FOR THOSE WHO ARE COMING HOME

HOW TO DRESS FOR THU WINTER SPORTS IN SWITZER-- " LAND. Just a foreword to those who are coining home during the next two or three months and intend including the Swiss sports in their holiday.

There you can buy also the thick woollen oversocks which

As for evening clothes, men are easily catered for as the dinner jacket is the general wear in preference to full evening dress, unless it is one of the ultra-fas-hionable places.

You also need one or two simple afternoon frocks, in addition to warm skating costumes. “WINTER SPORTS’ GIRL.”
