New York. Oct. Alt is rather
early in the season yet to talk about
furs, but in spite of that fact, women
are already taking an interest in the
early advance display of the furriers
which is a sort of prelude to what is
to come when the really cold weather
sets in. However, just at the present
time the most attention is being paid
to the mid-season neck pieces, to be
worn when 1t is too cool to go without
anything to protect the neck, with it's
thin, transparent collar, and yet too
warm to wear the heavier fur neck
pieces.
The ruches of tulle, matching the
hat and frock in color, which have
been worn all through the summer,
will also be worn this fall to the thea
ter and dinner arties. However, the
boas and stoles of marabou, ostrich
and coque feathers are more suitable
for wear in cool weather, and the var
iety and beauty of these neck pieces
shown this year is Incompatible.
There is no reason why any woman
should not be able to suit her taste
and ideas in a choice from among
the wealth of colors and designs Of
fered for her inspection by the best
stores.
The dyeing process has been so per-
fected that every fashionable shade
Is reproduced and the shadings n
color combinations shhown are more
beautiful than ever before. Some of
the sets OF feather accessories show
the deep shade of the prevailing color

to the lighter tones and in some cases
to white. This idea is especially eff
fective in the lighter and more deli
cate colors, like pink, lilac, blue and
some of the more, delicate shades of
yellow.
Other treatments in color are shad-
ings which begin with white OF the
highest tone at the end and growing
gradually deeper to the darkest tone
in the middle, where it will lie next
to the face. Then there are the scarfs
and boas which shade from a dark
strip along the center to light at the
two edges. All of these effects may
be obtained in all the fashionable
shades of gray, lilac, brown, blue, etc.
In many cases there are muffs to
match the neck pieces, and the latter
are to be had in the form of boas,
scarfs, and stoles, both round and
flat.
Lace, tulle and feathers are com.
bined in the manufacture of these
dainty CONNECTIONS for milady. One
neck piece seen in the stores is a long
scarf of three bands of ostrich feath'
ers set together lengthwise with two
bands of exquisite lace and finished
by round feather tails.
A more elaborate confection intend
ed for evening wear is an elaborate
cape of pale blue tulle II Ostrich
feathers, a dainty and perishable al
fair, but very pretty n becoming
to throw over the shoulders when
wearing a decollette gown to the thea
ter or reception.
Some of the neck pieces have lous
loops and ends of velvet ribbon as
a finish instead of the feather talls
Silver and gold gauze is also intro
duced in the making of these pretty
additions to the toilette, and in some
cases the oas or capes are made en-
tirelv of Fittings and puffings of this
glittering gauze combined with lace
and even velvet. Sets in tulle are or
namented with touches of gold anC
silver.
An odd but expensive set is made
entirely of overlapping loops OF velye
ribbon, running through many shades
of one color. There are flso to bt
seen in some of the shops sets OF
combination of fur and lace, and mos
popular being Irish lace and sable o
mink. These latter, however, ar
more appropriate for the really COLI
weather, and therefore properly COM
in the category Of furs for mid-seasol
wear.
