are concerned. The one feature of
fashion in furs which is at all lasting
in these days is the fur itself, which re-
mains in favor for many years. You
are obliged to change the form of it
from year to year or count yourself
quite out of style, but you can at least
derive some satisfaction from the fact
that the animal itself has not gone out
of fashion
Russian sable and silver fox head the
list because of their beauty, rarity and
consequent high price, but Hudson bay
sable, sealskin, mink and baby lamb
are quite as popular.
Black and white furs are special ia
vorites, the latter in fox made into a
muff and boa being particularly stylish
for young women. The variety in fur
garments is greater than ever, and the
specially interesting feature, aside from
the shape, is in the varied combina
tons of fur. The most unusual of all
is long sealskin coat with double
revers, one of black and one of white
baby lamb. White caracal forms II
pouched vest and collar on another gar
ment. very short jacket ending at the
waist line.
Black baby lamb is perhaps the most
popular fur for coats that there is. and
this no doubt is due in great measure
to the fact that it is less clumsy and
more easily fitted to the figure than
any other fur, but the price, which is
higher than ever. has something to do
with it, for to be expensive is often u
desirable attribute from a womans
point of view. Broadtail is made up in
variety Of styles. of course, but one
of the pretty novelties is a short bolero
coat which fits the figure rather close
ly and curves up in the back to show
one of the wide empire belts of panne
velvet in either white or black. Gold
braid and oriental embroidery are both
used in the finish. In fact. the fur is
treated exactly as if it We're cloth
The art OF tailoring in furs has reach
ed high state of perfection among
first class furriers, and whatever your
fur may be your coat clings to your
figure as if it were cloth and with quite
as shapely lines. So says the New
