skating on the Lincoln Memorial
rejecting pool.
IF you are planning on q weekend
holiday trip to the mountains, you
will want real ski suit with long,
warm. woolly trousers topped by a
short jacket over sweater: you might
even be interested in one of those new
reindeer coats, such as was shown last
week in a local fashion parade Of
North and South clothes" These
coats, in swagger length, and cut, are
new arrivals among furs, we are in
formed. The fur is shorter-haired
than raccoon, much lighter in weight,
and very durable. 1t has been used
successfully in Switzerland both for
lining mems sport coats and as an out
side fur. Due to the fact that the
number Of pelts are limited in each
season. these coats will never become
too extensively used to lose their style
and interest. Fur shops are limited to
a very few coats, but lucky is the girl
who gets one Of them.
AS to the ski outfits, they run to
navy blue and white, but some have
green trousers with grey jackets and
there are other color combinations.
Turtle-neck sweaters are in great de-
mand for outdoor sports, with white the
favorite. Fancy embroidered wool
gloves and scarfs are part of the fun.
For after ski lounging. there is such
snappy suit with bright red corduroy
trousers, and q white flannel or felt
bolero jacket embroidered around the
edge with gay Tyrolean flowers.

EOR those who turn their faces to-
ward the southland there are many
new ideas in beach togs and light
frocks for daytime and evening. New
in bathing suits is an outfit of blue and
white printed linen that is strapless
and yet seems to stay put" most
miraculously. 1t was modelled last
week in the fashion show mentioned
above, and we can only hope it will
prove as successful for actual SWIM
ming as 1t was on the runway.
Liberty silk prints were shown. and
linens favored dark colors combined
with light. The textures were rcugh
or spongy. Many chiffon w7icht
linens were shown. Unusual prints
are inviting enough to be purchased
whether you are going South or stay
ing home. Many of them are quite in
expensive. The tuck-pleated skirt vas
noted in several new models. 1t makes
a splendid sports dress either in white
nubby linen or in dusty pink with belt
OF dark dubonnet. A white shirtmaker
frock had black waist, but the sleeves
were white, making a stunning con-
trast and suggesting black accessories.
It was worn with an enormous black
straw cartwheel sailor tied under the
chin.
Mustard yellow had a new look for
q sports frock worn with a red and
white printed calico hat. Purple and
green were noted as a recurring COM
bination of colors. All pansy tones
will be good for the coming season. A
charming evening frock was shown in
pale lavender chiffon with draped
satin bodice of purple in a dark greyed
tone that is most flattering to blonds.
Another delightful color scheme for
the evening combined a rosy beige
marquisette gown with a snug fitting
waist-length jacket OF beaver brown
marabou. Many short marabou coats
and capes were shown with chiffon
frocks both in contrasting and match
ing colors, white with white, pale blue
with white or your own combinati ton.
One OF the most unusual new evening
ensembles was soft powder blue
chiffon gown worn with a wine red
velvet hip-length jacket we'll fitted in
at the waist that was beautifully en-
broidered along the front edges in
soft pastel colors.
