Skating Costumes. 
-KATING promises to be one of the 
leading sports of the winter—ii 
we ever have any ice, of course. And 
when Betty goes skating with Jack 
she must look her prettiest, for will 
not Sallie and Amie and Kittie and a 
score of others be there all looking 
their prettiest. Their prettiest will 
be deserving of the superlative when 
they are dressed in the new skating 
costumes that are causing the fair sex 
to sigh for cold weather. 
one of the most effective blouses 
for skating that the exclusive shops 
are Powis is of white velvet, made 
somewhat after the fashion of the 
middy blouse. It is effectively fin- 
ished with enormous black buttons 
and a black belt. 
If Betty is clever with her knitting 
reedles she may want to make for 
herself a cap and scarf set that will 
not only protect ears and throat from 
the biting wind but will be very be- 
the wool 
coming, particularly 1f 
matches her eyes or, perhaps, her 
costume. For the blue-eyed Betty 
there are some lovely soft shades of 
blue, one of which she will be sure 
to. proclaim *“her® color;"sitorsine 
brown-haired Betty there are pretty 
nut browns and other browns, ser- 
viceable as well as becoming; for 
’most any Betty are the brilliant 
orange and rose shades that bring out 
the sparkle in her eye and the color 
in her cheek. Scarves are being mace 
shorter this year, for convenience’s 
sake. The caps are knitted in many 
odd stitches and are made in many 
new shapes, piquant and becoming. 
The skating costume is quite new 
i pits combination of effect and 
warmth. One of the most fashion- 
able is made with a combination of 
large brown plaid homespun and 
leather. The jacket has buttons and 
belt of the brown leather, and the 
skirt, which is pocketed, has buttons 
and border of leather. The skirt is, 
needless to say, quite, quite short and 
very full. Warm, big, lined gloves 
and a pair of stout, little tan “boots 
conrplete the costune.

Judy’s Sireetione for fecnare Holiday Gifts —- 
‘TOR comfort and peace of mind! 
That is the watchword of all the 
early Christmas shoppers who are 
taking Time by his well-worn fore- 
lock and invading the stores now in 
search of the elusive Christmas gift 
that combines individuality with suit- 
ability—suitability to the  giver’s 
purse and suitability to the receiver's 
needs. There is so much comfort in 
shopping now before the shops are 
filled with feverish, tired crowds of 
belated buyers, and it is interesting to 
note what attention and appreciation 
the clerks are giving to these ear‘y 
birds. 
For the girl who “has everything” 
(than whom there is no more difficu!t 
person to choose for) there is a new 
Theatre Record, gotten out by a firm 
with an international reputation for 
excellence in such articles. The little 
book is bound in leather, green, blie 
or red, and is provided with depart- 
ments for Name, Author, Theatre, 
lirpressions and Accompanied by. 
The covers are lined with moire siik 
to ‘ratch the outside, and the work- 
inanship is excellent in every detail. 
The price is $5.00. 
Another distinctive gift, which can- 
oe 
uot be bought in the shops, | think, 
but must be made at your order, is a 
book cover of tooled leather. The 
pattern may be as simple or as elabor- 
ate as you wish and upon your choice 
in this respect will depend to a great 
measure, the cost of the gift. A few 
shops carry the tooled magazine coy- 
ers, some of them effectively lined 
with corded silk, but they do not 
have these most attractive and useful 
covers in book sizes. 
sud vases have made such gains 
in popularity in the last few seasons 
that it is almost impossible to men- 
tion all their delightful styles. For 
an inexpensive and, at the same time, 
pleasing and useful, gift one could 
hardly wake a mistake in buying one 
of the simple, enamel bud vases tha 
cost only about $1.50. 
had in the color of the room in which 
they are to be used, and are especially 
pretty in the dainty shades so often 
chosen for milady’s boudoir, pink or 
blue or white. The black ones are 
very effective, also. A tulip bud vase, 
about a foot high, is enameled, tov, 
and is quite popular. This has a 
green stem and leaves with a colored 
flower. -It is priced at $1.50.
