The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-11-02

The same rule holds good with her
mamma. for to wear a neck fixing too big
for you nowadays is truly to hide your
light under a buShel.
Let us quote the furrier:
Have YOU noticed that the smaller the
woman the bigger she wants her boa? 1t
is all l can do to convince them to the
contrary. and the big mutfs. also make
small women look ridiculous. The heavy
bundling wraps are magnificent. on TALL
fine women. but on the little ones on,
MY"
There is the thing in a nutshell-you
must be big to wear around your neck
the great animals seen in the shops. For
the understood, the furliers politely show
children's designs. or demonstrate with
great art how the too big things may be
cut down without damage to style. Re-
member this when you buy your furs
A royal cloak Of ermine lined with sa-
Bile. in this shop, was Il s,bblimer sermon
on the divine privileges of big women.
This regal wrap, which was made long
enough TO sweep over the train Of an
evening dress. was of a dazzling splen-
dor. and you felt it par excellence the
very queen eff wraps. The model was
the loose back cloak used for all long fur
wraps. but to see two graceful skirt
tlounces shaped in so clumsy material
gave you new sensation. The wide
sleeves We're flowing. the curved collar
very high. at the back. the rich brown
of the lining emerging at The front to
turn back in heavy revers.
1t was sublime - the very queen
of cloaks. And its price-a little
matter OF $1,000. But you must expect
that sor; of thing when you gaze on
Russian sable, for. the lining was the
very cream of this cloak.
Silver fox is a rarity almost equally
precious. and one who likes sable is al
ways in the fashion. 1t is much behind
the brown fur in becomingness, however,
ana because Of it's grizzled look is gen.
orally consi lerel the privilege Of elderly
women.
Stylish furs more in keeping with or
binary m cans are gray and black lynx
ana satle fox. a brown Alaskan fur that
quite success fully initiates Russian sable.
Since br.,>n is more fashionable than
anything else, and the reddish tcne Of
this slistening pelt is singularly becOm-
ing. sable fox will probably be the pOpu-
lar fur of the season. In addition to its
other virtues, as furs go, it is very cheap,
$50 purcf aSing quite a stunning boa-Or
"sroes" they are more properly called
and snuff. The black and blue-gray lynx
sets sell for the same price.
Besides the. furs here mentioned there
are, of course. many others in the mar
ket, seal, mink, chinchil,a, black and
brown bear. ETC., to say nothing OF num-
berless tiny animals of no distinct fam
lily. Fhrese bear such a painful resemb-.
lance to our old friends Tabby and Tom.
that it is no wonder their. origin Is
shrouded in discreet mystery. One lit
tie shoulder cape seen was literally hung
with these small beasts, little more
foxy in type, but equally as piteous. An
other pelerine of sealskin had rolled
border Of fur, with double-headed little
beast folded about the high collar and
innumerable nameless tails hanging
down the front.
One point to be carefully noticed is
that there is no trumpery trimming of
the new fur neck fixings. An elegant
plainness-as far as ribbon and lace are
concerned-is everywhere discernible.
