FASC|NA TING fURS
Sealskin Looms Again on
Fashions Horizon.
SABLE AND ERMINE
COMBINATIONS OF FUR AND
CLOTH ARE SHOWN.
Furry Effects in Chenille and Chiffon
and the Fichu Stole and
Hats.

Written for The Evening Star by katherine An
derson.
To the man or woman-particularly the
man-of plethoric purse, furs appeal as a
most appropriate Christmas gift and this
year, the most catholic in the history of the
fur trade, pelts are employed in exception
ally festive combinations. But let no mere
man be deceived by the smallness of some
of these furry novelties. nor by the fact
that so little fur is used because of the
elaboration of lace, embroidery passemen-
terie and chenille, for the price of the ar
ticle is governed neither by its size nor by
the simple combinations employed with 1t,
but rather by the chic air which the little
garment attains.
The man of mature years searching for
an expensive gift for wife, mother or sister
not unnaturally thinks of the standard coat
OF his boyhood- sealskin-and this year
everything points to revival of this glossy
fur. 1t is making its appearance first In
bands smart cloth garments, but there
is every prospect that the exclusive woman
will soon appear in a full-sized sealskin
coat, not the old-fashioned, unwieldy sort,
but a graceful tailored garment, rich in
color and fabulous in price, seals are am
nually becoming more scarce
Next to a SealSkin coat for the only
woman in the world, a present which will
unquestionabiy win her appreciation and
approval would be full set of seal or imi-
taton seal bands. just now so popular :or

is now atoned for by embroideries in other
colors. Gilt buttons ornament the simpler
vests. but those of Powered silk or velvet
often close with the most beautiful gemmed
buttons. The matching cuff piece Is pu'
above the little ruches and quillings which
now deck the bottom of all dress sleeves
so that the white edge below has quite the
appearance of underSleeveS.
Two gowns displaying jaunty vest-1ack-
cts likewise show the new full skirts and
correct under-sleeves An afternoon cos
tune or hotel toilet is of silver gray with
jacket trimmings of cloth in pale pastei
yellow. This forms the fiat vandyked col
lar, rever pockets and cuffs, scalloped
edging of red-brown velvet giving splen-
did touch. Brown velvet also finishes the
soutache motives. The waistcoat is OF
white rosebud velvet, and the little puff
under-sleeves are of tulle lace, which is a
late and exquisite novelty in the dress
world.
Plum colored cloth formed the second
gown, which is suited to any dressy SerV-
Ice The short jacket has attached waving
basques and slightly gathered fronts, back
and sleeves. Rever edging and cuffs are
made of suede olored cloth, bordered with
a bias of black satin and white cloth. The
waistcoat is of white cloth with double
row of copper buttons, and the under
sleeves are of tulle lace.
The skirts of both of these gowns are in
the new gathered form, which suggests a
little hoop in the wide sweep of the bot
tom. This roundness Of the fall, for the
skirt touches slightly all around, is con-
sidered the prettiest feature of the gathef-
ed skirt. 1t is also the model of models for
self-trmming, for the prim lines call espe-
cially for the simpler garnitures.
Went Way Back.
But to bark back to vests, cuffs and I'M
der-sleeves. Doubtless few persons are
aware of the infinite pains whereby some
of the designs are accumulated. When
vests were decided upon in Paris, as neces-
sary to the generally antiquated ensemble
of dress, the great makers put their heads
together and said. Les chateaux! SO far
and near, prying clerks were sent to ex-
anime the faded wardrobes of ancient fam
lies Fabulous sums were paid for the OLD
coats of long dead counts and marqulses-
for some of the old French families are
very poor-and every tiny detail of these
were faithfully copied for the modern
smart woman.
terms of the old silks and velvets were re-
yiyed for vests as well as the outlfn1ngS
with tinsel threads and filigree silver but
tons.
Whether or not the tulle lace used for
under-sleeves was found the same way is
not told, but 1t certainly has a charmingly
autiouated air. Some qualities have the
silky finish of blonde lace, and the all-over
sorts are used for the little sleeve puffings,
all of which surround the arm in stlff neat
rows Indeed, if only from the point or
neatness the fashionable three-quarter
sleeves are a great advance over the old
long-fopping styles, whose baggy puffs ana
lace wrist-falls were into everything. Iben'
too, the quality of the three-quarter sleeve
Is very youthful, and it gives just the little
STAMP of coQuetry all smart dressing needs.

