vet and very large rOsette of the same
in front, with two amber pins and an
orange cOlored paradise plume. The
way the brim is fastened up is where
the principal novelty lies. The same
design was carried out with another
scheme of color, ruby and white, in
stead of blue and yellow.
The polichinello hat is a favorite with
young folks whose locks have not been
clipped by Father Time. There are
felts, beavers and velvets in this shape
and others made simply Of silver span
giles overlapping on a frame. There is
also a sort of lace made of dead fine
wire, and this is in steel and gilt. The
steel is sewed with gilt spangles and
vice verEa. This is then used for crowns
or brims Of bonnets and hats and is
very effective. There was a model po-
1ichinello of steel lace with waved lines
of gilt spangles, crown and all. A roll
of emerald velvet enciEoIed the crown
and three plumes of the same color min
gled with white finished the front. An
immense emerald and rhinestone pin
was set above the forehead.
A capote of silver and gilt lace had
three pink and white shaded plumes
and two gray pearl pins. A small bow
of cherry velvet ribbon adorned the
back. There were no strings.
The fat round felts are more becom-
ing to some faces than any other shape.
For such is a very dressy hat of dark
brown felt The edge is piped with
three rows of velvet, one brown, one
orange and one straw color. In front is
a large rosette of maize silk null, back
ed by three plumes, one long and full
in maize color, the others in darker
shades Of brown. Under the brim in
the back is a bunch of shaded brown to
yellow velvet primroses. A pretty run
about hat is of black beaver felt, turned
up high at the right side and having
drapery of green and black, topped with
three fine tips, mingled green and black.
The whole is finished by full rosette
at the right side. This is a jaunty and
very fetching hat.
The fur garments are now in their
zenith as far as selling goes. They will
not be worn so very much until after
the LIST of November or even until
Thanksgiving, as women must first air
all their tailor suits. and they are not
made to wear with furs. Brown and
black furs are the most fashionable,
though there will be some demand for
sian lamb and astrakhan MORE are the
favoritea. Chinohilla is principally seen
as bands and borderings Ermine and
grebe are mostly seen as decorations to
evening costumes and wraps.
There are blouse jackets of seal and
Persian lamb and half length coates in
both these furs. The short capes and
victorines and nancy collarettes are lit
orally too numerous to mention, but are
very dressy. Some collaretses have
scarcely anything more than the up
standing collar, with a slight curve be-
low, and this thickly fringed with sable
or mink tails all around. Some of the
collarettes have perhaps a hundred tails
on them all around the shoulders and
down she front, reaching the waist.
Some Of the combinations are very
striking. One cape, for instance, is of
light brown rough faced cloth, lined
throughout with Persian lamb of deep
glossy black. It is much deeper in the
back than front and flares rather stifay
over the arms, and thus one notices the
lining first of all. Many jackets of fur
have full Innings of other fur. This is
fashion breught from the orient and
Russia, where winters are very cold.
We do not need such warm garments in
this country.
There is novelty now to record in
the golfng jackets Heretofore there
were but oapes. The jackets are made
of regular ''plaidies' and are oub like
all the seasonable short jackets. They
are warm and handsome, and will be-
yond doubs become very popular with
