Ne,r York Tribune.
Ladies who have had the courage to
lake care of certain furs that have long
been nearly forgotten will be glad to
hear that the handsome, Jet-blacS AS
trachan, Persian, and Krimmer furs are
suddenly restored to favor. The SOFT,
shOrt-tufted, and lustrOus black Astra-
chan lambskin has for years been the
national coat in Hungary. IL is link
between fur and wool. The Persian
lambskins are known by their tight little
curls, made so by tying the infant lamb
kin in a very tight wrapper, which has
the effect OfcOmpressing the sOft young
curls rs perfectly rs curl-papers, and 1t
never loses the glossy wave. The krlm-
mer is known by its gray shadings and
curly fleece. These furs are shown IN
the shape of capes, collars, pelerines,
chasubles, sacques, and nuits, ana
trimmings for cloth and fur.
1 One of the latest fashions in fur The |
chasuble-a square collar that reaches
nearly 10 the waist behind. 1t Is rather
in the shape Of scarf, and put on over
the head; Is fastened in front quite to
the waist, and desCends in one piece,
closed and square nearly to the edge OF
the dress. In convenient place there
is arranged . flat mufE There Is alsoa |
pocket, easily found by the owner, but
invisible Outwardly. The chasuble Is
made up of the black Persian lamb,
sea-Otter, black marten, and beaver.
The soft and lovely OtteT-skin is I'M
mensely priced, especially that OF the
Sea-Otter.
The pelerines of last season have re-
turned again, reaching the waist and
nearly covering the arms. These are
shown in natural beaver, sealskin, Per
sian lamb, and black fox. A little round
muff accompanies the pelerine, and ill.,
deed most of the fur-wraps. There are
independent muffs, made of very costly |
furs, such as sea-otter, silver fox, or
the black necks of the silver fox, AID
spotted leopard-skins These are in
keeping with the elegant street-toiletS
when no other furs are used. Little |
Russian fur-collars and mutfs are seen
worn with costume also trimmed with
corresponding fur.
Coquettish and very becoming large
hats of sealskin are profusely trimmed
with bright plumagedb Orautumn-
hued ostrich plumes in richest ooloring;
nor are turban caps abandOned,, but Will
be exceedingly popular. There are also
hoods, suggestive of warmth and COM
fort, made of sealskin, BLACK Persian,
and chinChilla.
The comfortable circular fur-lined
silk cloak is held in high esteem.
Naturally there are many grades of this
useful garment. The highest is seen
made of plain, handsome silk, lined
with the cOstliest of furs, such as the
royal sable, seal, chinchilla, the blue
iennet, the Weisenfels (made from the
white parts of squirrels), or the black
AstraUlan lamb. Other far less costly
cloaks are lined with the gray squlrrel
or mixed squirrel skins, and are equally
comfortable.
More expensive still are the. later
STYLES, composed of superb embossed
velvet, satin-brocade, pushes, or thick
satin. These have sleeves either square
or large coat-shaped, and are expensive
ly lined, sometimes bordered with some
costly fur, and collar is added Very
elaborate wraps have q circular-shape,
with openings instead of sleeves for the
arms. These are made of very costly
fabrics, and are profusely trimmed.
The fashion is not abandoned of lining
these wraps with bright-colored quilted
silks or satin instead Of fur. There are
other STYLES having the same lining, in
the shape Of redingotes, a pelisse, or
long, elosely-fitting coat, made of cloth,
or velvet, or the nonpareil velveteen.
These are frequently trimmed with
some dark or black fur in narrow bands,
and q collar and mutftO correspond, or

| Persian lambskin.
Seal sacques are more than ever pop
ular, and are less in size and shape~ln
| thc latter instance following the waist a
| little more closely. There are no outts
! attached to the close sleeves, and they
are made double breasted. The unini-
| tiated must remember that, like the
| nan of velvet and yelveteen, the fleece
| of this beautiful fur i'll the made gar
ment invariably runs upward and must
never have downward caress or brush.
The sealskin cloaks are made much
shorter than those Of last year, expert
ence teaching that of all furS seal Is the
very last to bear ill-treatment, and one
cannot always stand. They take on
| more ola close Princess shape, and have
sleeves to suit the general style OF the

cuffs or bands on the edge of the sleeves,
and frequently an entire trimming OF

fox. or soft gray chinchilla. Either OF
the two varieties of chinchilla make el-
ecant borierings-the pretty Bolivia
