but the season has barely opened as yet.
we shall be in a better position TO Judge
or their smartness three months hence.
Inc mink stoies and the stoles or er-
mine, chinchilla, fox and seal are superb.
Not alone do they make a gorgeous show
Ing. they mean genuine warmth as well;
Even the smallest of tailored Jackets wouiu
be ample so supplemented, and We shall
see many charming costumes as result
If the day be cold these stoles can De
drawn close over the shoulders and about
the throat. If il be mild they can be
slipped down and worn after the manner
of a bertha, so making most effective and
elegant finish to the gown. as well as a
look well with drapery arranged about the
shoulders. These exquisite stole capes OF
soft fur allow of wearing after manner
that is at once graceful. elegant and COM
Portable.
VARIETY IN NECK SCARFS.
Shorter neck scarfs also are In stole
shape, but show variety in style neverthe-
less. In some instances they are simply
stoles lying fiat around the neck, in others
they tiny capes with storm collars
elongated TO form stole ends. These ends
and stoles vary in length from those that
fall to the knees to those which terminate
above the waist line. Some. notably those
of chinchilla and ermine. are finished with
fringe of silk cords and tassels Of fur;
others again show tails, but, with the
longer sort, the newest and smartest are
plain. Round boas are seen in the long
haired bear fox and Alaska sable but are
not new and lack the distinction or the
stoleS.
Motor coats are everything that we'll can
be imagined. Apparently protection against
cold and wind has been the first thought
length and voluminous looking as though
they could be slipped on over the most elao-
crate gown or even over jacket with per-
feet ease. Gray squirrel is the novelty
and is often lined with the gray and white
sort and trimmed with facings of ermine
but mink Is shown also, and there are
any number of odd skins found on occasion
al coats. while cloth, fur-lined and FUR
faced is seen at every turn. One or the
curiosities that really is most effective is
RUSSIAN colt skin, and many similar things
are daily being evolved with which to equip
those women whose aim is speed, and who
consequently require ample warmth. Seal,
Persian lamb and broad tail are found as a
matter of course, and quietly elegant,
but these are worn by the quiet folk, whose
aim is to escape rather than to attract
notice. Those women who vie with one
another in the matter of speed are apt to be
rivals in the matter of cloaks also, and
hence the demand for novelty whether 1t
be truly beautiful or not. Whatever the
fur, however the form is the loose cloak,
with big ample sleeves and a collar that
can be turned up about the throat or sim
ply turned down as the weather may de-
mand.
Fur hats are a feature, and many of them
are charming. To be correct they must
match the coat or the scarf, but are COM
bined with lace, tulle, feathers, and even
| flowers, until a soft and really delightful
effect is obtained. Those of squirrel are
numerous A charming one is in the low
broad turban shape and is combined with a
brim of ermine. while within this brim
is a drapery of white tulle. Irish crochet
and similar heavy laces much seen,
and one notable turban combines squirrel,
lace and burnt orange velvet in a manner
| that is entirely satisfactory and bewitching.
Burnt orange, by the way, is a favorite for
| millinery use and often brightens and vivi-
| fies an entire costume. In common with
| all other bright colors it should be spar
| ingly used, but In the hands OF an artist
MAY MANTON.
