On handsome cloth or velvet wraps ap-
plica lions of lace are introduced on the FUR
The fur employed for this purpose must be
short haired, such as beaver or astrakhan
The first named looks extremely well on
yellow lace, forming the garniture OF

monizing with the fur. l am authoritative
ly told that the combination of fur and
lace will hold good through the coming
winter. Conservative people never attempt
these fancies of the moment, and it's well
for the woman who has to wear her frockS
more than one season to beware of these
extreme fashions, as it's very uncomforta-
bic to be reminded in the world of fashion
Of the things that are no more.
For persons who do not consider the
wearing of furs a healthful thing or for
evening wear there are any number of
leather or exquisite chiffon combinations.
Custom does not seem to stale their infinite
variety or age wither their popularity.
Very pretty is a brown ostrich boa or
cape, very fat, broad and long At inter
walls peacocks' eyes peep out among the
brown feathers. The effect Is rather start
ling, but. on the whole. not bad. For the
older women chantilly or brussels lace boas
are elegant, although rather heavy. Per
fectly fascinating for the theater Is white
chiffon boa in the accepted broad. capelike
style. with immensely long stole ends The
edges of the fluffy ruff1es are trimmed with
white ostrich feather ruching. In most In

SCISSOR. The fur ties fits about the neck
after the fashion Of a collar, while two lit
tie furry heads peep out inquisitively over
one shoulder above a couple of sable tails,
and two other tails are arranged to fall on
the inside of the tie, which gradually wild
ems until it falls almost to the knees and
finishes with a fringe of tails. At the
wider side a couple of paws divided by a
tail put in their appearance. At the end Is
double bordering fringe of sable paws
and tails. The entire tie has a luxurious
lining of errnine.
Everybody supposed that the Russian
coat had been relegated to antiquity. but it
IS out again in all its pretty becomingness,
and will be very much worn this winter.
Nothing is more becoming to slight figures
than a coat of this kind. I have seen a
magnificent Russian coat of sable. with
sleeves and storm collar. There was no
particular novelty in 1T, but it had dis

as I have said was not much, but in the
modified form the touch of the new season

Some of the furriers are turning out Rus
sian coats with rather long basques. For
this purpose they choose close fur like Per-
sian paw or broadtail. as the fluffy fur
looks anything but well cut in a circular
basque from beneath the belt of a Russian
