Sums

Furs In light colors will be much worn
by children this winter. and the little girl
or boy who hasn't a coat. cap. a collar or
a mum and boa set will feel that his or
her wardrobe has been neglected. The ex-
sceilent' imitation furs shown in the shops
are not more expensive than cloth gar
ments. and are more attractive and appeal
more strongly to little folk, especially now
that they are so much In favor.
A long coat for small child, made of
white lamb in the prevailing fashion, is
quite as warm and makes a good appear
ance even If it isn't as handsome as an
ermine that would cost between $500 and
$500. The. average child possessing such
an outdoor wrap would be just as happy as
If clothed In chinchilla. and. as far as style
goes. would be Just as smartly clad for
all the coats this season are made loose
and full. with either single double
breasted fronts. The collar. turnover or
shawl effect, gives desirable finish, while
the sleeves. in bell shape. with or without
turnover cuffs. are equally stylish. The diff
ference in price of a lamb coat and one
made of rear fur is enormous, of course,
for a pretty one in lamb may be bought for
$2174. while the cost Of gray squirrel, er-
mine. ETC.. would be more than $500
Imitation Furs Largely Used.
Splendid initiation ermine coats, trimmed

Of coney fur and may be bought for 1854.
Thfbet coats will be used by young chill
dren. They are exceedingly pretty, for they
are a good white. and the wool seems es-
pecially appropriate for babies. No dark
furs will be worn either as coats, in muff
and boa sets. or as caps. and with the ex-
ception OF gray squirrel and krimner the
latter light slate color fur with curly
hair, nothing but white WILL be generally
worn, though, of course, an occasional mum
or collarette of muskrat that Is a rich
dark brown. or a boa of nutria, which is
about the same shade as beaver, will not
be considered out of date If children like
them.
Mouffion. a white. curly skin that looks
like goat. will be much used for muff sets,
as will the ''coney" either with or without
imitation ermine tails. In the muff sets
that will be carried by children this season
there are several styles, so that little folk
may have choice the same as grown
ups. In the collar pieces there are the
cravats, with straight or diamond-shaped
ends, that may be tied in one knot about
the neck or worn crossed on the chest. The
throw scarf that is considerably longer
than a cravat should be tied and thrown
carelessly over one shoulder. though, if de-
sired, this style neck piece may be worn
straight. Shawl-shaped collars and collar
cites with rolling collars are stylish, as are
the pieces that have broad ends to give a
stole effect. With these neck furs either
round or fat muffs may be carried.
Fur Caps Are Chic This Season.
In real chinchilla a set would cost at
least $50. the same in ermine, while a
chiids set in white angora may be bought
for ninety-eight CENTS though the larger
and better pieces in thibet. mouffion or
"coney" sell for from So upward.
The hats that will be smart are in three
shapes that will be particularly becoming
to the average girl or boy under eight
years of age. One of these new caps is a
round polo shape, another is a copy of the
"Glengarry.'' or Scottish turban, worn by
the soldiers. and the third is "Napo-
Leon shape. with the two points to be
worn at either side of the head.
OF the three shapes the polo in coney,
with a white suede top and brush effect
on the side. Is most worn. though the Scot
fish turban, in imitation gray squirrel,
with gray suede top, is much liked by little
boys. The Napoleon shape will probably
be most practical. for 1t has ear laps that
may be let down when needed. Made of
coney or squirrel. with a suede top to
match. it is a chic cap for either a little girl
or boy.
