door maid is equipped with close- fitting cap of warm angora which may be dragged down over ears and cheeks and soft skiing shoes lined with wool Leather Sport Coats The Vogue. There are very smart sport and country coats of leather stitched and trimmed with strappings of the ma terial and sometimes with fur. In similar effect but. more exclusive style are pontine coats, new this season. Pontine has a waxed outer surface which sheds rain or melted snow and is at the same time impervious to cold. On the inner side is a facing of cloth which is used in turned back collars, cuffs and pocket flaps. Of gray pontine is the good looking belt l ed motorcoat with hat made of the inner or cloth side in Kings blue with strap trimmings of white pontine.
 The coat is stitched with Kings blue
 silk which is very effective in close
 rows on the gray, leather-like sur
 face. A skating coat of pontine, also
 deep blue in color. with facing of sal
 mon cloth turned over to show at the
 collar is pictured also. The jockey
 cap is of Kings blue pontine with a | tailored bow of the salmon cloth.
 Metal buttons in two sizes add their
 smartness to the coat.
 For Winter Bride Paths.
 The girl who enjoys her canter on
 brisk winter mornings is warmly
 dressed. but not as warmly as she
 who skates or skis; for horseback rid
 ing is a sport that sets the blood all
 in a glow and the moment one dis
 mounts there is a big coat ready t) slip on. For park riding in midwinter I is a riding suit of dark green melton
 with full flare. satin-lined coat and
 brooches to match with buckskin fac
 ings. Over brown glazed kid riding
 boots are laced puttees of brown leather. The riding hat is of black beaver in tricorne shape.

costume. Of course the coquettish
 pantalets that make no pretense of
 hiding themselves. under the short
 skirt, are of white velvet too; and
 their frilled edges overlap the tops of smart skating boots of white wash
 able kid These are most admirable
 skating boots, soft as gloves over the foot, instep and ankle so that perfect
 freedom of movement is possible; yet
 with soles stout enough to support the skates and heel so low that the foot is just lifted from the ground. The costume is completed by a white vel vet cap with a tuft, of the white fox, and by gloves of white buckskin.
 Skating Togs For The Country. The beautiful white velvet skating costume is for rather formal oc-
 casions, at the rink or on the frozen
 lake of the park. Out in the real country less exquisite attire suits the
 picture better. very attractive new skating sweater is pictured, with cap and scarf to match. These are not
 knitted but are of new woven wool and silk fabric with texture some
 thing like thick terry cloth. The white ground is wool, the stripes are
 woven with silk in soft bright color ings. In the sweater pictured the stripes are in Roman effect of buff, turquoise, salmon. orchid and wine
 color. The long silk fringe and the
 sash in solid color. add to the hand
 some appearance of this skating set which accompanies a skirt of white
 broadcloth and boots of white buck
 skin. The gloves-of course the skat- ing girl must wear warm gloves-are
 also of white buckskin.
 A particularly enchanting new skating sweater is of heavy buff col- ored silk in very closely knitted
 stitch with generous trimming of nat
 ural marabout. There is widely f1aring tunic to the knees which is an
 achievement for a knitted garment.
 It is separate from the upper part,

shaped like an ordinary sweater and fastening down the front with covered buttons. The tunic has very sloping side seams which give it. a ripple eff feet at the sides, and it is shaped much too large at the waist for the upper part in the knitting, the stitches being massed close together in at taching the tunic so. that the latter falls in slightly gathered or ripple effect. Wide bands of marabout trim neck and sleeve and the. edge of the tunic, and a broad, knotted sash with fringed ends hides the joining of coat and tunic sections.
 All the new knitted sport coats have very wide sashes with fringed ends and the colors of some of these coats are marvellous. They are made, also, with the new sort of collar that
 turns down in wide sailor effect, or turns up in dOuble-choker style.
 Sturdy The Garb For Skis.
 Skiing is sport of the wilds; for | good and sufficient reasons it can
 never be pursued near city limits. Ii demands wide sweep of hill and dale
 and plain. It is enjoyed in the nip
 ping cold of wind-swept spaces and
 one must be prepared for many a fall
 and many a scramble-and very like | ly roll over and over, down an icy hill. Rough and tumble togs are the | sort for skiing. Modishness may be
 dispensed with, though even these cos tunes are touched with the charm of good lines and pleasing colors. A sim pie and sturdy sport suit of all wool English mixture with short skirt that can be widened by an adjustm ent of the buttons and a compact jacket we'll provided with pockets is shown. Under this good looking tailored suit are warm togs. also; union suit of fine
 wool, stockings of wool and knee brooches of material like the skirt.
 Over all goes a good warm blanket coat of Mackinaw plaid and as to headgear andF footwear the out-of-

