gift is an inspiration In that story
Is a lesson that we may all take to
heart. The perfect gift is something
that takes one out Of oneself, away
from the ruts of life.
In the output Of the season
furs and Jewels naturally stand
first upon the list. This is
fur season, one can never go
amiss with a present Of fur. Jewels
have a perpetual opportunity. They
are at the disI osal Of anyone whose
purse will respond TO the demand.
II is in the smaller and less costly
things that are to be found unusual
opportunities. This is to be a skating
season. The winter will see skating
parties without number. What girl
would fail to be made happy by the
receipt OF one Of the new skating caps.
or perhaps a skating coat and cap.
Exceedingly smart and exclusive ones
are made OF Jersey Cheviot, loose and
ample With great big hanging pockets
that will carry the skates to destlna-
ton and keep the hands warm while
the fun is in progress. They are ac-
companied by skating caps with long
peaks OF very exclusive fur plush
combined with a trimming Of cloth,
that is to say, the coat Of mixed shades
of green shows collar and cuffs Of a
vivid green broadcloth with trimming
of dark brown fur plush. The cap has
a band Of the plush with a peak Of
vivid green broadcloth finished with
tassel and edged with a bit Of gold,
a picturesque note. Caps with scaris
attached are made Of velvet in vivid
red with black fur bands and black
tassels completing them. There are
skating caps and skating scarfs with
out number. Wool scarfs for girls who
like outdoor pleasure, silk scarfs for
the rink and indoor skating, and
silk scarfs are truly marvels Of beau
tiful color. There are sweaters too OF
every possible kind. There are
Angora sweaters with caps to match
that will mean genuine warmth and
comfort as we'll as perfect smartness
for outdoor skating throughout the
year.
Every kind of fancy neck piece is in
vogue. Chin Chin" collars Of fur are
exceedingly smart and handsome.
They make ideal gifts either with or

with belt. and beneath il, are panta-
lcttes of the same material with bands
Of the fur which reach just to the top
Of the high skating shoes. The hat
is a cap and scarf in one, made OF the
velvet and trimmed with the fur. The
scarf portion passes over the crown
10 the shoulders to be wound around
the throat, with the end that will
droop or loat in the wind as may be.
Ii is an extremely beautiful costume,
it is a typical skating costume and
shows the features of the season at
a glance. The One-piece gown OF
the velvet is quite warm enough Tor
wear in the rink and it is little less
weighty than the Russian blouse
with skirt or the coat-suit, although
the others also are seen. A beautiful
gown, for example. is of white broad
cloth with trimming of beaver fur
and is made with a semi-circular skirt
and long Russian blouse, the edge
OF the blouse being banded with the
fur and the collar and cuffs being
made Of the same. One of The pret-
test OF the coat suits is OF maroon
colored velveteen. with belted blouse
cut with high collar, made with Rus
sian closing and with It, gored skirt,
the belt being held at the waist line by
a sash OF soft glove silk. Bright colors
and white are favorites for costumes OF
this sort and they will add immensely
to the picturesqueness of the scenes.
Green and rich, dark red, medium
blues and tan color with bits OF bright
colors, are favorites.
Fascinating coats are made in the
tan color, Of a rough blanket-like cloth
with a border or Roman stripes. and
with these coats, are worn scarts to
match, for the scarf is ubiquitous
this season. Primarily, It is a skating
scarf and Of course it is perfect for
such use, but we will see the scarf
worn for all occasions. They are
offered in wool materials, with woven
borders, they are shown of heavy
cloths with worsted embroidery and
worsted fringe as finish. they are to
be found in the glove silk and in
smooth silk, in quiet colors and in gay
cclors, in plain colors and in stripes,
but perhaps there are none of them
more attractive than the ones that
show the Roman coloring, for it seems
especially well adapted to skating use

