Large lur Boas.

Fur collars have changed so during the
last year that every fur piece not bought
just lately looks somewhat old-fashioned
The change is a curious one and was
totally unexpected, so that any who had
their furs made over at the commence
ment of the season were not able to know
what the new shapes were to be. Where
formerly the long, narrow collar was worm
now the stole must be wide In back and
over the shoulders, although sufficiently
small in front to be becoming. Furs must
always be selected with regard to the in
dividua1 for figure, for what will prove
vastly becoming to one Of tall, slender
build will be decidedly the reverse to her
opposite.
The large, double boas are most attract

case, as they give such width across the
shoulders. These collars consist Of the
average length boa in lynx. fox or sable,
to which are joined two very short bOas.

It is not so much the fashion to wear q
long, narrow boa close about the throat,
one end thrown back over the shoulder,
for the one idea seems now to be to have
the boa as wide and full as possible. and
this, of course, prevents it from being
worn in double thickness at the neck.
Flat pieces lined with silk or satin are not
smart, no matter what the fur. for q boa
