of Fashion to the riding costume and very convenient the rider finds them too! This riding girl wears a soft white silk shirt of heavy texture, green tie and dark green velour hat. Her shoes and laced puttees are of black calfskin; her gloves are of very dark tan kid. A suit of dark brown mixed worsted with tan calf puttees and boots would be equally correct and in this case the tie might be crimson. For mind you, horse back neckties are very gay affairs this season.
 Just The Costume For Winter
 TrampS. ...
 The girl who finds exercise on foot more beneficial and more congenial than exercise on horseback, selects her winter tramping costume with equal care. A pedestrian in the coun- try has to look extra smart to look smart at all, so the girl who tramps sees to it that her clothes are know ingly cut as well as wnrm, light and comfortable. The sport suit pictured is 8 new model of excellent style. The skirt is wide enough for easy stepping, out and comes to the top of a sensible, low hee1ed walking boot. The long cape is flannel lined and warm as toast and the hands may be thrust into the big pockets either inside or

How To Make a
 Lamp Do Its Best

M T IS SURPRISING how many peo-
 pie, in this day and generation of
 electricity. have oil lamps for
 reading. There is no light for the student like the mellow, steady glow from a good oil lamp. Such a light is much less trying to the eyes than either the flicker of gas or the hard, bright glare of electricity. There is something homelike too about shaded lamplight; in a students room 1t gives an atmosphere which no mod ern illumination can hope to eorai- any more than gas logs or an electric heater can equal the glow of a wood fire on the hearth.
 But an oil lamp must be well taken care of if it is to do it's best Neg iected, its light will become dim and uncertain. 1ns cad of being clear and white, the flame will be smoky and dark. Most people conscientiausly trim the wick of a lamp but utterly ignore the perforated disk around the wick. This should be frequently and thoroughly cleaned by boiling in a solution of washing soda. The num- Der of holes in the disk are planned to give the quantity of air necessary for perfect flame. When the holes become clogged the flame is dark and smoky. The wick is a pump which lifts oil from the font to the flame. Do not use a wick too long, supply new ones of soft, loosely woven ma terial frequently, and never try sewing . piece of old flannel on wick to prolong it's life as over-economical Housewives have been known to do
 Never turn the flame up to its full height when lighting the lamp. Wait till burner and chimney are warm and then turn to desired height. This will save lamp chimneys. Blowing out lamp means oil on the outside of the burner. and oil on the outside of the burner means a lamp that smells Turn down the wick and let the lamp go out itself. and leave the wick in that position until lighted asain-

w for the long suffering workers of the Red Cross by turning in knitted garments that cannot possibly be used. out by local Red Cross headquarters the other day and the busy knitters who were summoned wondered where the association had suddenly procured lot of thrice precious wool-so very difficult to get now. When one of the knitters presented herself at Red Cross headquarters she was handed three khaki wool sweaters with the request: Please rip these up and re-knit; they are absolutely .unusablez as1t 1they7,are." One of the sweaters would haNe-.been a tight fit for small boy scout; an other was so long and thin that only a. Don Quixote could have worn it; the third was proportioned for prize fighters shoulders-and in length would have reached just over his diaphragm! On the shelves of closet in the Red Cross room were ffty-six sweaters that could only be used if ripped up and re-knit in proper shape.
 This does seem a lamentable waste of time and energy does it not? With wool so scarce and so high priced. so sadly in need of warm garments, to think of f1fty-six perfectly useless sweaters at one Red Cross headQuar- ters! And reports are coming in from other headquarters ali over the coun- try that the khaki and navy and gray sweaters are being received in all

Strong Togs For The Snowshoes.


 One of the toughest and also one of the most exhilarating winter sports is snowshoeing, and the costume must be of a sort to stand the strain of stumbles and tumbles, of briers and rocks and underbrush. Sturdy to the last detail, yet attractive enough withal to please the fancy of the most captious maid, is the costume pie tured; loosely built coat and skirt model of rose pink duvetyn, every seam double stitched, the belt but toned to the coat, the cuffs strapped in at the wrist and the pleats of the skirt reinforced where they open so that no sudden tug can rip the fabric. This maid wears a close knitted cap and warm scarf of rose co1ored wor- sted to match her suit. Her stout shoes are of water-proofed leather; her gloves are of angora wool. The cos tune is usually bright colored and looks charming as it's wearer dashes about over the white wintry land scape. The smart little skating suit is almost "parlor" costume in it's contrast with the rough and ready snowshoe costume; but modern skat- ing is more or less of a formal sport, and even velvet is considered none too good for the rink. This outdoor skat- ing costume is of scarlet glazed leath- CT with beaver fur collar and cuffs. The pointed flap trimming on the skirt and pointed buttonhole motifs on the coat give harlequin suggestion that adds to the gaiety of the suit, and the black buttons are effective against the scarlet leather. The pointed cap after the style of the chasseurs Alpine, has beaver fur pompon at the back White buckskin skating shoes with

~ HE MOST SURPRISING of all
 ~ the odd contrivances put out by A ambitious retailers to attract
 0 feminine fancy, is the new stock ing foot, designed to be worn over light colored boots on snowy or sloppy days. The contrivance looks at first glance like an ordinary stocking of rather heavy silk weave-and some of them are of wool in sport color com binations. But the toe is a little broader than is usually the case with woman's silk hosiery, and exactly un- der the heel there is round hole, reinforced at the edge. This hole is for the high heel of the shoe to slip through. The stocking is drawn on over the shoe, the heel projecting through the hole. Then a sandal style rubber overshoe is slipped on, over the stocking and there you are, ready to walk even on wet pavements, quite presentable and neat but with your pretty white or fawn coIored buttoned boots as safely protected from spat- ters of mud as they would be in the wardrobe at home.

you must knit at least eighty ribs be- fore you think of casting on for sleeves; and ninety or a hundred ribs will make an even smarter length. Rather discouraging, Is it not, when worsted grows more costly every hour? And the wool scarf or muff1er must be long also-long enough to be drawn beneath the belt of the sport coat and fall nine or ten inches over the skirt at either side. This is the way the smart girl wears her knitted
 muff1er now for golf or tramping.

sorts of grotesque and impossible pro. portions. The trouble seems to be that some women will not take time to regard the official directions for knitting war garments. They are in "too much of a hurry" to turn the shoulder; or having put on 70 stitches instead of 80 to start, they guess it will be all right"-ten stitches more or less could not make much difference! !! The woman who cannot-or will not knit according to directions would do much better to contribute money for wool and let some more conscien- tous worker wield the knitting needles.

boots for dress wear fit instep and ankle so beautifully that even with wool stocking over the boot the foot does not look clumsy-provided the ankles beneath are naturally trim and shapely.
