with hemmed edges buttoned together
pockets. There is cap of the striped
material too that is exceedingly chic.
Now and again, there are gowns of
dainty materials as crepe de chine or
some similar materials, fur trimmed
and offered for the skating suit; they
are pretty, they are dainty and when
they are worn with fur shoulder capcs
and fur trimmed caps, they are very
fascinating but not exactly practical
for the generality of womankind, and
consequently the more sturdy ma
terials will be the preferred ones. A
most fascinating gown that is not
heavy, yet not so thin as the crepe,
is made of white chiffon broadcloth.
1t is very simple in cut, bodice and
skirt being in one and shocked to
form the girdle, but it is finished
with little shoulder cape and high
faring collar and both the cape and
the collar are edged with skunk fur.
The skirt is finished with band of the
fur and the long sleeves are shocked
to form cuffs. 1t is an ideal gown,
fascinating on the ice and charming
wherever it may be worn. A hand
some accompaniment for the skating
costume is one of the pretty scarf caps
made of the material OF the gown and
trimmed with fur and also little round
muff that is delightfully."- suggestive of
the old-time quaint costume and which
belongs to this one by natural right.
A second costume which also is Of
white broadcloth, is distinctly diff
ferent from this last. but Of equal
interest. There is plain, short skirt
with a band of the beaver fur that
comes to the top of the high skating
shoes, and over it is a plated tunic,
pointed at front and back and at the
sides and with the side edges buttoned
together. The blouse shows an over
portion at front and back, buttoned
onto an under one. The sleeves are
both novel, laid in plaits below the
elbows, Raring little over the wrists
and they also are edged with the fur,
and to complete the effect, there is
sash of orange cloth velvet, bordered
with beaver and finished with heavy
orange colored tassels. The neck-scarf
of beaver is worn closely about the
throat and the close fitting cap of the
same and the little round muff COM
plete the effect.
