Paris. Nov 7.
II would certainly seem that fur garments have
never been so lovely they are this season; have
never displayed such originality combined with
good taste. The fur garment OF the present mo-
ment Is a luxurious and elaborate analr. ntted
with the care used IN tailor-made suit and pos
sessing as much individuality as an evening cos
tune while certainly no evening or house costume
could be moro becoming. There are innuneraolo
models for "cols and "collets" Although 1t seems
each week as II combinations Of furs. velvet and
lace must be exhausted. tho following week only
shows more new creations in this linc as beauti-
full as those that had already appeared Especially
in short capes. the supply Of novelties seems in
exhaustibe.
smart collet Is Of caracal trimmed with chin
chia- The cape Is circular in shape with circular
double breasted front. The chinchilla forms the
high ruffled collar and makes six-inch band that
edges the bottom and the circular double-breasted
front The muf is OF chinchilla with large
rufle Of caracal each side. thus reversing the
prominence Of the fur.
A cape Of sable is cut into wide scollops about
the bottom and finished by deep aounce Of ecru
lace mounted over a rutiled foundation OF green
satin. The whole garment is lined with green and
reaches to O trifie below the waist On the shoul-
ders are epauettes of fur. fastening on the bust
with sable head and low Of green velvet. From
under these fell a bunch OF sable tails The high
ruche Of yellow lace Hook and eye are cleverly
hidden In tho two sable heads that fasten the
garment under the chin.
cape Of seal. trimmed with errlino. Is cut to
fall in quaint fashion fatty over the shoulders.
The collar IS oddly enough. straight band Of
SEAL fastening under the chin with an immense
bow Of ermine. cravat fashion. The ends Of the
cravat apparently form jabot-like revers down the
front Of the garment and make narrow border
about the bottom. The mur Is not large. and is
made Of the ermne.
A luxurious cape Of Russian sable Is cut to bare
ly reach the waist line. but with broad stole ends
in front falling to the hora OF the skirt A yoke Is
outlined by deep fringe of sable tails that
the body of the garment The collar is very high
and much ruffled In the back. Tho lining is Of
yellow satin. which adds pretty effect, as the
stole ends blow about in walking.
The idea of ornament.ng a cape the bust IS
novel and appears several new garments. One
of black Persian lamb Is slashed In front to the
bust to admit Of ruffie Of green velvet. Tho
slashings headed by large knots OF velvet
passed through strass buckles The choker Is cut
into points that roll over. showing a facing Of
green. Under the chin is bow of the black fur.
lined with velvet and closed with brilliant orna-
ments.
A dressy collet Is of purple velvet lined with
caracal. The velvet is covered By an appliqued
embroidery OF yellow lace figures. The collar is q
huge ruffie Of velvet inclosing Of lace that
forms jabots down the front of the garment. Short
ostrich tips arranged IN clusters about the
collar. The mun is large butterfly Of the velvet.
