them was q narrow fur band. The full,
tucked sleeves had tfght-ftting caps edged
with fur. All shaggy cloths, such as lib
eIines, cheviots and camePs-hair suitings,
are vastly improved when made up with a
touch of fur. Some shaggy gowns have the
skirts finished at the bottom with an APP
plique design OF heavy Irish crochet lace
edged with narrow band of fur.
Velvet is especially swagger when fur
trimmed. A dark gray velvet had the
skirt edged with a broad band of light gray
fur. above which was a passementerie Of
green and black chenille. The bolero SINH
larry treated. and was very handsome. Vel
vet street gowns when trimmed with fur
are very plain, depending for impressive
ness upon the handsome furs and hat worn
with them The stylish long, fiat stoles
edged with tails that reach nearly to the
feet are also so broad as almost to cover
the front of the gown for which they act
as trimming. Fur is put on in bands or lit
tie medallions outlined with braid or
chenille, or else outlined medallions of
lace, silk or velvet. Bands of silk, satin
or smooth cloth often are outlined with a
very tiny fur band. Lace gowns are richly
trimmed with fur, the fur running in and
out as through a beading. Jackets and
coats have revers or collars of fur with
large fur cuffs very often. Sleeve puffs of
fur are new. All shades of velvet are
trimmed with fur, while silk in the dark
shades usually is chosen for fir trimming.
Ermine is employed on light cloth gowns.
silks. satins. Iaces and velvets. White
broadcloth. trimmed with dark brown or
black furs, is striking and stylish. Black
lace or black cloth, trimmed with light
furs. such as grays and whites, is hand
some. and black chiffon over white
is another swagger combination with
fur. Boleros and Russian blouse coats are
the favored models in fur-trimmed jacket
and skirt combinations.
Four stylish fur-trimmed models are pic
tured here. The first was planned for oys-
ter broadcloth and Russian sable. For the
second. sage green zibeline and Alaska sa-
bic would be suitable. The buttons should
be SNOWY. preferabl~ gilt. Plum-colored
camers hair suitins and silver fox would
look well in the next design, and for them
the buttons should be silver. Last use dark
blue cheviot serge and squirrel. and a very
stylish suit will result
Fur and lace constitute a combination in
seen. Sable. ermine. baby lamb and squir-
rel are the favored furs for hat trim
ming. Bands of squirrel with Irish lace
and white chiffon form one stylish hat,
while another has sable brim and ma
genta red velvet crown topped by a para
disc osprey of the same color Soft felt
hats and silky beavers look well with a
touch of fur added. and no great care is
needed TO avoid look of excessive weight.
Long. short and three-quarter coats
beautifully trimmed with fur either in
collar, cuffs. stole fronts or bands are
numerous. Handsome light cloths. silks,
Persian and Dresden silks and brOcaded de-.
signs are stunning when fur is added. Stole
fronts on coats often are of fur. and many
cloth and silk coats have fur for Innings.
Fur coats usually are on the blouse order.
or are short, tight-f;tting jackets. The
short. loosely-fitting coat is seldom made
up all fur. though now and then a model
IS shown. Persian lamb and broadtan are
especially suitable for coats and Jackets,
and when combined with some other fur
are very stylish The large dropping cape
collars so fashionable on cloth coats are
seen on many long fur coats. They may
be OF lace outlined with different fur
