NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-YOu skate
on thin ice-so far as style goes
this winter-unless you assemble
your winter sports costumes with
an eye for accessories after the
fact of chic. o
The skirt and jacket itself is i'm
portant of course. But it's the &C
cessories that cut the fancy figures
on the ice this winter.
Unless you have secuted about
In sports departments you may be
amazed at the dozen or so indi-
vioual items labeled: What the
vell-dressed skater will wear"
To begin from the inside out,
which is what any one does who
knows the alue OF being smart
and yet shiverless, there are scrump-
tuous soft-as-Silk indies, If you are
coming right back home from skat-
ing and don't mind staying warm.
Breechettes Are Warm
Better for the average skater, and
new this winter, are the silk and
wool breechettes that are made to
fit like a glove and, like glove,
are made to be removed when you
go into the clubhouse afterward to
dance or play bridge.
Just step into the dressing room,
peel them off, roll them up and
tuck them into tiny glove silk
bag. They come in all the primary
colors, and beige and brown, are
warm as toast and allow you to
wear your regulation kind of lin
gerie.
New, too. is the peasant mitten
for skating, rather than the effete
fur or f1eece-lined glove. These
come in ensemble sets to match up
with your scarf and cap, or your
socks.
Color Schemes Gay
Or they come alone, in Haunting
gay Russian or Scandinavian color
schemes that should warm your
hands by their tone, to say nothing
of their soft wool.
AS for hats for skating, the
beret's the thing, or the stocking
cap with childish tassel. If you
honestly are no longer a child, and
admit you bear slight resemblance
to one, pick the beret.
It's youthful without being child
1sh. They Irvine around the head,
stick on the back of the scalp, come
down over the ears, cover the fore
head, leave it exposed, or do a
dozen other nice things to your
face, depending on just what you
want done and just which beret you
pick to do it.
Scarfs Are New Wrinkle
Roman striped wooden berets
and scarfs are the newest wrinkle.
However, they forego the Fascist
black shirt color scheme and go in
for the old-fashioned red, green,
gold, black and white schemes
that little girls sashes affect.
A handsome two-some ensemble
OF this type is a ravishing beret
with braided frontiSpiece and a
scarf that wraps up your throat
and has an end to spare for beauty's
sake, down the front.
What you wear under your reef
er in the way of blouse depends
On the state of your finances. You
can wear just anything.
But there are such delectable
fancies as a soft green crepe de
chine blouse with open-work black
lace sleeves and scarf neck, to go
with black skirt and a green suede
jacket that cost money, but hon
estly seem worth it, they are so
hattering to a girl
For Warmth and Beauty
Then there are such trif1es as
camels-hair socks, in pretty colors
or white, with fur to top them,
Last, but not least, comes the
newest costume for skating, the
dashing black-white color scheme,
called the snow-silhouette. A black
tweed skirt, cut circular, a sleek
white chamois jacket with tailored
lapels, pockets and belt, and cute
chamois beret in soft white, too.
Long, white mittens, perhaps the
type that have flared cuffs, and
black knitted wool scarf, worn
Ascot-tie fashion, white socks and
black skating shoes over long white
wool hose.
There you are, a smart snowbird
indeed, ready to match your chic,
as well as your skating figures, with
any one on the ice.
