Description Of Illtts-
trations.
A Set of Royal sab1e..

Sable, the royal fur of Russia, is such
highly expensive pelt that the woman
who can afford its possession is indeed
fortunate. In Russia whole garments of
sable are worn by the royalty and wom-
EN- of fortune, but on this side OF the
water, the majority of sable creations
are confined to nun and stole or scarf
neckpieces. This set, valued well up into
three figures, shows neckpiece formed of
two sable pelts, the tails crossed at the
neck in the back and hanging to the
waistline The fronts, coming several
inches below the waistline, are weighted
with the heads and paws. The muff is
large pillow affair, with single head
and two paws set in the lower left hand
corner over a bunch of tails Of various
lengths. The deep. beautiful color of
sable is becoming to almost any complex
ion. and they are charming with any
color costume that one choos.J to accom-
pany them.
That Fashionable Marabout Scarf.
stroll along any fashionable thorough
fare today is sufficient to reveal the fact
that this is a season of neckdressings,-
scarfs, boas, stoles and ruches. Quite
the most fashionable OF all these nc-aIties
is the long hat marabout scarf in black
or colors worn with natty tailored suits,
tailored dresses and dressy afternoon

shade known as Renard girls which when
placed beside the blue fox has a sug-
gestion of green in its coloring. 1t is very
beautiful and harmonizes better with the
seasons dress fabrics than does the blue
fox. All the long haired pelts are as
usual made up into large pieces, long
fiat stoles and huge pillow muffs, plain
or trimmed with animal heads and long
bushy tails. One very beautiful style of
neckpiece is made of two pelts, fox or
sable, the heads in front and the tails,
crossed over the shoulders in the back,
depending to the waistline.
Chinchilla is another Of the fashionable
lighter furs, and the handsomest pieces
in this pelt are those Of simplest design.
Mink is very fashionable and likewise
very seryiceable. A great many heads
and tails are used in the making of smart
muffs and neckpieces, and the shaping of
many of the latter are decidedly new
and original.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-10-27

exactly like a mans necktie, and the
long slashed ends are trimmed with the
tiny black tails and the white paws of
the little animals. Twelve ermine skins
make the muff which is In reality quite
narrow, but made to look wide by the
double fringe of tails and paws. Scarf
and mum are both lined with white
satin.
Run and Mum for Evening Wear.
An unusual combination Of materials
and one which is very attractive is that
Of net and marabout in evening acces-
sories such as these. The run Is three
very full ruffies of closely spotted cream
net, each ruffie several inches wider than
the other so that the lower one spreads
well out over the shoulders. The ends
are caught together In the front under
rosettes of white satin faced velvet rib
bon and the long ribbon ends depend
well below the wearer's knees. With this
neckpiece is a muff-a perfect billow OF
net ruffies and marabout, which, by the
way, is white shading to smoky brown
color at the ends. On the front of the
muff is many iooped bow of the velvet
ribbon, and the rufies of net are given
body by lining Of double ruffies of
white chiffon. The set is worn with a
princess jumper costume of black chiffon
broadcloth with all over lace guimpe and
black velvet trimmings. The hat is
small shape Of white lace trimmed with
white ostrich and white roses with green
foliage.
Light and Dark Furs Combined In
Dressy Sets.
The combination of valuable furs in
contrasting coiors is feature of the nov
elites Of the season. Ermine and sable.
or ermine and mink are particularly at
tractiye. The latter is seen even mora
than the former. no doubt from the fact
that sable is SO very high priced and
that a combination of ermine and sable

toilettes.
Brown is a very fashionable color, and
this with black makes the seasons fa-
vored colors. These marabouts come in
white and all the light pastel shades as
well, but we do not see them with the
street gown; only for eve~iEs wear.
Brown scarfs. the ends of which shade
up to white at the tips of the nails, re
very attractive and somewhat newer
than the one color pieces, which have
been worn all summer with linen tailor
mades and lingerie frocks.
Stole and Mum of Gray Ostrich.
The taiIormade girl with her short
pleated skirt, semi-htting Jacket and
flower bedecked cloche chapeau has added
another charming accessory to her Fluffy
Ruhies costume. This Is the feather
neck-scarf and mufr of ostrich, cog or
marabout. These fashionable accessories
come in variety Of shapes, especially
the neckpiece, but the smartest is the
long nat stole which lays dat over the
shoulders and drops to the knees. The
marabout stole is formed Of strands or
ropes Of the feathers, four, i've or six,
In number. each strand caught to the
other with strong thread here and
there. but the ostrich Is solid, that
is. mounted on foundation. The mum.
like that pictured, Is Of the pillow vari-
ety,-Quite large, light Of weight and
warm.
Ermine in New Shaped Scarf and
Mum.
Among the smart new fur pieces of
this season are some very attractive
ermine sets designed for wear with
dressy costumes and afternoon tailor
mades. The majority Of these, like the
pictured set. show small or medium
sized neckpiece and muff. This scarf

