tail, slender women. One of this style
was made with a special view to the hat,
muff and tailor dress.
This skirt had around the bottom a mar
row line of black astrakhan, with a Dor
der Of mink at the very edge all around.
The muff had a ruffle of the astrakhan at
one side and a double frill of drab faille
at the other, with a pale pink satin bow
in the middle. The astrakhan Jacket had
revers aud storm collar Of mink. The hat
was a toque Of astrakhan, bordered with
mink, with a fancy bow Of drab and pink
velvet, with a black rosette in the center
made of the astrakhan. The dress was
of drab venetian.
A full suit was provided for another
young lady who nay often be seen driv-
ing her four-in-hand, but she does not like
to make herself conspicuous at the show.
So she has a light gray broadcloth, heavy
and fine. The skirt is finished with sew
eral rows of heavy stitching. The coat
part is an Elton jacket, double breasted
and closed with thick smoke pearl but
tons. There are fancy reyers of chinchil-
la and a fat collar of the same which can
be raised in stress Of weather.
A dainty muff is made of gray velvet

die with two rows of the fur. At the
neck there is to be worn a bow of pink
crepe lisse. The toQue is of gray velvet
and chinchilla and has a curled eagle
quill at the left side.
Some of the hats are really wonders.
There will be a brim Of fur with a crown
of velvet and a plume made of tulle gath
cred into a close bunch, or there will be a
bo+ 90 roI-n4 NTH a fnr hrtro and q par-
feet stack of life size chrysanthemums,
made of silk muslin, on one side. One
such hat had six of these beautiful flow
ers, no two of them alike in color. Some
were incurred, some outcurved and the
others just straggly, but all perfectly nat
ural in everything but their transparency.
These were in some way more beautiful
than the real flowers in hat they were SO
delicate.
One astonishing creation was of dark
green, almost black, velvet In toque form.
The whole was enormously large for a
toque and was twisted into rich folds and
brought up high on the left side. Around
the whole brim and up to the top of the
high left side was q wreath Of delicate
pink roses set close without foliage. On
the left side and reaching above the high
est part was an enormous butterfly of sill
yer tinsel, with spangies Of colors where
they were necessary.
Much Of the fur used Is the soft, un-
dyed sealskin. 1t Is a delicate drab, with
creamy under tints. This is so expressive
that something else had to be found to
take Its place. Beaver Is still dearer
than seal, as it is practically exterminat-
ed. But the coarse and why raccoon
skins, when the long hairs are pulled out,
furnish an exquisitely soft and downy
fur of just the right tint. It is generally
toe long, and SO it is clipped and used In
place OF the seal. 1t costs very little in
comparison. The thinner parts are used
as they are for trimming children's gar
ments under the name Of 'scoon down."
Among some of the pretty accessories
to the garments of the season are dainty
neck boas Of craped and crimpled liberty
silk. Some Of them are colered, but the
most are black. One especially handsome
one had the regulation ruff around the
neck and the sfalls" In front, but these
were shorter than usual and ended in a
rufie, from which fell a founce of white
nerre lace or extremely uencate pattern.
This was 20 inches deep. In the back of
the neck there was an outstanding frill OF
white lace.
High stocks are tied twice around and
brought into 9 sailor knot In front. These
stocks are OF handsome brocade In small
design. The ends are square and six
inches across and have rich, knotted
fringe at the bottom to match In color.
Fringe Is a factor In all kinds Of trim
ming.