Compared with the fulsome splendors Of
the season-for some of the trimming eff
fects can only be described as fulsome-
the dainty frocks decked with their own
materials stand out with rare charm.
At the beginning of the autumn, when
half dozen fine garnitures were consid-
cred necessary for one costume, these
simple gowns were thought rather plain.
The world looked for complicated needle
work lace and velvet inset in difficult ways.
embroideries further enriched by outlinings
of chenille and gold and silver bullion.
Then all at once the French frocks turned
the other way, toward simplicity, till now
the fastidious are inclined to believe that
elf-trimmings, and those only in restrained
quantities, achieve the truest elegance,
Further, they provide opportunity for dress
mess at comparatively small expense.
which is certainly an important point in
their favor.

used to set off the foot of dress, rever;,
cuffs, belts and peplums. A large fat nuff
and cravat to match will make stunning
gift.
The new initial ton sealskin is a triumph CT
the furrier's art; it commands almost ds
high price as the real sealskn, largely be-
cause of its remarkably lustrous color.
Stables are for the very rich only, and lni-
tation sable is the least plausible of near
furs and should be carefully avoided.
Broad-tail and Persian lamb are by no
means lost in this years mad scramble for
novelties, but they deliberately trimmed
and almost hidden in the front by MASSIVE
revers.
Short and Natty.
This is the first season that sables have
appeared in the form of short and natty
jackets. as heretofore they have always
suggested long sweeping lines. An ex-
tremely smart mode reaches just to the
waist line on the sides, but has long
position back and double breasted fronts
belted in by broad ceinture of satin, en-
broidered in gold and fastened with mas
sve gold clasp. The collar is deep and
rolling, but 1t can be turned up if the
weather demands. The muff shows the
new square shape with very little padding
and the front is finished with broad
square tab edged with sable. The hat to
be worn with this jacket is also of sable
showing turban On the torpedo line
trimmed with feather shading from en-
pire green to a golden brown. fastened on
with a gold cabuchin. Such a makeup is
especially effective when worn with the
new lustrous broadcloths
Another striking blouse shows a smartly
fitted jacket in Persian lamb. The back
and sides are tight, but the fronts blouse
slightly over tabs which are run out from
the hips. The sleeve Is a modified bishop
pattern, somewhat fuller than has prevailed
for several seasons. and 1t is finished with

Combs for Blends and Brunettes.

Let only the COLDER. haired or black
haired girl risk the gold and ivory combs,
and the silver one is for the brunette alone.
No shade OF hair was ever born or in
vented which could not wear tortoise she'll
Its tints and lights are universally becom-
Ing. These combs are all expensive, for
only the genuine materials or the best imi-
tations are worth buying. The handsomest
ones are jeweled. which brings them to a
fabulous price.
In selecting any comb be careful to
choose one with long teeth curved so that
the comb feels firm in the hair. 1t is both
dangerous to the comb and embarrassing
to the wearer to have 1t fall. If within
reach of a Chinese importer. he is the best
one to furnish an ivory comb. The Chinese
have been quick to learn American fancies
and they have adapted their handiwork ac-
cordingly. Some of their shops display
combs carved In exquisite designs.

name of rose puffs such trimmings, which
are charming in figured taffetas, are some
times made of narrow killing, opened plain
at the middle by the tucking and put on
loosely.
A gown in spotted brown taffeta dis
plays rose puffs of the same on the skirt
and ffchu-trimmed bodice. second gown
or gray panne shows the doubled killing,
put at the lower edge of bias bands,
stitched to simulate braids
Different forms in fiounces are shown on
the self-trimmed frocks, some of the bias
velvet frills recalling accurately the quaint
smplicities of old days. The very quill
ings of antiquated fashion books are also
used, one sort being doubled bias made
in species of hour-glass box pleating
stitched through the center. Plain bias
bands in different widths likewise deck a
number of these gowns, and variation Is
sometimes made in these by having the
bands in a lighter or darker tint. For eX-
ample, reception gown of pale violet cloth
has the skirt and bodice trimmed with a
shade bordering on amethyst.
the quaint round fullness of the newest
models render these band trimmings very
effective for skirts, which are trimmed
around the bottom more than elsewhere.
Contrasting materials are often used In
them with benefit, such as velvet and silk
on cloth, or the combination reversed.
But 1t is perhaps upon the corsage that
the most astonishing effects are achieved
by Self-trimmings. Used in conjunction
with lace-for lace forms part of all dressy
material often results in a bewildering
waist. Around the slight plastron of white
showing back and front in yoke Of the
most discreet description. will be seen
shoulder straps and shirrings of the dress
texture.
Dainty Little Coats.
Some of the daintiest little jackets are
also made merely by manipulating the dress
stuff oddly. If the fabric is thin enough it
may form shirred boleros or effects which
simulate them. One of these jackets decks
a dress in black liberty, the deep killed
flounces of whose skirt full out in mar
row ruche at the bottom.
Made into tiny bows and rosettes, the
value of silk or velvet comes out in the
very decorative quality of these ornaments
against a lace yoke and undersleeves.

the front with stiff little taffeta bows, a
bit of the brown. blue or red of the gown
