FEATHER TRIMMINGS
have been very much used through the
autumn months upon small NANTES for
between seasons. With the approach OF
colder weather fur will come Iuto play and
already 1t occupies conspicuous place
IN the show rooms of the great Outtitters.
| The fur trade. however, as business Tor
retail dealers, is not at all what il was
| formerly. "SetS' of iurs have almost
disappeared. Few collars or capes are
called for. and the large fur cloaks--
| though so costly-are a deluslon and a
snare; only endurable in the coolest
weather, and requiring to be supple
mented by other wraps better fitted for
general wear.
Fur trimmings, on the contrary, are
practical and may De cheap or costly, ac-
cording TO the limits OF the pocketbOok.
They are adapted and can be readily un-
llzed byintelligent even though unframed
fingers.
A cloth dress jacket and muff needs
| only bordering OF lur to give it a look of
comfort and even distinction, which can
not be so easily o. ineXpensively Obtained
by any other means. A plain ulster, if it
is we'll cut and edged with fur, becomes
a stylish garment, and with mutt N ade to
match or matching the fur, will tell no
tales Of the small sum out OF which it has
perhaps been obtained.
The long haired furs-fox, lynx, bear,
called Labrador and the like--are pre-
ferred to smooth skins, except beaver and
the silky otter; the latter, however, is
| more used for men than women, gentle
men, apparently, liking the soft warmth
of The high, otter collar which hugs them
close about the throat. Beaver ia per-
haps favorite on account of its softness
and pretty gray tint. 1t is especially be-
coming to, and is favorite with, young
girls; and the red. or dark gray blue,
cloth suit, with narrow edge Of beaver
fur and complete beaver muff and cap,
are among the prettest costumes OF the
season. The buttons. it may be remarked.
represent small old silver coins, and if
the wearer wants to add the latest touch
to her street outfit she will add dark,
red, leather pocketbOok, mounted with
old silver.
Ladies who like fox flrs-and there are
none more elegant or effective-should be
careful to adapt the kind to the material
and color with which it is to be united.
1t is common thing to say that some
special fur is the fashion, as silver fox
for example. Silver fox is the most eX-
pensiye kind of fox fur, but it does not
look well on brown cloth or velvet, and
not at all so we'll on dark shades of red as
gray" fox, which has yellow in 1t; or
beaver, which Is in soft shades of gray
and brown
Among the prettiest novelties in furs
are lOng-haired boas, in light, yellOwish,
fox lurs, with muff to match. The long,
silky, yet fluffy hair, is the most luxuri-
Ous-lOoking thing imaginable and the
most becoming, as it lays up against the
throat and falls from it upon dark, wine
cOlored cloth or velvet. Black lynx is
perhaps the most beautiful OF the black
furs, when it ia genuine; but the genuine
furs are always high priced. The dyed
limitations pass with the ignorant. They
are necessity with some who know, but
cannot afford, the best; and they rid us of
some household pests who thus make mp
in death for the mischief they make in
life.
CLOAKS AND WRAPS.
The choice in cloaks this season lies
between the very large and the very small:
they either epvelop the entire person or
only reach little below the waist line.
Neither of these styles can be considered
youthful, and they are not looked upon
with favor by girls who still occupy the
border land between youth and woman
hood. The favorfte garment for these is
a short-titted coat with breast pockets,
lappels cut even with the front and sides,
and eighty double-breasted. The favor
ite color is soft, fawu shade OF brown:
the finish stitching and straight, high COL
lar aun cuffs Of beaver fur. A border OF
beaver also follows the semI-diagonal
down the front. The buttons may be
smoked pearl, grained wood or eads in
old silver. The interior edges are faced
with silk, but the cloth is furred on the
reverse side and requires no lining.
Ladies who select a pattern and make
I'D their own wraps should be careful to
adapt IL to the figure. A tall person will
find that a model not too short in the back
aud with long ends IN front Will suit ner
far better than a bijou design, which may
suit admirably some small delicate minia-
ture OF woman.
Yellow aud brown furnish tue keynote
TO the colors of the season; yellow enter
ing more or less into all mixtures of color,
and often supplying the motive for COM
plete toilets. Tobacco LrOwn. mahogany
brown, copper brown and the whole range
OF red brO Il ms, unite with shades or lines
OF yellow, much better than the coal leaf
or wood browns, wnich OF late are asso-
ciated with old blue instead OF forest
green as formerly.
1t was Worth who first combined the
green and brown tones in modern fabrics
and costumes. and HIS the study was made
from nature, it was great success. Blue
and brown are not bad when the con-
junction lie happy one, put they cannot
be relied upon and are not capable OF so
many changes and variations.
The popularity OF long, Swede gloves in
delicate ttnts OF yellow and ecru, is a re-
minder OF the fact, which il may be in
teresting for some ladies 10 know, that
they do not clean successfully. The only
way 10 make them last a reasonable
length OF time ana preserve a re-
spectacle appearance Is 10 dip a
piece Of white flannel in milk,
then rub IL on white CASTLE. soap and
with this little preparation remove spot
As soon as IL makes Its appearauce--whiie
the glove il upon the hand. Cleaned
gloves are looked upon with horror. by
some iastidtOus persons, but those who
must wear them dirty. II they do not keep
them clean, will forgive the hint.
