! NEW YORK, Nov. 5-You can get your
fur now in ali the oolors Of the rainbow.
i The Monaghan criukIed fur is dyed in all
shades, and II you caluot nd tn color you
/ want. just order it. The poor AMI nal whose
coa- has been ruthlessly taken from him
( never canned, war ant You, that he
would come TO tbs; that his spotless white
| coat would flame forth in burnc gold, would
/ flush delicate pink, wouli chan 20 into a
/ dull blue touched with yellow, or would
turn green with envy of tue other extraor-
binary shades. Yet SO it is; m. ST Of the
pretty, light opera cloaks ami nantes are
trimmed with che Monaghan, and scarcely
one in pure white; all the fur tips sha lie off
into some foreign color. One beautiful
white brocade mad border of fur shading
into deepest salmon color, and silk lining
Of the same shade.
ma tie of bright channels colored fuzzy
cl tn had this same fur shading from the
chamois shade into dull blue; the back Of
tie wrap was draped, falling IN long, grace
| full lines from under a collar piece of fur
that reached into g point almost to the
| walsy line; in the front the fur fell in a
| bow Co the feet. The garment was lined
| with pale clue satin.
also saw a coat for ordinary everyday
wear, which is no common sight just at this
| reckless season of the year. vs. hen all the
winter exUravagances first appear 1t was
Of heavy mixed gray, a pretty, light gray,
| and had two small box plaits down
| each side Of the front and the back:
was velveted in very loosely and fast
| ehed with little gray fur beads. The wide
sleeves had two heals piece, and the gray
astrekhan collar, with deep pointed yoke,
terminated in heads also. Such plain winter
| coats as have come out thus far are belted
| for the most part, though so loosely that
one wonders why the girdle is put around
| A splendid garment for fall climbing or
country ira nping is of extremely heavy
! brown chevlot, made also In OK plaits.
| and has a full hood lined with dark tan silk;
| the hood ties in front with heavy cords that
| have tan cOlored leather tassels hanging
from them The garment. falling to the
feet, is confined by a broad lea her belt.
A mantle that has quiet, sensible look
! about 1t that is most pleasing is made of
! dark sage cloth, has large square woke of
rich black pssse enterie In the back as we'll
as the front, and deep black fringe all
around.
W hat plaids are being worn are larger
than ever. One square of them would be
| almost enough to cover the back OF a sen-
der bodice, which may give you some idea
| OF their size. Beware of the large plaid,
| however, unless you are we'll acquainted
with yourself and know just what suits
you.
1t ia safer to combine with a plain color.
| For instance, a gown just finished is of fine
dark blue cloth and has a short empire
| bodice OF orange bengaline and plaid velvet
in the brightest of Scotch colors. The silk
front is in the orange, the bodice III fine
folds of the plain velvet, laid diagonally.
The sleeves are plain dark blue The dress
is very bright and still very pretty.
Do royal purple and pale blue as a com-
bination please youg Do you think them
pretty laid side by sidel NOT And yet they
they are quite the thing, aud have been for
the past week. o, well, tastes differ, you
say. True; and equally true is it that there
Is standard of taste in all things. And
what Pm anxious TO know is whether royal
purple aud pale blue make a pretty COM
bine, according to this same taste standard
Does any one know? But perhaps you can
rest content with being assured that for
a brief week or so, at any rate, these two
colors are the fRvorites. How long they
will remain so is unknow Last week
magenta reigned: the week before-let me
see, was it blue, or brown, or scarletl All
of these have mad their day, as well as few
more. But if you are wise, my fair reader,
you will not indulge in any of the queer 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 striking color
Take any of the rich greens or browns or
mixed dull colors and you will be far more
pleased in the end.
But to return to my purple, saw 1t in
magnificent velvet, with Just touch of
pale blue satin at the throat. l saw it in q
queer gown, where it played less promt-
nent part forming the groundwork of the
material. 1t was almost hidden by big
wooden dots, just like seeds, In orange; the
purple came out very dark, in a velvet box
plait at the edge of the skirt, and in plain
round yoke at the neck; the sleeves were
purple elvet also. A full ruffle Of the dress
bodice proper was pulled into purple veil
vet belt, giving 1t very youthful effect, in
spite of the glowing coloring.
saw pale turquoise blue very becom-
ingly combined with purple violets in a
tiny toque. The toque had lace edge
falling over white feather trimming In
front, and a full velvet crown turquoise
Al the back were small white plume violet
shading from pale lavender into dark pur-
pie, and velvet strings to match the deepest
shade in the violets.
Such pretty gown walked into a theater
box the other afternoon and seated itself
with the complaceucy born Of The conscious
ness Of being perfectly made. 1t was of a
dull hehotro shade, all hected with tiny
gold dots, and tina heliotrope thread was
shot with pale sage The dress had full
front of gold-colored bengaline, falling in
cascades, and over it on lch side more soft
falls of sage velvet. Wide bands Of sage
velvet ran Jwn the side of the skirt. and
all around Its edge, headed by three bands
Of narrow gold d sage passementerie. A
little twist Of yellow silk was put at the
base OF the sage collar, dropping care
lessly at the back of the neck
and from the loose sage belt came two
bands of the velvet, widening as they neared
J the back, and falling when they met there,
in a long loose drapery over the train.
Do you know the names OF the different
kinds Of collsrs2 There's the empire, you
know, and the Mephl,to, and the Marie
Louise These are the most fashionable.
Some very pretty onss can be made to
brighten up an old garment that needs
something TO fresEen il. A pretty empire
collar is made of wide lace scaloped at each
side, caught down all around the neck by
rose-col0red ribbon knotted loosely at inter
walls; from each of the knots starts small
pink plume, each one standing up very
straight. 1t narrows at the front and
closes in pretty V.
The Marie Louise has Medici collar over
