" coats is Of
what is called an English blanket
cloth. The cuffs, which with the col
lar are of plain material, button close
to the wrist, the front is double breast
ed, there are generous pockets, and It
one likes plaids, she could get lots OF
comfort out Of such coat at this sea-
son on her trips out into the country,
which require warm clothing for the
air is yet chilly. +
The hat pin topped with mercury
wings is considered appropriate for
fastening ones hat when motoring.
Of course there are other designs, too,
and she who wants to be smartly dress
ed will look after these little details.
Every woman who motors must give
special care to her face if she would
not have a coarse skin after the long
season of outdoor driving. The very
best cream and astringent is none too
good, and if she does not know how to
give herself a good massage, or does
not care to, she will do well to make
practice Of visiting facial mas
seuse regularly and often.
The hood and scarf is a new model
and an impressive one even if it does
not appear so. The band extends
around the forehead and fastens with
ball and socket snaps in the back. The
hood protects the top and back Of the
head and ties under the chin, scarf
fashion.
The electrically-lighted road map is
one of the conveniences for those who
have to travel nights.
With the green coat is worn green
veil, indeed it is quite the vogue to
have your veil and coat match in color.
