Skating, like all other outdoor
sports, happily finds its number of
devotees increasing from year to year.
The interest in the pastime for those
who skate and to those who are sim
ply onlookers increases in proportion
to the variety and fitness which is evil
denced in skating costumes. The skat-
ing field makes background for color
which the sport-loving have not failed
to appreciate, and the adoption of
beautiful colors for skating clothes
will make it as fascinating as the
dancing floor.
With these things in mind costum-
ers present number of sport-coats,
sweaters, skating costumes, caps, muf-
flers, and "headwraps" to meet the re-
quirements of those fortunate women
who take to the ice. Opportunity to
look her prettiest knocks at the door
