Eur is to be seen used in many yrors
this year, and in fine narrow bands trin,S
many handsome gowns. The narrow
bands are more serviceable in many
ways, Tor fhey are not too neavy for the
house, while broad bands of fur are nor
suitable for anything but outdoor Wear
The fur when used around the skirt i
placed on the very edge. Sable is nsod
with excellent effect in this way. and is
one of the most serviceable of furs.
There is a tendency, as was seen tbis
past summer, to have the trimming hrsids
or embroideries massed upon the Very
edge of the skirt, and this is seen to
greater extent this fall. There is n fen.
dency to bring out the color, which light
ems or deepens the tone of a gown nj tho
lower edge of the skirt, an effort which
is quite new. For instance, q Whit
gown in which black is introduced in tbe
waist, in the broad fancy collar, and cuffs.
has line Of black velvet on the lower
edge Of the skirt, the only bit of black on
the skirt, and this is different from any-
thing we have seen.
Upon a gray velvet gown chinchillo *
used, and is exquisite. bat it is a delicate
fur, and will never do for an economical
woman While nothing is more charm
ing when it is fresh, nothing is sooner
dragged and ugly when it is not and A
slight shower or little hard wear will
ruin the finest piece of chinchilla. On
this velvet gown the fur-is used around
the lower edge, and mingling with chf-
fon plaitings of the gray curls in and out
around the train in the prettest way
the frock, a mass of embroderieS. and
roSettes of the velvet, and this. too. is
edged with the chinchilla and the turn
back cuff of the velvet upper sleeve is
also edged with it.
The time is at hand when one mus.
seriously consider the winter coat. Jack
Frost is getting a little too insiStent for
one to be happy much longer in the thin
wraps of the summer or early autumn
To sum it up in few words, the win
ter coat question seems to resolve itself
into two things-usters or rain coats
Not that other coats will not be worn.
There are many other coats that will be
modish, of which we shall speak. But
the vast majority of women are making
their choice from these two styles.
Of course, the choice of coat must
depend largely ON its use. The woman
who cam afford but one coat and needs
that anost frequently for everyday bust
ness wear will choose a garment very
different from that of her sister who
wants a dressy coat for afternoon and
evening affairs. The woman who buys
but one coat must consider carefully the
use to which it will be most generally
put, and buy accordingly. For the wom-
an who can have coat for every occa-
sion, little need be said.
The ulster, which promises to be the
coat of the winter. has both fitted and
half-htted back. The fronts pr" dor-
ble-breasted or fly. The sleeves have 4
turnover. cuff. A point to be noticed IS
that at the bottom in the back they are
not cut straight across, but curve down
in dreSsy sweep that spreads out over
the train of the skirt. Rain coats are
cut straight But this curve is a notice
able feature of the ulster.
Materials are covert, broadcloth We,
netian, and lightweight kersey. All
these fabrics combine a lightnesS IN
weight with warmth. These long coats,
il of heavy goods would be very tlr"-

the cloth is so delightfully."- light that no
one can complain. In broadcioth, fur
trimmed, these coats are as rich ana
dressy as one could want.
The rain coats are so well known they
hardly need description. Nearly every
other woman had one on the other day
at the football game. The rain coats are
box back. half-box back, and with yokcS
They are, as we have said, cut straight
across the bottom.
The three-quarter coat. coming just 70

many adherents. These coats are III

some appliques, some are tucked aua
