Wise women on post-holiday sales bent
take heed to this tip from Paris by Lon
don! 1.-THE fur hat is no longer the trade
mark of the faddist in fashions. 1t has been
universally accepted this season, and so be-
coming has it proven to the face feminine
that 1t undoubtedly will enjoy more pro-
nounced vogue next winter"
This means that bargains in small pieces
of fur or fur bands should be CLEANED with
enthusiasm. A muf offered at big reduc-
ton because it Is a trifle shop-worn or per-
haps out of date in shape will form the
foundation of a superb evening hat. A rem

required to form the brim Of hat to be
worn with a smart tailored suit.

most diaphanous of fabrics that it en-
hances all a woman's best points and soft
ems her harsher lines.
Some of the most effective of evening
hats are those which show combina ton of

crown of the hat and dropped over the hair
in the back.

becoming to the grill who has adopted the
Mary Stuart couture shows toque with a
Slight dip in the center of the front, built
entirely of chinchilla. Around the crown
are deftly disposed folds of white tulle and
chiffon, which are brought over the left
side of the brim through a buckle of cut
Steel little further to the front rises a
fluffy aigrette of white marabout tipped
with palest gray, and the stole to be worn
with this hat was built of lace and tulle,
with ornaments of chinchilla.
Dressiest Of Any.
Unquestionably the most dressy fur for
evening wear Is ermine, and even a little
Of this will look smart. 1t is shown in COM
bination with the most extravagant of real
laces flowers, ostrich feathers and mara
bout. 1t is seen at its best in the little tri-
cornes which are so picturesque SO Freuchy
and SO softening in their effect.
