than in any year ever known
This is the more remarkable when 1t il
considered that alrnost the entire FASH

the snowy north, whose use is
lively new. Little Elton coats with full
fronts are made of it and trimmed with
ermine, the color of the fisher being rich
enough to stand the contrast.
Chinchilla is perhaps the favorite fur
for evening wraps, though, like fox, it
costs more than it really ought. The
handsome widow, Mrs. Adolf Ladenburg.
is wearing a long chinchilla cape with a
shaped HOunce, and with a hood drapery
of folds of gray miroir velvet carried
around the shoulders. The lining is pink
satin, and pink chiffon frills intermixed
with cream lace decorate the inside of
the collar and cascade down the front.
Ermine is used mainly for linings-of
garments intended for day wear as well
