FUR GARMENTS; KINDS OF FUR; EVEN
ING MATERIALS; NOTES AND ANSWERS.
Newmarkets of seal fur are the lead
ing street garment where long coat is
desired but there are seal jackets in
variety as to shape. the most stylish
being the Duchess, Lenox or Refer.
Capes will likewise continue to be worn
during the winter because this season
half sleeves of fur to correspond are
brought out to protect the arms, thus
ooviating the objection hitherto held
good against these extremely popular
additions TO the wardrobe. Demi-long
seal saques are now fashionable again
and afford choice for those who object
to a short jacket or a long coat as
well. For evening. short wraps of
ermine are quite elegant and come we'll
over the arms, having the advantage of
being easily slipped on and off. Mufs
remain small and without trimming and
while long boas of fluffy fur are sold,
yet small ones of otter coming close with
the animals head in front, are newer.
The
KINDS OF FUR
most fashionable are sealskin, mink,
Persian lamb, stone marten, Hudson
Bay sable, Alaskan sable, otter,
astrachan, beaver. mink tail, monkey or
black lynx, with modIcum of ermine
for evening as also mandarin, The new
white fluffy fur which like ermine is
used for evening or as lining for opera
cloaks. Russian sable of course ranks
highest of all but is worn only by the
wealthy. In buying furs. the first con-
sideration is the reliability and one
should always deal with an established
house such, as for example, that of c. C.
ShayDe of 10S Prince ST., whose branch
establishment at 124 West AID St, is
sucha marked success. Catalogue will
be forwarded and information readily
given to out of town inquirers.
MoUssELINE DE SOLE
embroidered is the leading thin ma
terial presented for evening wear this
winter. No language can do Justice to
the variety and beauty of patterns done
in silk, silver or gilt threads, chiefly
the last named which sometimes glitters
over the surface without admixture or
more frequently comes in as an adjunct
to silken work. Designs usually COM
mence in rich work at the bottom of
skirts and from thence, taper with more
or less delicacy to the waist, but as
change come patterns that show large
flowers or sprays at intervals. Sur
faces are usually black or white in
order to show off the work and the
handsome effect of gilt on black may be
imagined. A proportion of dresses are
of fine brussels net but moassel,ne de
So:e is distinctly the leading fabric.
