you cannot find the color you want jast
order it. The poor animal whose coat
has been ruthlessly taken from him,
never dreamed, 1 warrant you, that he
would come to this; that his spotless
white coat would fl ina forth in burnt
gold, would flush a delicate pink. would
change into a dull blue touched with
yellow, or would turn green with envy of
the other extraordinary shades. Yet so
it is; most of the pretty, light opera
cloaks and mantles are trimmed with
the Monaghan, and scarcely one In
pure white; all the fur tips shade off into
foreign color. One beautiful white bro
cade had a border of fur shading into
deepest salmon color, and a silk lining of
the same shade.
A mantle OF bright chamois colored
fuzzy cloth had this same fur shading
from the channels shade into dull blue;
the back of the wrap was draped, falling
In long. graceful lines from under a color
piece OF 1ur that reached into a point
almost to the waist line; in the front the
fur fell in u boa to the feet. The garment
was lined with pale blue satin.

wear. Which is no common sight just at
this reckless season of the year, when all
the winter e-xtravagances first appear. 1t

each side of the front and the back; was
belted in very loosely and Fastened with
little gray fur beads. The wide sleeves
had two heads apiece, and the gray
astrakhan collar with deep pointed
yoke, terminatedin heads also. Such plain
winter coats as have come out thus far
are belied for the most part. though
so loosely, that one wonders why the Cir

colored leather tasseis hanging from
them. The garment falling to the feet

WINTER PLAIDS.
What plaids are being worn are larger
h ever. One square of them would be
almost enough to cover the back of a
slender bodice. which may give you
some idea of their size. Beware of the
large plaid, however, unless you are well

What suits you.
1t is safer to combine it with a plain
icolor. For instance. u gown just finished

plaid velvet in the brightest of Scotch
colors. The silk front is in the orange.
the bodice in me folds or the plaid velvet,
laid N~diagonally. The sleeves are plain
DARK blue. The dress is very bright and
still very pretty.
PUPPIES AND BLUES.
Does anyone know? But perhaps you
can rest content with being assured that
for a brief week or so, at any rate, purple
and blue are the favorite colors. How
long they will remain so is unknown.
Last week magenta reigned; the
week before-le5 me see. was 1t
blue. or brown, or scarlet? All OF
these have had their day, as well as a
few more. But if you are wise,
or indescribable shades that come or go in
the world of fashion. For unless your
Winter outfit includes gowns in large
number, you will soon grow very tired
of a striking color. Take any of the
rich green's or browns or mixed dull
%colors, and you will be far more pleased in
the end.
But to return to my purple. / saw it In
magnificent velvet. with just a touch of
pale blue satin at the throat. | saw it IN
a queer gown where IL played a less
prominent Dart, forming the ground work
of the material; i5 was almost hidden by
big wooden dots. just like seeds, in
orange; the purple came out very dark in
q velvet box plaiG at the edge of the skirt,
and in a plain round yoke at the neck: the
sleeves were purple velvet also. A full
rufde of the dress material went around
the yoke, and the bodice proper was
pulled into a purple velvet belt giving it
a very youthful effect. in spite of the
glowing coloring.

1Dgly combined with purple violets in q
tiny toque. The toque had a lace edge,
falling over white feather trimming il
front, and a full velvet crown in turquoise.
AT the back were small white p1umes,
violets shading from pale lavender into
dark purple and velvet strings to match
the deepest shade in the violets. Such 9
pretty gown walked into the theatre box
the other afternoon u seated itself with
the competency born OF the consciousness
Of being perfectly made. 1t was of a dull
helIotrope shade, all fiecked with tiny
gold dots. and the hellotrope thread was
shot with pale sage. The dress had a full
front of gold-colored bengaIine, falling in
cascades. aud over it on each side more
soft falls of sage velvet. Wide bands OF
sage velvet ran down the sides of the
skirt, and all around its edge, headed by
Three bands of narrow gold aud sage pas
sementerie. A little twist of yellow silk
was put at the base Of the sage collar,
dropping carelessly at the back of the
neck, and from the loose sage belt came
two bands of the velvet. widening as they
neared the back and falling when they
met there; in d long, loose drapery over
the train.
FUR COLLARS.
