The Winter Tashions.

Ladies complain that this winter fashion

affected Eugene wears nothing but Rus.
sian sables. MINK fur is just d warn, 90
is HudsoD's Bay sable. Eugenie, having an
unlimitedly large bank book, sports Russian
sables For this reason every fashion plsts
showed q series of rabbit-chinned women,
with mouths two sizes smaller than thsir
eyes, all clad in the same costly mufks, v;s-
torines and talmas. While no two ars hsb-
tied in tho same style Of garment, ooiuoi-
deuce in furs is perlsct. This botheu the

expensive kinds, sported the frosted beaver
and the limitations. Eugepis is coaksd in
velvet to her very heels For this reason

windows ofthe cl1akeries, are patterned sfter

1t is bad enough, but the song carries .
chorus in the shape of trimming. The
mode indicates ricn lace. Nothing ike
sham will answer. The gracefully rounded
shoulders that support the velvet cloak
must be bordored With guipure to corrss-
pond. A yard of this article, four inches
wide, leaves the change from q ten dollar
note scarce worth considsration., Rich silk
must line the garment, and Altogether its
cost IS at least twice that of the handsomsst
overcoat seen in Chestnut street. We look
