 Newnarkats of seal fur are the lead ing street garments where lorg coat is desired, but there are seal jackets in variety as to shape, the most stylish be- ing the Duchess. Lenox or Reefer. Caps will likewise continue to be worn during the winter because this season half sleres of fur to correspond are brought cut to protect the arms, thus obviating the objection hitherto held good against these extremely popular addi- tions to the wardrobe. Dsmi-long seal scques are Bow fashionable again and afford choice for those who object to @ short jacket or long coat as we'll. For evening, short wraps of ermine are quite elegan. and come we'll over the arms, having the advantage of being easily slipped on and off. Muffs remain small and without trimming and while long boas of fluffy fur are sold, yet small ones of otter coming close with the ani- mals head in front are newer. The
 KINDS OF FUR
 most fashionable are sealskin, mink, Persian lamb, Stone Marten, Hudson Bay sable, Alaska sable, otter, Astrach an, beaver, mink talls, monkey or black lynx, with a modicum of ermine for evening. as also Mandarin, the new white fluffy fur whlch 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, thei first consideration is reliability, and one ahould always deal with an established house such as fer example, that of c. c. Shayne, of Prince street, whose branch establishment at l24 West And street, is such marked success. Catalogue will be forwarded and information readily given to out of town enquirers.
 EOUSSELINE DE soIE
 embroidered is the leading thin material presented for evening wear this winter, No language can do justice to the va riety and beauty of patterns done in silk or silver, or gilt threads, chiefly the last named which sometimes glitters over the surface without admixture or more frequently comes ln as an adjunct to sllken work. Designs usually commence m rich work at the bottom of skirts and from thence, taper with more or less dellcacy to the waist, but as Q change come patters that show large flowers or sprays at intervals. Surface are usually black or white in order to show of the work and the handsome effect of gilt on black may be imagined. A proportion of dresses are of fine Brussels net but mousseline de soie is distinctly the lead ing fabric.
 NoTER AND ANSWERS.
 Mcusssline de soie handkerchiefs em broidered are a rage, but are usually moro for ornament than use and placed in corsage with the colored ends left visible, give a becoming finish. They are alec shown ready caught up in as- sortments of lingerie and do duty in place of jabots.
 Mrs. V" The Henri Dsux rucbing is copied from old pictures and is ex- eremely full about the neck, coming in white or all colors of lisse for indoors and in black for the street where, how ever, a circlet of cocks or ostrich feathers is better for winter wear.
 "Ellen R" High tuck combs are fashionable and ladies who have heir looms, the enormous combs of years ago, are having them cut in two, each half making rich comb for to-day.
 Young Lady" Long boas of cocks or ostrich plumage are more fashion able than of fur and prices run from s15 to s6l, the last named for ostrich feathers of best quality.
