of ivory cloth of the best md firtnesA
quality. ana around The bottom there
are two nnrrOW lines IF silver braid.
1t Is lined throughout with rich faint
blue satin. On each corner there is a
circle made Of the silver braid There
are lines of this braid around the
sleeves end pelcrine. The sleeves are
strange shaped affairs. lis there IL a
band of fur at the wrist which holds
the sleeve in, but they llang III flowing
shape. The pelerine has one deep point
at the back and two In front. These
fall away Il little 30 as TO show full
scarf of pale blue silk muslin with n
silver knottcd fringe ut the ends. There
Is border Of real Russian sable around
the pelcrne made quite wide and in
collar shape at the top.
This cloak Is but one of many in mere
or less the same general style, and It Is
used for so many different occasions
that 1t is after all not so very costly.
TO theater. opera. afternoon functions
of all kinds where cloak can be worn
with propriety and to dinners. even to
balls, can this style Of garment he
worn. 40 let liz all get one. The small
price Of such Il cloak with real sable
would not be over $1,000 or &o, 900. One
could also add some fine old lace.
Furs for every day and hour wear
this winter have not been much worn
owing TO the very open season. but
from now on they will be In evidence.
Jackets Of seal and broadtaH, as we'll
as lamb. are very fashionable and de-
rlrable! Many Of these have revers Of
chinchilla or sable or sots,e other brown
fur. There are so many brown furs that
1t would be profitiess to mention item
In detail, but they are considered more
refined than the chinchilla.
Scarfs. single and double. are much
affected, and the long stoles OF mink
or some other fur seem to be very we'll
liked. They do not come up 50 high Mt
the neck as the collars and no are
scarcely as generally becoming, but
on the other hand they have more
novel look. Some of the neck pieces
have SO many tails that they really de-
tract from the value Of the fur. Dyed
fox makes pretty fur pieces for every
day. and mink made 80 that the stripes
form fancy designs Ia quite novelty
and In consequence desirable. Some Of
the stoles. reach almost to the feet.
White being the keynote of all fash
fonable things this season has caused
the modistes to vie with each other to
invent something new and remarkable.
Al outfit for one of our young ladies
of the smart set is sufficiently novel to
mention. The whole suit goes together.
There Is q dress with rather long
skirt. and around this in row Of ap-
pllcatinn of heavy Russian lace in
ivory shade. The dress Is cream white
Venetian. and around each of these
lace designs Is fine line Of sable fur |
This outlines all the lace application |
and causes it to gain another impor-
lance Under the lace is piece Of |
white satin which throws the design |
OF the lace into better light.
The waist is blouse with lace and |
fur trimming like that on the skirt,
with high lace stock. Tiien corues |
the short automobile coat. which is |
made of caracal W ith n fringe of or |
mine tails all around the bottom. And |
down the front there IL a fringe of the |
same tails. The sleeves bag widely |
ut the bottom, but they are brought to |
band Mt the wrist. The hat in a |
Ioque made to match the coat. of car
tcal, but there is a sable band around |
The edge and there is plume made
1f erInfRe tails and small made sable
tails. These are SO arranged as to
lang down In the back.