skating costume, yet the new models of this type succeed in being daring and coquettish rather than suggestive of the admirable modesty of pantalet-, ed limbs beneath a skirt that is likely to fly about. The pictured costume is of snow white velvet with pan talets of the same material. The far ing skirt which hangs in soft pleats from the upper coat section, is cut in points at the edge and trimmed with
 white fox. The same fur is used for the collar and for edging the sleeves which bell a little toward the wrist The cut of the upper portion of this coat is masterly. There is roominess
 combined with trimness and the ex-
 tended sections at the sides give
 graceful line over the hips. The full
 ness is held in at back and front by
 shaped belt sections fastened with
 buttons. The model might well off,
 fer inspiration for a tailored street
 coat with skirt to match, though it
 was designed originally for a skating

agreeably from the material of the skirt on which it rests. The knitting bag is of the same lowered silk lined with leaf green silk and trimmed with Q narrow band trimming of dull gold lace. For the apron will be required a yard of 36-inch silk. One of the corners is sliced off and made, sep arately, into a little bib, also bound with the black velvet ribbon. The corner from which the bib is taken forms the top of the apron; it is not gathered in the usual way, but group of close shirrings is put in at the center. The belt is of velvet ribbon. This apron may be made with strips of wide Dresden lowered ribbon if preferred. Be sure to press the seams where the ribbons are joined very carefully, and be sure to sew the seams, also, with silk. Carelessness
 in this last respect will give the dainty, handmade apron a ready-made sug- gestion, for alas! so many things one
 pays good prices for in the shops show
 the common touch of cheap cotton thread.
 This apron and the knitting bag that matches it. will go with ten hanks
 of green worsted and a pair of amber
 knitting needles as Christmas gift, this year; and one is certain the green sweater as it grows under the busy needles, will look very well indeed against the rose and green and black silk apron.
 r Most attractive knitting bags are made of cretonne, the heavy, rich-pat- termed English cretonne which has gorgeous flowers against background of black These cretonnes are not
 cheap but they are quite as beautiful
 as silk and are, besides, very, very smart. To make such bag, gather
 a yard of cretonne at either end oyer
 long oval, or elliptical, wooden hoop;
 and the hoops should first be wound with ribbon or covered with strips of the cretonne closely shirred The ends of the bag Cor the doubled up
 edges of the cretonne) may be gath

 button moulds covered with the cre- tonne. A lining of thin silk or silk olene improves such bag very much

may be passed along?" But nobody with conscience and sentiment can treat thus lightly the hand-built gift that has been a labor of love for the recipients sake, and somehow or oth- err such gifts are usually made to fit into the scheme of daily living, though perchance sigh of relief goes up on the day when they wear out or be- come too dingy for further use.
 Among the acceptable gifts are aprons and the favored apron this sea- son is of silk, It is called knitting apron and is matched by aNgay knit ting bag; for knitting bags are about the gayest and gaudiest things one knows of. They have entirely trans formed the once elderly and staid occupation of knitting to a lightsome and frivolous pastime. One knitting apron is of lowered warp-printed silk with great rose pink peonies splashed over a gray background that is inter- laced with gray-green leaves and a border of black velvet ribbon intensi- fes the color and separates the apron

the embroidering of the future pos sessor's initials on one side. A satin lining and an interlining of perfume ed cotton batting will add to the attrac- tiveness of the receptacle.
 Several pretty gifts which have rib bon as their basis, are grouped in an illustration. The reticule is made of lowered printed ribbon over a covered frame such as may be bought for. a few cents. The silk tassels and cord handles add to the smart ness of the bag. The slipper stretch CTS are ordinary wooden ones with ribbon shirred and formed into gay rosettes on the flexible center DOT tions. Next to the stretchers is a talcum "spatter" for the bath room. The "spatter' is made of lambs s wool-lined slipper sole and the jar

and the color of this lining may match the cretonne or add an extra splendor by it's gay, contrasting hue.
 Ribbon cases for the safe-keeping g of knitting needles not in use are ac- ceptable' little gifts, very easy to fashion. The edges of the ribbon may be featherstitched together and the long case should close with flap at one end, secure by a snap-button. Such a case. holding two sets of needles; one of amber in. No. size for sweater-knitting and another set of fine steel needles for knitting the border and trimmings, makes an ad- mirable Christmas gift. Exactly like the knitting-needle case, but many times larger, is the corset case made of wide fancy ribbon. This case should

ored garb for shopping and runabout wear in town: but such boots are not correct according to the canons of conventionality. Pretty boots of bronze or light colored glazed kid are intended for formal wear with danc- ing or reception frock when one travels by limousine or brougham; the walking costume in tailored style demands a smart walking boot with. long, slender lines and heel, high per- haps but not too curved for comfort. Such boots are of mahogany or black glazed kid with buttoned tops of cloth or buckskin in neutral tone. Tobasco brown boots with buttoned tops of cloth in the same color are very fash ionable at the moment; so are black Russian calf boots with pearl but toned tons of J9r,nnnAtal gray cloth

many Of them are distinctly bizarre, when judged by the eye of conven- tionality. The very latest whimsey in winter sport attire is the skating cos tune with pantalets. Now, if there be any costume in the world to which
 pantalets properly belong, it is the
