Wool Leather Appropriate

Interestingly enough. the short
skirt seems to be everywhere pre-
ferred by smart women for winter
sports TO knickers. Knockers are
worn with wrap-around skirts over
them.
Often for skiing a sort of peg
topped brooches is worn with a full
hipped jacket, not unlike an eques-
trian costume in general outline.
For the woman who makes IL an
act of principle in dress never to
wear a two-piece costume when a
one-piece costume can be used in
stead, there is much to recommend
the short frock worn over Knockers
for skating. With this sort of frock
some sort of knitted Jersey Is worn
beneath the bodice section to give
additional warmth. but no wrap is
worn. One new skating costume Is of
brown and yellow plaid with a close
collar of fur. and close-fitting brown
Knockers show beneath the slash at
the left side of the skirt.
Another compact little winter sport
costume consists of q long rather
close-fitting knitted tunic edged with
clipped wooi--with long close sleeves
and collar buttoning close up at the
left side of the neck 1t Is worn over
an abbreviated little skirt that ex-
tends only some Ave or six inches be-
low the tunic.
For the girl who wants to get to-
gether a winter sports costume at

trick is to use short sport skirt

irsr blush 1t miga1 seem to
n you that rich peltry was more
"A appropriate for winter sports
than for the wrap to be worn
at the opera or for midwinter
dances. But such does not seem to be
the actual case Every woman who
can afford it has at least one fur eve

really know how to skate make use
Of a fur coat or jacket as part
of their skating costume.
Sometimes the collar or GUNS OF q
skating costume are OF some decora-
tive long haired fur, but brushed
wool seems to be preferred. The idea
seems to be that the very thickness
and compactness of fur, the charac-
teristic that makes the fur wrap al
most indispensable for motoring In
an open car in the winter. makes Ii
rather undesirable for participation
in very active sports in winter.
Seemingly the suede or other leath-
er coat of the sort that are now
known as sportsmen's coats is con-
sidered more appropriate for skating
and other outdoor winter sports than
fur. With this type of skating gar

Suede or glace leather coats In

for winter sports. Beneath such q

is used to give protection to the neck

jacket practically answers the pur-
pose OF turtie-neck sweater and regu-
