For the city girl a few lessons taken in a rink will give her sufficient idea of balance and of the rudiments of the sport to make it possible to soon become a pro- ficlent skater on real ice. ~~ a 8 The correct skating costume is of a rough material, with skirt shorter than the ordinary and a half fitted jacket of three quarter length, while thé hat should be small and should fit snugly on the head. Plaited skirts are not worn this) year, but a skirt to be comfortable to skate in should have sreater width and flare than is given in the regular fashion- able model this season. An excellent style of skirt is one that closely resem bles the old golf skirt of heavy tweed, ~ made circular, with a deep double stitched hem at the feet to keep the ma-| terigl from blowing about in the wind, A} plain gored skirt is also good for the pur pose, but no matter what the design the | material should be of fairly heavy qual: | ity. n ~~ OR outdoor skating a good length of skirt is one which reaches just to the | top of the laced boots, but for the girl whose skirts are still short this one] may be of the same length as the rest of | her gowns, | The jacket for a skating costume | should be made full large. to allow of a sweater being worn underneath, as there * i LE | too heavy garments are not worn while] In gloves, heavy pigskin or gray castor ' on the ice there is little or no danger of are both smart, while for the country ket, as, un-] this coat, and leather collar, revers and " S ) taking cold in a rink, but so soon as the| fur lined lehither or white woollen gloves The old jess it is extremely cold, too long a ¢ islcuffs are always smart on the Norfolk | v skater becomes overheated and then|are equally popular, the woollen being of Norfolk jacket is an excellent model for a great inconvenience.
