The colder temperature of winter demands 0 greater output of heat energy irotn our tissues to keep the human bode' warm than is required during summer days. We increase our clothing there - tore to diminish our heat loss from the skin surface. After' the wan,,iblt of a 'ballroom, people must wrap them- selves well up before going; out into the night air.
