SLEIGHING.

For sleighing, it is customary to w^ar not only warm clothing but garments either wholly or partially made of fur. It is almost needless to remark that bonnets and hats of ordinary materials would be quite out of place in a snowscape. Caps of more or less j aunty design are fashioned out of seal skin, real Asfcrachan, Persian lamb, blue snd silver fox, sable, marten, and beaver. Many of these are not only handsome in themselves, but set off to excellent advantage complexions brightened by the keen air. Fur-lined and fur-covered gauntlets, too, are not only necessary adjuncts to comfort, but add considerably to the smartness of the fair driver's appearance, On a bright winter's day, or in the light of a cloudless moon, no more healthy or pleasant pastime than that of sleighing could well be imagined. Invigorating without fatigue, it is unique as an amusement for the cold weather, and only those who have freely indulged in it can realise the amount of enjoyment to be gleaned from thus gliding along across the frozen snow to the tuneful music of the bells. The air is keen and clear, and, sweeping across the cheeks, leaves a rosy glow and healthy brightness behind. Above all, there is a sense of life and gaiety, and few other pastimes are more suggestive of cheeriness, lively spirits, and robust health. — From The Lady's World.
