1t mere coincidence,
There was time when to have a
plain jacket, coat or cape was enough.

had small turn.dowt collar. Not
so now. No. self-respectipg lady will
even look at fur garmeft That has
not more of luxury than plain, simple
fur. There must be- rolls and bands
of other fur set upon the fur'garment,
The Collar must be a spreading. run,

shape, fitted closely to the shoulders
and hanging almost without folds.
The other has the military form, but
isvery full, enough so TO fall in deep
folds. The military style is the one
having the fur jabot down the front.
Some OF the empire shapes have SER
pentine ruffies reaching to the throat
and all around the bottom. These are

Ladies will scarcely credit it, but cats

While combinations of two or more
styles of fur are made in many of the
most costly garments those made. o.
