of short skirts, the dressing of

Tan and gray uppers are popu-

On Fifth Avenue.

The Fifth Avenue shops show
advanced models designed for
southern wear, but which are
quite as interesting to the women
who stay in town. New skirts
are full and short, with a decided
flare at the foot, and these lines
are secured in many different
ways. Tucks and bands-ap-
pliqued tuck fashion-are among
the newest reYivals of trimmings
that stiffen the skirt from foot to
knee, emphasizing it's width.
PIeatings of all descriptions are
very much used for skirts. When
of the accordion variety they are
finished with heavy satin or vel
vet cords which secure the fash
ionable flare.

The first skate ever used, as far as

BY BROWN HOLMES.

The boom In skating this year
arouses interest in the origin of the
sport and the changes it has under.
gone in costumes and implements.
Back in 1865 star skaters appeared
in fur-trimmed suits with short trous.
ers and tights between the trousers
and fur.topped boots. The style OF
costume is illustrated by picture
OF Jackson Haines, champion, in a
book In Spalding's library.
In 1871 Captain John Miller, OF De.

the first of the kind in America. With
these old implements he won speed
