Handsome Sable Cape Which Has Many Elements Of
Novelty and Effectiveness Worn With Shaggy Hat

round broad brimmed shape is wreathed
in white roses and green leaves and held
at the back with a broad, fat black .elvet
cow. which spreads over the top OF the
crown. There i :: great fancy for these
shaggy hats, possibly because they are so
suggestive of the more elegant oncs Of
fur, and soft velvety petaled roses in
variably constitute the trimming.
Three-q quarter capes, though not quite
so smart looking as the coats, both short
and long. are nevertheless very much,
worn. The photograph shows a novel
style in plain black cloth, with deep tucks
or plaits running around the garment in
horizontal rows from top to bottom.
There is decided dash in the deep fac
ing of the fronts, which is of bright red
panne velvet, ornamented with trim
ming formed OF pointed bands Of black
velvet ribbon. A tiny edging OF Persian
lamb finishes the front. With this wrap
is worn thick scarf of genuine silver
fox. and a muff to match completes the
toilette.
OF the fur coats perhaps the three
quarter box style is considered quite the
smartest. Persian lamb and broad-tah
are eminently suited to this particular
cut and the coat should be perfectly plain
after the fashion of the tailor garment
with, of course, the addition Of collar
and revers of contrasting fur if desired
Very short Astrakhan was used for the
coat here pictured-it is quite necessary
indeed that the fur should be short to
keep the garment from looking clumsy.
A deep collar and long revers of chinchil-
la gave a smart touch OF contrast ana
rendered the coat more becoming than II
it we're kept in the strictly severe style
The chinchiila muff belonging to the coat
presents one OF the newest and most ap-
proved models-the pouch shape This

fectiye when fashioned of chinchiila, er-
