The question of warmth must be considered from every point of view, and plenty of suitable clothing is absolutely essential. A warm gown should be adopted, made of a material that will not catch the dust, and it is also important to wear warm clothing under the gown; for unless such jerseys and bodices are worn, the wind penetrates, and it is quite impossible to avoid feeling chilled during a long day. The fatigue which is inseparable from many hours in the open air, and is also intensified by the rapid speed at which one travels, becomes greater as the day passes; with the increase of that fatigue a feeling of cold arises, so that unless a sufficient amount of warm clothing is worn the sense of exhaustion becomes very trying.

The best material for excluding the cold is leather, kid, or chamois leather; the latter may be recommended for lining the coat, and kid for the outside covering. This has, however, the disadvantage of being heavy and stiff, while chamois leather is softer and gives the figure more laxity. A coat lined with chamois leather and fur is the most successful of any, and the outside cover can be made in any pretty waterproof material.

The best coats that I have seen for motor-car driving are some which come from Vienna, and are both cheap and comfortable. The fur employed for the lining is opossum, which is both light and thick; they are to be had of any length, they button up the front, are double-breasted, and have two warm pockets placed crossways in front. The coat of which an illustration is given is excellent for the purpose, but it is more elaborate. It has, however, the leather waistcoat or undercoat attached to it, and is extremely comfortable. It can be made in any cloth or material. It has heavy fur which, while it looks smart, is a sure means of catching and retaining dust, and the great object to be aimed at in motor travelling is to find something which will not collect dust, for if coats, rugs, &c. get dusty it is almost impossible to get rid of it.
