in the outfit OF every woman who enjoys
the outdoor winter. but for snowshOelng

But to 60 back to the blanI,st coats.
They are thick. soft. warm, light and loose
and may be washed. though it 10 wiser TO
have them cleaned. Some have the ap-
pearance OF having been made from gen
uine blankets OF the finest quality. while
others suggest the reversible steamer
rug. heavier than blankets but as
ieecy and soft. These last are often OF
reversible cloth, the plaid side being
used for the inner side and showing only

color and delightful color combinations
are obtained in this way.
Detachable leather Innings running
down only to the waist lining are often
introduced into blanket COATS and other
rough. heavy coats OF English make and
are an excellent provision for very cold
weather. Separate leather waistcoats,
flannel lined, answer the same purpose and
are shown by all the purveyors Of sporting
goods. though a woman often has to have

Possibly the motor cars had brought them
out as lavishly, but IL so they had gone
by so fast that there was no chance TO see
and admire them.

and fortunately is universally becoming.
At least 50 per cent. OF the wen dressed

Seal hoods are provided for motoring and
sleighing and are offered in many becom-
