New York. Jan. IA, 1897.-How pref
ty the women look nowadays. y
few years ago a fur collar, or a fur
muff meant that and nothing else.
But now! Now the fur of the collar
has its beauty enhanced by loops OF
ribl on, jabots Of lace, or most magnli-
cent ieWeled or enameled clasps; Whlle
well, no brown ribbon is used upon II
by which TO swing it about the neck OF
beauty, but, instead, there IS gold
chain for this purpose, and oftener IL
is a gold chain threaded with pearls, or
emeralds, or sapphires, or, best or all,
diamonds. Then the mutf itself IS
lined, not with a dull dark satin, that
means destruction to dainty WHITE

lining of rich, light brocade, while
about the sides are full frills OF line
lace; on top is many Topped bow or
ribbon. and. sometimes, the head OF
silver fox, sometimes a minks head,
sometimes a few sable tails, or what
ever is in harmony with the fur itself,
and forms the greatest contrast to the
other garnitures. People talk about
the
LONG CHAINS FOR MUFFS,
and for the half of hundred other
things for which they may be used-
the watch, the purse, the Vlnalgrette
or the lorgnette-as being new, but, II
ANYBODY will take the trouble to look
at some of the photographs OF Iltlah
ladies. it will be seen that about their
necks are these very long chains.
Then. too. the Italian ladies have worn
them for centuries, it being counted
great virtue to have ones chain made
after some famous design fancied by
Venetian beauty of long ago. Dress
ing was never more beautiful than
now. and there never was time when
greater thought was given to the small
belongings that really go to make or
mar a toilette. Brooches are utilized
in every way. A rich enamelled one
fastens a knot of ribbon on a bonnet;
two. set with sapphires, are arranged
like buttons on the front of a bodice;
while another, a turquoise framed IN
diamonds, fastens the feather aigrette,
that ,.

Next to the great advantage of
possessing beautiful jewels comes the
ability to utilize them with original
