| Prettiest and oldest of those now being
| shown is of white Russian fox, made very
! long, as are all the new and smart ones,
and finished with real heads to correspond
with the fur. The boa was accompanied by
a dainty muff
At this time of year, when it is yet too
early To wear heavy wrap, the boa is eX-
tremely convenient. AS | before remarked,
the most stylish of these boas are quite

/ fur. Some of the boas are ruching made

mounted with chenille is popular, the che

For Coaching Wear.
Handsome driving capes are made with
deep fur trimmings. Sealskfn is still, of
course. a la mode, but is generally seen in
combination with some other fur. Capes
and coats of sealsllin are richly trimmed
with chinchflla and finished with brocaded
Innings OF shining satin
Long driving coats of smOoth-faced cloth
are handsomely trimmed on the collars and
revers with cich dark fur. A double row of
large cloth-covered buttons, say eight Of

The dressing Of madame's dog IS getting
to be as important a question in Paris as
the dressing of madame herself. No fash
ionabIe Partisan dos ever dares to APP
pear in pJbliC in the coat that nature de-
signed for him. Instead countless millinery
and mo;iistic CONNECTIONS are piled upon his
head and back, until instead of a sober,
Sclf-reSpeCting canine, he looks like a carl
cature from a comic paper. To be quite
correct the woman Of fashion never appears

does not harmonic with her own ultra
chic costume. The dog costumers supply
garments for all occasions.
Creations for Bow-Woyvs
One shame-faced canine was attired for
recent at home in creation of shirred
pink chiffon over-pink silk, around the body
being sash of silk tied on the back in a
large bow. \ handsome collar of gold fill
gree work encircled the dogs poor little
neck, and CATERS of pink silk, laced with
pink silk cords, covered his feet. Another
robe worn by this same dog at an after
noon tea was of red, when its mistress was
gowned in a similar costume The robe
WAS Of silk covered with an elaborate
piping and finished with high stock trim
med with chiffon ruchings.
Out-of-doof coats for the dogs are made
of all sorts of cloths suitable for human
wear and are stitched just like their mis-
tresses' smartest wraps. Little caps or hats
ara made for the beasts, very like infants
! bonnets, even to being tied under the chin
with ribbon bows. OF collars there are
styles galore the most popular of these be-
ing of enamel. Some of these which ap-
pear most comfortable for the dog are of
velvet mounted with jeweled slides. Some
times from the collar hangs a tiny charm
with the dogs name engraved on the flat
gold or silver of the ornament and with its
mistress picture inside
Speaking of jeweled charms reminds me
