Sealskin. capes are favored in elbow and

tail ornaments and fiaring collars.
A cape coming we'll around the hips IS
almost too long to be called smart. but
not too much so for comfort, as the
shorter capes flare so much that they
certainly allow the cold air under their
folds. This especial cape is made up with
a high, square collar and long, tapering
revers of a contrasting fur-seal, otter,
blue fox. ermine or chinchilla.

Sable is used for a collarette that is

tails falling from it, SO as TO completely

Another pretty affair in stone marten
has a flared collar-the prominent feature
of collarettes-with a double layer of tails
in front hanging to the waist fine, and on
each side of these falling loops of the fur
edged with claws. A fancy muff for this
has the gathered ends, and over the CEN
tire a cluster of loops, tails and claws.

Fox skins, which were beginning 10
take the place of sable skins for neck
wraps last winter, are likely to reach the
height of fashion and popularity this sea-
son. French and Russian furriers have
laid in large stocks of fox skins of all
~colors-black, white, silver and ~gray-while
more ordinary skins artificially colored
nave been largely imported by British
firms, thus bringing the. articles within
the reach of all.
The best sable cravats are made Of two
skins, and round capes are often made
up of sable skins sewn lengthwise, The
tails forming a fringe. A very elegant
arrangement for a pelerine consists in us

yoke-shaped piece of velvet. baby lamb or
sealskin, two heads meeting in front and
two at the back, the respective tails
hanging in tassels from the shoulders.
Opossum and badger skins are also util-
lied in different ways. Among others, for
muffs of the larger size not too thickly
wadded, so as to fall like half-flled saddle
bags.
Smaller NUTS have the cylindrical form
well defined, the smartest having shaped
frills made of double fur at the extremi-
ties and further filed in about the OPEN
ing with ruchings Of lace.
Combinations of fur and plumage are
on exhibition here and there. Muffs with
a band of breast plumage between two
bands of fur surmounted by an arrange
ment of wings or a bird, and pelerines
edged with fur, the yoke covered with
plumage.
Ermine continues in favor as a trim
ming and also for making collars. One
style consists of a Medici collar mounted
on a straight double band or cravat of
fur, the two ends of which pass through
a handsome bracelet set with simili
stones, and hang down in front nearly to
the waist.
Yokes of ermine or white baby-la1nb
are used to mount deep frillings of sable
or skunk for pelerines. the skin being
often embroidered in a~rabesques with sill
yer or steel thread.
As a trimming for evening cloaks,
white lamb divides favor with white fox,
preference being given to them over
white Monaghan, which is chiefly resery-
ed for boas.
The round marten boas have disappear
ed completely. but narrow martsn collars
of one fiat skin. with a high faring neck
collar, will be very popular. Around the
neck is a row of marten tails, with long
ends. The front parts of the collar end
with two marten heads, from under the
pointed shoots" of which issue two long,
round boa ends. from 20 to "a inches
long. The muff is plain, having only a
marten head upon the front side.
Another marten garniture is entirely in
the style of the neck ruches so well Tx
ed last summer. An eight-inch marten
band is gathered around the neck like
a ruche; it ends with a huge bow of fiat
marten band; the centre of the bow Is
ornamented by a square clasp of steel
beads, through which a heavily pleated
green velvet ribbon is drawn. At the
ends of the bow are four small tails. In
evidence are also fur r11ches made on
