intrinsic value, and might be
on all sorts Of occasions, from shopping
to visiting. But alas! such times are
past, and the woman who makes any
pretensions to dress will have her fur
coats quite as suited foroparticular oc
casions as are, her gowns. The plain
fur coat is rarely seen, but when by
chance one is: fashioned along simple
lines it is col1arless and worn with some
specially handsome neckpiece and muff.
. The little bolero is finding much IA
vor in the furs as we'll as in cloths: It
is especially good in the thick furs like
chinchilla because these have tenden-c
cy to give thick waistline which must
be overcome either by fitted. girdle
coat on loose lines. The chinchilla bo-
leroo may be shaped to. just reach the
high girdle of the waist, and an es-
pecially effective model has the skins
overlapped so that the markings are ar
ranged in design down the shoulders

plice fashion. The sleeves open with a
long puff Of velvet from wrist to ell
bow, and in the opening slit are set full
ruffles Of lace. The fur coat, especially
in the gray furs, is frequently worn en-
suite, and in this instance the accom-

a heavy black cord braid. The bodice

At last the monkey fur has appeared.
We have been threatened with it from
emily it existed only in the minds Of
fashion writer's or in the shops. of the
furriers. Monkey fur has been out 50
long that in the regulation swing-round.
circle of fashion, we quite expect it
back again, but we doubt from the
quality of the fur if it can receive much
prominence. It is really better suited
to mutfs than to anything else.
The Lace Bertha.
The girl with a. real lace BERTHA or,
better still, real lace cape, should re-
joice and be much glad, for her posses
sion will convert even a simple frock
into the most modish of costumes. The
bertha rivals the fchu. effects in popu-
former for youthful wearers, for it GER
tainly is more girlish in line than the
| fchu draperies If one is not possessed
of valuable laces or the wherewitha1 to
procure them, very satisfactory, suhst1-
tutes may be: found in imitation laces,
the coarse style Of which may have the
design outlined in colored silks or
marked with appliques Of colored en-
| broideries.
Austrian Embroidery.
The Austrian embroidery pieces are
so exquisite as to demand attention. A
set comprises ten pieces, which are ap-
piled to waists as trimmings.
One of the handsomest of these waists
| is built of very brown canvas.
The Austrian work is used for cuffs
and upper-arm pieces. Then there are
shoulderstraps extending from the
shoulder to the neck, and there. is a
pretty cross embroidered stock. A strip
extends down the middle, OF the box
handsome pieces of embroidery applied
to the front in the shape Of great heart
shaped pieces upon the bust. ~
In making these sets, let them be as
brilliant as possible, and see to it that
the cross-stitch idea is vigorously pre-,
served. Do not attempt to introduce
variety Of stitches, for the result will
be far less neat than tho one style was
followed turnout. ,.
One Street Gown.
There is a growing tendency among
women who dress smartly to expend
their money upon one handsome street
dress, trusting to one very nice cos
tune to carry them thru the winter
FREQUENTLY this is black camel's hail
and no wiser choice could be made, fol-
it can be trimmed in so many ways.
If one will get gun-metal camel Is
hair and make it UP with a full skirt
trimmed with wide bands Of .taffeta put
on like ruffes, and will finish the waist
as a tight-ftting bodice, trimmed with
bands Of taffeta, one has the begin
ming of suit, that will hold it's style
all the winter.
For the accessories one can choose
wide. girdles Of varying kinds Will
: buckles that show green one day anC
red the next, and are, again, all silver
These great deep buckles are used tt
secure wide velvet belts and belts Of
fur and girdles of suede and deep calf
skin girdles. Stocks are also made Of
the same material.
Odds and Ends.
To use up ones odds and ends Of
silk ruffing, one need only study
the fashion pictures Of the moment, fol
skirts as we'll as waists are rufhed; anc
ruffes trim stocks, sashes and all the
small articles of dress. It is an era OF
ruffes and frills, small and wide, fol
both styles are fashionable. ~-:-
