have proved anything but satisfactory.
The process of curing was cheapened TO
such an extent that the value of the fur
decreased, and it suffered from the over
popularity that the cheapening process
always brings in it's train.
Far otherwise is it with the dark and
thick Siberian squirrel This is by no
means an inexpensive pelt when the best
ones are taken into consideration. OF
course, it does not stand in the same
class as does mink chinchilla, but com
pared to the domestic squirrel, the ST
berian one is a high-grad fur. The de-
ughtful garment that illustrates this page
is created in deep and dense Siberian
squirrel, pelt that is as thiekly fufred
as beaver.
WHAT one might term the more spectacu-
lar furs-tllose of vivid markings. such
civet, leopard, lion and such-are
reaching a degree of favor that hardly
seemed to be theirs in the earlier part
of the season. The eye has to become
accustomed to the somewhat unwonted de-
signs and the unaccustomed colorings; but
civet, with its conventional and al
most mathematical markings, is right in
the forefront of fashion while the other
pelts alluded to are scarcely less modish.
Where furs are not required, then there
are some charming models IN SfllIoneIle
cloth and other rainproof fabrics. 1t is
also claimed for those that they are wind
proof as well. a decided advantage where
one encounters wind all along the route.
While the furs are distinctly of the
auto type, the other garments are equally
wen suited to street wear for other
purposes. Indeed, when well selected.
they may be made to take the place of
the Indispensable raincoat.
Hoods are quite a feature Of the later
modes. ana quaint and becoming are they
likely to prove. They are one and all
of them made to match the coat, and are
applied with snap fasteners to the high
choker collar that is an accepted part
of an auto garment The Frenchwoman

for carriage and automobile wear.
The garment presented shows all of
the modish features of current fashion.
The cut is loose and full. and the sleeve
is large enough to cover up the frillest
creation of the dressmaker without crush
ing it in the least. The broad shawl col
lar of plain black lynx Is so arranged
that it may be turned up about the ears
when desired, and the plain band cuffs
are of the same fur The cap is of dark
brown suede, with hood attachment

face veil of some modish mesh be used
TO protect the complexion from the
assaults of the wind and flying dust.
Empire Coat In CaracuI and Lynx.
Fashion is. indebted to the automobile
specialists-or, rather, to those who make
specialtes of furnishing correct automo-
bile garb-for some of the cleverest and
most attractive ideas for general wear
that the season has furnished. For ex-
ample. the smart surtout in caracul, one
of. the seasons most fashionable furs. The
necessity for the fulllength garment is
insisted upon by those who have ex-
perieneed the discomforts of short jackets
when on tour, except the rugs be like
wise of fur or fur lined.
The empire mode is followed. the body
part of the coat being of the plain and
full-yoke shape, setting closely over the
shoulders. but so cleyerly cut that the
side seams stand well away from the
figure rather than hugging it closely. To
this the full skirts are applied, those
latter following a circular cut. and this

founce that is attached 10 the lower
edge, this still further Increasing the full
