Utility and not always beauty is demanded of clothes worn by visitors to Arthur’s Pass, and each Sunday railway excursion sees more and more travellers equipped with ski-ing suits or the more common riding breeches and puttees. Some are owned, some borrowed, and likewise some fit and some do not. The men in some cases wear plus fours, or merely tuck ordinary trousers into the top of thick stockings. To most people appearance does not matter; if their clothes are thick, warm and dry that is all that counts. There are others, however, who visit the Pass as they would the Gardens or some other city resort, and their foolishness is soon realised. Silk stockings and pretty dresses are no use in such weather as was experienced yesterday, when beauty soon became very bedraggled.
