the few that have been imported are worth

For a good servlceable, simple and
tasteful muff there is nothing better than
a big fellow of densely brown or gray cub

Alaska sable, in reticule or melon shape,
are to be as extensively used as ever.
A very pretty and novel fur trimmed
muff is made in the double reticule shape,
of cloth, with the fur applied in any way
desired. To make one of these a long,

There really is nothing that has not been
told over and over again to tell now about
the application of fur as dress trimming.
Bands and bindings of mink or broadtail
crop out, in accepted style, on handsome
cloth and velvet costumes though in Paris
they do cut from broadtail some very
lovely conventionalized patterns of fruit
and flowers. and applique them on velvet.
Short of trimming a gown with pure gold
leaf there is scarcely any decoration more
extravagant than this, or any more richly
beautiful.
