Breeches of Black and White Check Enhance a Coat of Black J At Right--For the Roughest Climb Is This Cape Costume of Brick Red Edged in Black Fur. By Mme. Frances The Famous Creator of Fashions + HE pleasures of outdoor sports are ing more devotees with each wmpturning fall. This pleasant time of the year invites many women to the trail or the links and naturally they us} give some consideration to the clothes tha they wear. At the present time there is a great outery as to the wearing of knickers, not only for sport but also for general daily use. For the former, I think the knicker suit is often an absolute essential if its wearer would enjoy to the full the sport in which she ind ges. As for adopting the knicker suit for everyday city or busi- ness wear, that is a matter that must be decided by the individual, and that deci- sion will doubtless be influenced by the environment in which she finds herself. On this page I show several types of - sports clothes that will undoubtedly ap- peal to women who wish to adopt the clothes best suited to the individual sport or the special occasion which demands their use. Hiking, which has long been popular on the other side of the Atlantic, is now a favorite diversion of many Ameri- can women. It is one of the pleasures that may be enjoyed without the dues of ~ country club or any of the varied ex- penses that are so often incidental to the enjoyment of sport in this "sweet land of liberty." / To Be Worn on the Trail It is not even imperative that special garb be worn, for hikers like to express their individual taste in the matter of dress. However, for those who are com- tively new followers of the trail, I ve created a costume that will surely win their approval This is a three-piece affair and is fash- ioned from one of the lovely Scotch fleeces that are so light in weight, yet comfort- ably warm, Very shaggy in appearance, it is a lovely brick red in color, for if one should traverse the woods at this time of the year it is well to wear rather bright colors, so that the eye of the hunter will discern the walker and make no mistake when he aims his rifle. one of the in features of this cre- ation is that the skirt may be discarded entirely s its wearer come to some "rough going," for this is often met with when you leave the broad highway. The cape may also be used for a blanket, if you would rest a bit be- yond the roadside. It is bordered with a handsome piece of black bear fut, which is decidedly good- looking. 'The skirt, too, is trimmed in matching mode. The trousers are tucked into high, doors Gi Freedom of Movement the Motif of Mme.

These, of course; -are very pli: able and not infre- quently they are kept well oiled to insure some resistance to the moisture of dew or rain. The little hat, made of bear fur, will de- light any woman who walks, for it is so snug, yet good-look- ing, that it will nev- er yield to the lure of the wind or the outstretched arms of some spreading tree. I find that -the woman who golfs is becoming more enamoured of the use of knickers. When w such a suit she can get the dressed when she canters along the woodland bridle path or rides in the park. , think nothfhg is more effective than a riding habit which com- bines black and white. -- This is especially good for town wear, full benefit of a good drive, for she has wintl and whip aro detriment of The model an the eoun : prefer the heavy hand-knmitted silk stock- ing, yet the enthusiastic sportswoman . from a decora ' usually affects wool stockings, as they do not retain moisture. The hat that is worn with this smart suit is of violet felt with a band of violet ribbon about its crown. This color is also emphasized in the stunning scarf of violet cloth that is carelessly draped around the neck. Of course, this may be discarded when its wearer plays golf. although on cool mornings before or aftér the game its warmth is a jated, while its value e viewpoint is not over- looked by the woman with artistic inclipa- "Another sport that has many admir- ers is horseback riding.
