Ihen, too, there is much more care taken
that the rich fur shall fit well about the

In former days this was never considered.
and consequently the handsomest of furs
often looked badly and were entirely with
out any look of style, and women hated to
wear Them not realizing that 1t was the
fault of the dressmaker or furrier which
made the furs seem SO unbecoming
Fashions are strangely complex this sea-
son and many of the styles seem to be in
direct variance with one another. Exceed
ingly smart and attractive are the loose,
shapeless coats and wraps made on the en-
pire and directoire order; exceedingly smart
and most becoming are the close-fitting
coats, short and long. The loose coats are
as rule, ornately trimmed, and yet 1t is
possible to wear with them attractive furs,
laces, fiat mot round) stoles plurnes and
the hundred and one faneiful designs in fur
that are so exceedingly popular The close
fitting coats, however give the best chance
to show off handsome furs, for they seem
to be merely an addition to the costume
while at the same time retaining their own
marked individuality. The long, fiat stoles
OF sable show TO the greatest advantage
when worn with velvet or cloth costumes.

Sable and chinchilla are the most costly
and most fashionable of all furs In
this style of garment, and the
maj kings OF the fur show to the
greatest advantage far more than in
lace facings to revers and collar and even
pleated ruffies of chiffon help also to soften
any hard lines and to make the wrap more
becoming. Oddly enough, seaiskin and the
MORE Persian are not thought appropriate
for the wrap of this description. the long
haired fur having always the preference.
AS Is well known. there are In fashion this
season many furs that naturalist would
have difficulty in recognizing under the
names given. Many quite inexpensive furs
resemble sable so closely that from dis
lance it Is almost impossible to distinguish
the imitation. but after a short time of
wearing there is not the same difficulty, as
they cannot stand hard wear, the color
comes off and the fur itself looks as though
1t had had hard usage for a long time. This
may seem like rather sweeping statement,
and of course there are no end of ine1pen-
sive furs that wear comparatively well. It is
only the base limitations, the too much

shows new lines and new effects in trim
mings and design, while the wrap to wear
with 1t. made OF chsfchilia or sable, adds a
touch OF beauty and more than hint of
luxury and costliness that are always satis-
flying to the wearer of such a costume
The broad fiat stoles of fur are becoming
to almost every woman and although In
some instances IL is wiser to shape the
stoies around the shoulders in plain fat
and even ones are the snartest and most
generally becoming. Some are made with
fur on both sides, that IS. lined with the
same. Others are lined with satin or bro
cade. The double fur Is certainly the warm
er fashion. but It is conteiided that the
satin or brocade takes up so much less room
that Ii Is the more becoming in conse-
quepce. Some of the stoies are finished with
tails, others have plain straight ends. Some
fancifui designs are finished with rlffies OF
lace or pleatings of chiffon. 1t can be seen
that there is wide range of choice and a
good opportunity for the display of lndi-
Tidual taste. Conservative taste might find
fault with lace being combined with such
costly skins as chinchilla or sable. but the
combination is most effective and becoming
and so finds many admirers.
In less costly furs there are Soma most
effective and rich stoles that are ieliciously
warm, becoming and effective. Both in iml-

in the case of the other furs. Mink is also
used Tor this style of wrap, but is not so
generally becoming as the beaver, otter or
sealskin The one objection to this fashion
may be made that the stoles are too heavy
to be worn generally and are in truth only
suitable for carriage wraps, Like the other
stoles, they are made up in two styles are

very handsome and may be worn with short

The faint colors would hardly conflict with
any plain eolors. They do not cost nearly
so much as the northumberland linen