and it makes brilliant spot II the cos
tune otherwise is of quiet tone.
Women who like to make such access
sories, or, who are thinking Of Christ
mas gifts, will do we'll to bear the scarf
in mind, for they can be varied in
great many different ways and they
can be made marvellously attractive.
A very smart one, seen today, is made
of white blanket-like cloth in an ivory
tone and is finished at the ends with
a fringe of yellow worsted that is
knotted onto it: above the fringe on
each end, is embroidered big yellow
rose with green leaves, all the work
being done in heavy worsted threads.
None Of the making would represent
any considerable amount of labor, yet
the scarf is an extremely attractive
one and as a matter of course, the color
scheme can be varied indefinitely.
Caps with scarf ends such as the one
Just mentioned, are much liked and
much used and are made from a great
many different materials, and Incl
dentally, they are the simplest things
in the world to make, cut and to sew.
ANY woman who can use a pattern
or make a garment, can make one OF
them. Very attractive ones show
cloth with a band Of fur finishing the
cap; others, again, are Of material to
match the costume, as broadcloth or
velours with bands Of fur across the
straight ends OF the scarf. The en-
broidery. suggested above, can be put
to a great many uses, and the ends Of
the scarf may be finished with fringe
knotted onto them, with bands or may
be drawn together and attached TO
tassels or balls or to any other finish
Of a similar sort.
As a matter of course. the MILDLY
blouse is not overlooked in the offering
of skating costumes, for the MILDLY is
admirably adapted to all exercise and
to all sports. A new and interesting
development Of the garment. gives a
suggestion Of the Russian idea. II is
high at the throat with a wide straight
collar and il is closed at the left sh0ul-
der and the left under-ar n seam. The
lower edge is gathered and finished
with wide band. A smart gown, seen
today, is made Of what is known as
uncut beaver plush in black and white
stripes, to be worn over a skirt Of
black corduroy. made in sports style.

EVIDENTLY skating is to be the
sport Of the winter; at every
- turn, one is met with handsome
and approl rate costumes and with
accessories that are enough TO fll
even the most prosaic woman's mind
with envy. Whether the supply has
followed the demand or the demand
has followed the supply, 1t could be
a difficult question to answer but the
fact that interesting costumes and
fascinating accessories are being
lavishly displayed is true beyond dis
pute. For outdoor skating, one must
OF course have genuine warmth,
but there is 50 much skating
done within doors these days that
the most attractive possible gowns
are worn and suits OF light and
medium weight materials. Velvet,
Velveteen, corduroy, wool vclours,
broadcloth all are favorite materials.
fur plushes are used for trimming and
in combination and there are a great
many suits and coats Of the woven
stockinette materials that are most
attractive. while the rough cloths arc
woven with borders for the purpose,
present a really wonderful color
display.
All Russian effects are extremely
popular for the purpose and they GER
tainly suit skating to perfection. The
Russian blouse with skirt makes a
. very handsome costume and the Rus
sian coat also is in demand, but among
the coats, it may fairly he said that the
sports model takes first place; it is
easy to slip on and off, it is loose and
comfortable and is Of Just about the
correct length tor the exercise. Skirts
that accompany these coats also are
made in sports style and in plain gored
STYLES and there are a great many cos
tunes shown with pantalettes to
match, that arc in every way appro-
pirate, snNrt and to be desired.
They are certainly more modest than
the petticoat and more comfortable
and they provide both warmth and
freedo n. A handsome costume and
one that shows the use Of pantalettes
to great advantage, is made OF green
velvet with trimming Of brown fox
fur. There is a one-piece gown with
fiaring skirt and simple blouse that
is edged around the bottom with
a wide band Of the fur and it is worn

without mufs, but pcrha. i.l Collar
ana deep cuffs Of velvet edged with
fur that can be slipped over any coat
or gown and always give a touch OF
smartness and picturesque color will
find even the greater welcome. II
something palmer is wanted a neck
piece and mud of velvet can be made
most attractive with Just a little fur
as trimming to accentuate the season.
They are very beautiful and are very
much liked for the theatre, dinner and
occasions Of the sort. Clever women
can make them at home for moderate
cost.

Utah Furnishes Expo Material

The state of Utah has made another

the Oldest building materials. 1t was
used extensively in the building OF
