Happily. since New Workers. have
been skating assiduously for weeks
already. It Is possible to profit by
their experience. and jump full tilt
into the fashions which they have
worked out.
First and most important are the
skating clothes.
Women skaters of ability will hear
with great jov that it is considered
perfectly proper to wear bloomers
with very short full skirts. or even in
some instances to dispense with the
skirt entirely. and fit about in the
bloomers.
Sometimes these bloop1ers are
merely riding breeches diRnified by
leather leggins, or laced leggins
(which NAV be bought almost any
where at 80 cents and under) Again.
II the skater wishes to wear a skirt,
they are merely gymnasium bloom
ers. with REINFORCED rubber at the
knees.
Some women are fond of wearing
tiahts. but II these are wool. and the
skirt Is wool. no matter how full It is
II will cling to the body and imped"
the movement. 1t is usually neCeS-
sary to wear a short underskirt with
tights. And remember that every
added piece Of clothing adds just that
much more resistance, and subtraCts
lust that much more from the speed
OF the skater.
II the bloomers. or riding breeches,
do not appeal. even with short
skirt. to some women. from the
standpoint OF comfort. other arGu-
ments may be added in their behalf.
The creator the speed the more
heat Is given out by the body. Dress
In light but warm clothing while on
the ice. Then. when II is time to go
home. a heavy coat. skirt and
sweater will keep the cold away.

Votes for Women.

The substantial unanimity with
which the Senate Committee on
Woman Suffrage. regardless Of poll
tics. reported afiirmatively the Su-
san B. Anthony amendment for votes
for women. should give great en-
couragement to the women all over
the country who are carrying on the
battle for equal political rights. And
the arguments embodied in the
report of the committee are unan-
swcrsble in logic and justice. Indeed,
that report is so direct and concise
that the suffrage workers will be
wise 10 make it their platform, and
to see that it is given the widest
publicity. The success of the suf-
frage movement Is. after all, only a
matter of time, and while the women
who are carrying on the struggle
must at times be depressed by the
unreason and lack of logic with
which the obstructionists attempt 10
fortify their position. it is the knowl-
edge of ultimate triumph that sus-
tains and inspires em.-Philade
