Sports Clothes and The Most
Fashionable Sport Skating
The Color Note Is Most Prominent In
The Dashing Costumes
Charming Muffler and Turban Sets

New York. December IL, 1916
The fashionable sport to indulge in
this winter Is skating--there is no
doubt about II. Everyone has taken
to skating with as much ardor as
they took to dancing several winters
ago. Last year everybody skated.
and this year they are to be just as
enthusiastic about 1t. Before the
winter season really came in Official
IL. the Kinks We're thrown open and
thronged with sports-loving crowds.
Is it the love for sports that has
created the charming sports clothes
we see, or is it just the irresistible
charm OF these clothes that has fos-
tered the craze for sports?
Whatever answer the physcholo-
gist may have to this question, the
fact remains that sports clothes have
never been so popular or attractive
as they are today. They have risen
to such a prominent position that
even those who do not pretend to be
sportswomen may wear them with all
propriety.
There are sports clothes of every
type. showing 40 wide variety in

giving extra warmth. Though they
give somewhat a bulky appearance.
they are very becoming and thor
oughly comfortable. In addition to
fur collar one occasionally sees
pockets of fur on cloth coats.
The checker-board design in wool
materials is quite a favorite in dres-
SEES. Relieved by trimming of a
plain material in some harmonizing
tone, the effect is entirely pleasing.
Such a combination is illustrated In
the attractive model in black-and-
white wool check with plain broad
cloth trimming shown here. The up
standing fence" collar extending al
most from shoulder to shoulder is
still featured In a number Of new

another set Of mufier and turban.
Sweaters Of Angora, Shetland
wool, silk and wool Jersey seem to
be more popular than others. and
the models are belted across the
front or back, or all around. Some
times leather belts are worn with
them. Slip-on sweaters with no op-
ening at all have also sprung into
favor again. They are on tho order
Of the popular blouses that are slip

A long coat of wool velours with
a large fur collar buttoned snugly
around the throat is shown here as
an example Of one OF the many smart
coats which are used not only for
skating but for other purposes as
well. marked feature of coats this
season is the large collar, which may
or may not be of fur, according to
the taste of the wearer. Quite I'M

II the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help

is danger signal as much as a

to suppress 1t than to stop a fire bell
when It is ringing, but should cure

by taking Chamberlain's Cough REM

There are lovely sets of long muf-

The Color Note in Sports Clothes.
More striking, perhaps, than any
other feature of sports costumes is
the color note. Bright, vivid colors
are used to larger extent than the
lighter colorings, though all-white
and black and black-and-white COM
binations are very well liked.
White suits of chinchilla or cordu-
roy trimmed with black fur are very
attractive. and some OF these have
muffs to match, combining the ma

which 1t is trimmed.

Around Customer of the Hard.
ware Dealer.

The farmer is the greatest and most
universal consumer of goods in the
hardware line of any class in this
country. Not only does he use every
form of farming implement, but he
has likewise usually a complete as
sortment of carpenters and mechan-
les tools.
He is by far the best customer OF
the hardware dealer in household and
kitchen utensils, and in these days of
sanitation has become large user of
bathroom fixtures and plumbing sun
dries. He is the great cobbler of the
day, being a steady absorbeT of shoe
soles, shoe nails, shoe hammers, shoe
lasts, and rubber heels. He is about
the principal consumer now left in
the harness and saddlery line, and
likewise buys heavily of automobile
and bicycle sundries. OF late he has
become a large user Of electric light
fixtures and of telephone appliances.
Besides that he is a liberal spender
in the way Of pocket knives and cut
lery in general. Also he is the best
buyer of stoves and stove FILINGS

and the most successful is shown in
the illustration. The roof is made in
what is known as saw-tooth style. In
this way the sunlight is admitted to
the back corners of the house and
will assist materially in keeping the
floors clean and in good sanitary con-
dition.
The floor, foundations, and walls
are made of concrete. In the pens a
wooden, movable floor is placed so
that the hogs will not have to lie on
the concrete. The floors can be easily
taken up so that cleaning is not in
terfered with in any way. The NOV
able floor is made of by As spaced
one-fourth inch apart. Another 2 by
4 is nailed under the floor at the ends
and 1 by is placed over the floor
at the ends. These planks hold the
floor together so that it can be re-
moved at one piece.
The floor of the feeding pen can
also be made of concrete, but a very
lean mixture can be used for this DUR
pose. Bank-run gravel can be used.
and the floor should be divided into
slabs as in sidewalk work, as the con-
traction and expansion will cause the
concrete to crack unless some sort of
joints are provided. In handling
