were long caPes with dangling fringes Of fur tails
and smart neck boas, some with animals head

the dress or jacket choker and fasten under the
chin.
a handsome costume consisted Of a skirt of black
cloth, trimmed all over with an appliqued four
leaf clover design Of black breitschwanz. The
sleeves matches this. and there was a sleeveless
bnlero Of the fur and rich lace collar over the
shoulders. A youthful costume of brown zibeline
had the of the short Jacket outlined with an
embroidery of brown chenille with the slightest
touch Of fine gold thread. The large wrist puffs
to the sleeves of velvet. and the costume
finished with brown velvet hat and sable furs.
The latest examples Of the tailored costume-skirt
and suits of velvet. strapped with cloth bands
have decided success. A pretty one is corselet
skirt Of brown velvet with the fantest line of
white running through IT The skirt is trimmed
with straps Of brown cloth stitched with white
similar stripes closing the bolero jacket. Straps
of white panne trim the choker. and there is
lace front with full lace undersleeves gathered into
cloth wristbands. The corselet skirt, however. IS
not popular. One sees few examples of it in fur
costumes, sensational toilets which make their
casonal appearance at fashionable wedding or at
the winter races. One recently noted had a skirt
OF breItschwanz made in with a fitted corseet
and Jacket of loutre, the latter trimmed with
deep collar of white panne inset with figures of rose
point
An elaborate costume is Of black velvet dotted
with white the dots being about the size Of five
cent piece. The skirt is trimmed with two shaped
raftes. each edged with border os black fox. The
habit is with rounded sides and deep broad
tails. and broad band of fur outlines and fin
ishes the flowing sleeves, which open huge
undersleeves Of white lace. The front is Of white
velvet and lace.
