quaint than our own, but ours are of

II conserving fabrics help to make it
possible for the devotee of the touring
car to face ordinary winter weather
and keep comfortable. Coats with
broad collars of fur that can be fas-
tened up close about the neck, caps
that stick to the head and are soft,
shaped to protect the eyes and not to
catch the wind, with wells that cannot
come off-all have been planned for

that likes to drive, and the contest of
overshoes, encourage her to defy the

Here are two caps that are thor
oughly practical and at the same time
have the compelling virtue of being
good-looking. They are modelled after
the jaunty jockey-cap type, but have
full, soft crowns and can be pulled
down over the ears.
In each of them the veil is held in
place by narrow straps made of the
same material as the cap. These
straps are sewed at one end to the
cap and fasten at the other with
snap fasteners. This allows the vel
to be brought down over the face and
wound about the throat, or to be fas
tened up off the face or wholly de
tached.
