semi-precious stones.
The fad for intricate work, for the cut
ting and sewing OK small pieces OF fur, u
revived, and scarfs are made by setting
together host of small pieces, in varying
designs; but the practice has nothing to
commend 1t save it's novelty, and only the
woman who follows every freak OF fashion

hat displays fine workmanship, but is dis
tnctly unbeautiful.
American women have not even given
unroserved approval to the French fancy
for elaborate trimming of fur coats. Yet 1t
must be admitted that some Of the models
with cuffs, collars, waistcoats, &c, OF en-
broidered cloth or velvet are very attractive.
The fur bolero ornamented in such fash

ers, and several of the outs printed here i'll
lustrate such models, fashioned Of the very
soft, light skins and handled much as cloth
or velvet would be. Some makers are even
plating the blouse coats, aS in the case OF
the moleslSn blouse coat, plated from the
shoulders, into n deep girdle, and made
with leg o mutton sleeves and fiarinB GUNS.
The revers of this coat are faced with white
panne, embroidered in Oriental colors and
gold thread.
An embroidered waistcoat and under
sleeve, showing through the slashed fur
sleeve, distinguish another dressy little
bolero, and there is sketched, too, a triple
bolero slopinE sharply downward toward
the front and trimmed with heavy silk
cords and ornaments
Then there are the short box coats, which
are luxurious and handy garments, easily
slipped on and not as oppressively heavy as
the longer flowing coats. Some of the
smartest of these have no trimming save
huge handsome buttons of wrought metal,
with or without stones, or large cord and

crate trimming of braided or embroidered
cloth on velvet, and the shoulder cape APP
