Plaid And Tweed Favorites Skirts make nice gifts, if the giver knows the correct size and preferre~d style. Plaid and tweed skirts are this season's favorite. An unusual com- bination is pink and green plaid. This skirt has box pleats. 'Then there are plaids which are fondly called horse blanket plaids. A shirt of this type comes in turkey red and bright green. A dashing skirt of brown, beige, and rust plaid will lighten a dull win- ter day. A green and black plaid skirt is also a gay addition to any- one's wardrobe, and would not showy the spots. Grey, yellow, and white are combined effectively in a plaid skirt with narrow stripes of -ea~ch color. This season has produced many striking color combinations, and in keeping with that idea is a black a.nl green plaid skirt with pleats around the entire skirt and. a blue band 1 ing horizontally on the skirt. Then t:'e is a turquoise and brown plaid skirt with a narrow green line which w ould go nicely with 'a brown or yellow sweater. New Ski Sutits Are Adaptable I To Manty Uses Even the southern girls will be requesting ski suits in their figura- tive Christmas stockings this sea- son. Adaptable, comfortable, attrac- tive, and suitable are all adjectives of veracity when applied to the var- ied versions of this type garment. Particularly in the swing of the original purpose of the ski suit are are light clover cloth models of na- tural hue. Although extremenly fea- thery in weight, the warmth these provide is all out of proportion to their seeming thinness of texture. Easy to manipulate along with a pair of skis, or skates, or horses hitched to cutters, .the loosely draped clover cloth styles facilitate freedom of action. The natural color -lends itself to splashes of violent accessories, red, green, bright blue, or canary yellow. With an assortment of hats, scarves, mittens, and :socks, one outfit can be changed to four or five. Hooded models, in keeping with the season's covered hair tendencies, are definitely in the front ranks. Although the attached head-pieces are not quite as comfortable as sep- arate ?pelmets, their soft warm inner- linings keep the ears a shade of pink instead of a frost-bitten-red. Usually of material matching the ski suit proper, they are sometimes made to contrast with a navy or brown outfit. Ann\ 1k l J! l: -'4. 0 . $(i~ A .. K .. Ka.. l'.: Wl ' W{.. .. "ash/ ..rte ..
