to take part in winter sporttv‘
to hunt through leafless woods, in
the nipping air of January. to skate
when the thermometer stood nearer
zero than freezing, to go skiing. .to
take long country walks with wind
that reddons noses as well as checks.
There were women enough who
were quite equal to the phyaieal
exertion. They had endurance
enough. and they enjoyed the sense
of physical stimulation and well-
being as a result of aueln cold-
v'ealhrr exercise—hut they needed
courage and enthusiasm in great
abundance became, do their host
though they might. the clothes that
they could find to wear for such
winter sports were atrocious.
You might be willing to go out
tuboggnnlng at night. wearing a pair
of your brother’s trousers. shapcless
man's sweater. homely woolen mit-
lcns. a toboggan hat that belonged
to a child. with an old shawl
u rapped around your shoulders—and
you hoped that it was in the dark
lit the moon. In the light of day“
you simply refused to take part in
winter sports.
But that was in the days before
knickerbockers and judp‘nor brooches
and skirts that stop before they
reach the knees and turtle-neck
sweaters for women and fascinating
windbreaks nnd iominiik lumber-
jack coats and gay colored woolen
gloves and winter sport costumes
that are every bit as feminine and
becoming and swagger as the newest
French evening frock.

Dressmakers Provide Costumes
For a. woman’s sports activities
are now so much a part of her that
no well-known dressmaker here or
abroad can nflord to ignore that
phase of her wardrobe. Perhaps the
French dressmakcrs have done more
than any others in breaking down
old tradition. and making us see
that winter sport clothes in order to
ice warm and subs'antiat need not
be ugly or heavy or shapeless. One
of the most distinguished of the
French dressmakers has recently
shown a winter sports costume of
white velvet—trimmed with long-
hnlred white fox. The velvet coat
which is quite short is lined with
white rabbit and there is a short
full skirt that divides in the middle
of the front. This is edged with the
tong-haired while fox. The high
while boots lace up the middle and
are em with the to: fur. Really
it is a most charming wlnll‘r enl-
lnrnc and not at all impractical. it

sometimes made with button and
button-holes down the front—with
leather brooches beneath. The full
short sport skirt that is chosen for
golf. skating and almolt every other
form of outdoor winter sport is
usually worn over a pair of rather
close-fitting bloomers—heavy silk or
not too heavy woolen jersey being
preferred. These are chosen to
match the skirt which is worn over
them.
The short full skirt is almost
always chosen by the American girl
for skating nowadays. not because
she feels that it is more modest or
more feminine or more respectable
than the knicker type of garment
but because she feels that it is more
lit-coming and graceful and every bit
a: convenient and comfortable.
