that everything fluffy and flouncy is
the mode for on every hand the long
haired furs are commended. Brown
bear, black cub bear, Arctic cub and,
above all, cinnamon bear are outselllng
the fat skins, as they are called. Arc
tic cub is a brilliant white fur having
hair two or three inches long and of a
singularly dazzling finish. AS with all
cub fur, the down or fleece that grows
short and thick on the skin is soft as
raveled silk, and because cubs are not
often come by in the polar regions, the
price of cub fur is quite equal to that
of Arctic fox plus the value a new and
fashionable article is sure to possess.
The tall collars and fronts of opera
cloa6s are lined with this snowy fleece,
and long, round boas are made of it to
throw over bare shoulders.
ONLY YELLOW FUR.
Brown cub neckties, long boas and
stoles are adopted on all sides, but the
superlatively modish and beautiful fur
is that the cinnamon bruin yields to
cruel beauty. This is the only yellow
fur that has ever found favor in the
eyes of the well dressed, but so fine
is it's quality, so tawny gold its tinting,
on an under-heece thick and soft of
purest white, that no wonder an eXcep-
ton has been made in its favor. Its
thread, as the furriers call it, measures
on the best skins four inches in length,
so that a muff of it is prodigious af-
fair, and a collar of it stands about the
neck like a collies ruff when his blood
is UP. Eighty-five dollars will purchase
a decent muff and shoulder piece of
this skin, While something more is paid
for Arctic cub and fox.
These long-haired animals supply the
chief ornalnentation for tea gowns and
ing robes. Russian gauze, edged every
where with narrow bands of bear fur,
is among the striking effects of the sea-
son. Fur also plays its role of import
ance on chiffon and on lace when a
delicate morning robe is being made up.
More and more fragilely lovely these
bedroom costumes grow every year.
American women miscan them tea
gowns, for they will not wear them at
the tea pouring hour, save in the sane
tity of their own apartments. English
women who come home at O'Clock
from fashionable labors do joYfully
patronize their tea wrappers, receive
The casual guest Of either sex in the
luxurious ease of flowing brocade and
lace, but her American sister has not
vet screwed I'D her courage to that
point. More is the pity, for no gorgeous
dinner toilets are more luXuriously
lovely than these creations of jetted
lace fur, crepe, brocade and what not
else.
THE LACE JACKET.
The woman who does not don gown
at tea time row often contents herself,
if she is obliged to admit callers, with
a dark satin skirt, a bodice of some
soft pale silk and then over it all she
throws a lace jacket. 1t is shaped like
a redingore oftenest, hangs open IN
front or catches with a couple of jew
eled buttons across the bust, drops to
the hips, knees or feet, has long, rather
close sleeves and is made of chantilly
black. or white renaissance or two laces
combined. Sometimes the jacket is
short in the back and very long in
front or the lengths are reversed, oc-
casicnally tiny sequins follow the out
lines OF the lace pattern; but whatever
the arrangement it is safe to say that
her majesty of Sheba nor Madame
Popea herself ever wore a more royalty
extravagant lounging dress than this
Speaking of lace calls up a catalogue
of some very smart and original
weaves, lately put forth on the coun-
tiers. and the remark as well, that any
woman is safe nowadays in wearing
machine made limitations. II requires
an expert eye to separate the sheep
from the Soats these days, so c5Ssely
which is woven by hand, and only a
sentiment and a~bulging purse inspires
purchase of the latter. 1t was only to
be expected that we would have a Cy-
rano lace, and it is already Haunting
everywhere. The net of it is tea col
cred, the figuring runs rather heavily
along the edge and among small en-
broidered dots spattered over the width
of net are small halls of bright varie-
gated silk. This is just a pretty trife
with a momentary vogue. Point ga7
and marquise and braid lace are much
more deserving of serious attention, be-
cause they are all strong rivals in
clothesland.
FLANNEL PETTICOATS.
The braid lace appears quite con.
spicuously on underwear, most es.
pecially on the grateful and comforting
little flannel petticoats that are disheo
up in many styles for smart wearers
Most Of them are very sensible and
serviceable, hung on silk yoke belts
made of delicate rose or ciel blue
