feet This II an extremely pretty
mode.
The best FUR Tor the military coat and
hat is astrAchan. It is asehoft fnr and
does not have the tendency to make the
figure look larger as 50 many fslrs do.
It is not so expensive and for that rea-
son is popular.
In the expensive grades Persian
lamb leads the styles. Then COMES
seal; or perhaps it would be well to
mention sable here, except that its
price is SO great that 1t is seldom made
into coats. Seal and Persian lamb
lead, followed by astrachan, which is
inexpensive and pretty, in the latest
designs that are shown.
Fur will be largely used in small de-
signs. 1t will be the trimming OF the
winter and numerous are the devices
that are employed for its use. Of little
fur capes there are thousands; you can
scarcely enumerate all the modes Of
the small shoulder garment. 1t comes
with the collar very tall and the cape
very narrow; and 1t comes with the
collar low and the cape rather broad.
One Of the effects of the Paris Expo
sition was to stimulate the modistes to
the productions of novelties. To own
"a gown that was on exhibition" is the
highest boast of woman of fashion;
and to be Madame a Ia Mode it is abb
solutely necessary to display ward
robe provided with at least three of
these gowns, one for morning, one for
evening and a gown with coat for
the street. In the treatment of fur
the world of fashion will receive many
a useful hint this season and the effects
will be felt for many a year.
A Cape Treatment.
One of the novelties is in the treat
ment of an old cape which is too worn
around the edges and in spots to be
plcSchldDiS. IuS ClCNcl uiOuioIC, "
whom was handed one of these capes
with directions to cut it up for bod
ice trimming, took it in hand; and,
after removing all extra fullness, she
appliqued tiff the term may be al
lowed--to the gown, front and back to
form deep yoke. 1t opened in front
OF course, and was fastened up by
means of the hooks of the gown, for it
was really a part of the dress.
The edges were worn; SO, all around
the border of THE cape, the modiste set
Mttle ruff1es of chiffon which came from
underneath the fur in the prettiest
manner possible. The ruffles were three
deep, each little longer than the one
next to it.
Now, with the bits of fur that had
been removed from the shoulders of the
garment to make it set smoothly upon
the bodice, the clever fingers Of the
modiste renewed the skirt of the gown.
She made the tiniest pointed panel of
fur for the side of the skirt and she took
the narrowest strips of it and edged the
girdle. 1t was really avery elegant gar
ment, beautifully trimmed with fur,
that was finely turned out.
Mrs. George Law, the beautiful Amey-
lean widow, about whom SO many para
graphs are penned, celebrated her re-
turn to health not long ago by grand
reception in her lovely home. The
gowns on that occasion were typically
representative of the dressiest element
in Paris society. Many Americans were
present, and the American taste, which
is superior in many respects to French
chic, was freely commented upon by the
dowagers who came early and stayed
late-as though the reception were
ball and they the wall-flowers.
Mrs. Law, who has the slim figure of
the American woman under thirty,
wears, in her carriage, the most ex-
quisite gown of cloth satin faced and
tight fitting, in a brilliant shade OF
green, too bright for hunters green, yet
too pale for willow. 1t is the green of
the season, with enough yellow in it to
make it shine. This is freely trimmed
with bands of baby Persian lamb which
are arranged upon the bodice to come to
a point at the waist line. A tall collar
of the lamb, and little shoulder cape
of the same, are very attractive.
The very latest wrinkle in furs is for
the glove with the tiny band of fur
down the back. Three of these narrow
rows are stitched to the back of the
glove and the hand, somehow, looks
smaller for them.
The eccentric is more the style in
furs than the conventional You see
fur coats with lapels of green velvet.
The fur sleeves are cut off at the elbow
and below the elbow there are puffs of
velvet reaching to the wrist. Other
fur coats have entire vests of velvet
and velvet cuffs trim the sleeves.

American woman but not yet worn.
