RS. ARTHUR PAGET. leader
OF the Queens set. has q new
four-in-hand necktie.

y four-in-hand necktie.
Il is made OF Persian lamb
fur and it's width 10 about four
fingers 1t is lined with white satin and
ii is Just long enough when tied to come
to the waist.
Mrs. Paget adjusts this Persian lamb
strip around her throat. over her fall
coat, ties il IN four-in-hand style, secures
f. With a handsome boa clasp and lets
the ends hang 10 her belt 1t gives a
pretty finish 10 her fall suit and sounds
the Inst note Of the wearing Of winter
furs.
The seasons are being severely rushed,
oI that there is little discussion; for, in
the shop windows, there are plenty OF
furs and already my lady has begun to
lay in her winter supply. The FIRST furs
are terribly expensive. But, oh. how
fresh they look how perfect IN color, how
becoming. how almost seductive in their
rich glossiness. It is Worth few dol
lars extra TO buy furs IN their season, be-
fore they are shop worn and while the
gloss Of the hnisher is upon them.
That II is TO be a great fur season there
is no doubt at all. Furs have already
appeared in London and furs are begin
ming 40 be seen everywhere. You get
glimpses Of them on the occasional cold
days, when some ambitious and impa-
tient owner Of a pretty boa or a collar
cite comes out with it just to give 1t an
airing And you see furs Of evening
in the shape of the wide stoles and In
bands OF fur that are lined and thrown
around the neck in boa fashion. Furs
seem never wholly TO be laid aside and
arc among the things that are worn as
late as possible and brought out as early
IN the season as can possibly be made
convenient.
IN ,ne bewildering array Of new furs
offered for inspection one notices the old
laVOrltes made new in various ways. One
very remarkable feature in fall wear is
the manner in which furs are cut up and
made into odd garments. Furs that are
almost priceless are made into kimono
coats. straight front and back and with
kmono sleeve. And furs which would
have been deemed sacred in grandmoth-
els day are ruthlessly cut into strips for
the trimming of long coats.
The fur automobiles are among the de-
sirable things, but they cost a great deal
Of money and there is no such thing as
q bargain list. The fur auto coats that
come to the heels are selling for 5000 and
5000 and one is fortunate to secure good
enc at that price.
In seal coats there are some very nice
bargains. and. as seal will hold its own
al winter, il is really as good thing as
a woman can now buy. One of the best
seal models is the little. tight-fitting
jacket snug front and back, and only hip
length. This is furnished with a very
wide rolling collar and with broad lapels
The sleeves are cut into a very large bell
shape.
seal model which is being copied by
those who can afford it is the three-quar-
ter seal coat, coming below the hips and
fitting very snugly. Its collar is a wide
one that turns over in sailor fashion.
leaving the neck exposed. while its
sleeves are coat sleeves with the full
kimono cuff. which is very wide so as to
show the dress sleeve.
Still another seal model is the seal auto
mobile. which is handsome enough to an
sWer as a dress garment and which will
be worn by those fortunate enough to
own IT,
Persian lamb, baby lamb and all the
stages and ages Of the Persian lamb will
be more widely the vogue than ever.
Lamb has the great advantage OF fitting
the figure well without making II seem
too bulky and on this account IL finds
favor with those who could not wear
mink sable or any OF the other thick
Ela,ies OF FUR. Lamb is also excellent as
q trimming. rating with astrakan, which
Is so ideal as a border and for the making
OF nice Ilr collar.
Chnchilla is still the daintiest Of all fur
trimmings and this year can be found in
very expensive grades. showing a great
variety Of markings. And another fur
which is to be seen a great deal this sea-
son is sable of all kinds, the Russian
article and the American, the real and
the imitation, sable that is glossy and
priceless and sable than can be bought
for few dollars on the fur counter.
Ermine is this season to be the fur Of
all pretty furs. 1t has come in with q
much greater popularity than ever be-
fore and the rush for ermine will be un-
IeBecedented. OF course. this brings up
the price and once more my lady is called
upon TO open her purse strings to the ut
most, for ermine costs dollars where
other furs cost cents. and she who would
own stole of ermine and ermine cuffs
and muh must be prepared to pay the
cost.