pense one suffers the Inconvenience of be-

Dress Sets for Evening Wear.
Very chic evening dress sets, muff and
neckpiece, shown in the high-class shops
prove irresistible to many women, who
If they but would or could make these
novelties themselves would save at least
half the price asked for the ready-made
article Marabout In black and white
and pastel tints in bands like the onco
fashionable swansdowne may be bought
by the yard, and there is an endless va
riety of beautiful nets, tulles, malinettes
and chiffons with which to combine 1t,
malinette especially being recommended
because of It's weather resisting qualities.
The shaded marabout is very attractive,
that which tones from white to
smoky brown at the tips being liked best,
perhaps because 1t harmonizes we'll with
every color and again because smoky
brown is a very fashionable shade in
dress goods and millinery this winter.
In furs It would be difficult to say what is
the most fashionable. Caracul broadtail,
seal and such close haired pelts are best
In separate coats, and we shall see many
garments of this nature when the wealth
er grows severe enough FOR their wear
ing. The imitation furs, fur fabrics they
are called, are more than fashionable;
. they are the rage. Even women who can
afford a new fur garment every year are
having chic little separate coats of this
fur fabric moulded along the latest
French lines, which, by the way, are
that of the dolman of twenty years ago.
The new model is of course. much more
graceful than the old, for 1t is cut more
generously, but there are the same char
aeteristics-the uncomfortable sleeve and
the pointed stole fropts--in the new as
typifed in the old. The new is very sug-
gestive of the Japanese and the idea Is
frequently accentuated by the use of
Japanese trimmings, such as handsome
embroidery bands in all the Oriental col
orlngs which harmonize SO well with the
dark fabric.
Ermine and 81 New Shade of Fox.
Ermine is always fashionable, but its
prohibitive price restricts 1t to the ward
robes or women of wealth. However,
there are some very handsome sets of
mink and brown fox which combine er-
mine as trimming, that are not overly
high in price.
Ii the soft fox furs there is a new
Los Angeles herald., 1907-10-27

In even the smallest articles means a
price more than prohibitive to the Amer
lean woman Of fashion. The muff of this
set is formed of three strips of ermine
and four of mink. the ermine set with
single tail in the centre Of each strip.
The neckpiece is round fat collar OF
the mink with an inside roll Of the err
mine, this latter pelt forming vest
effect, the long stole ends Of mink nm
ished with tails and tiny paws. Where
the stole ends and collar join there are
little mink heads, one on each side, the
noses pointing downward and the little
ears standing up sharply.

Accessories Should Har-

The Costume Idea in
Fashion This Season
The Fashionable Os-
trich and Marabout :
Furs and Fur Fabrics.

SIT isn't my tailored suit nor my dressy
gowns that put wrinkles in my brow this
season, but it is those accessories which
one absolutely must cannot do
without--that is, If one expects to be
fRshionably gowned.7
Just a scrap of a fashionable woman's
conversation, but a thought echoed In
many feminine minds this season. Never
before has woman'5 costuming depended
so much upon accessories, and never have
fashions rules regarding accessories been
so stringent To be up-to-the minute
means that ones purse strings must be
ever open, and to keep up the pace which
the birth OF novelties ever demands
means an unlimited amount Of money and
no conscience as to its use.
Costume Accessories.
Fashion has issued her mandates that
this is to be a costume season, that is,
season wherein every article of the toll
cite is to harmonic in every particular,
a fact quite oyerpowering to the average
woman whose pocketbook permits of no
extravagances However, the woman who
is clever in matters of dress will over

garments first and her accessories after
wards, with the result that accessories
however few will always be in harmony
In both color and design with the cos
tune they attend.
Marabout and Ostrich Both FASH
iOnable.
No accessory to the winters wardrobe
is quite SO important as the fur or
feather set,-a smart neckpiece in one
of the many new shapes and matching
mum. Where one cannot afford both furs
and feathers, 1t might be wise to choose
the feathers, especially the marabout,
which is every bit as warm as any fur
and without its weight; and is moreover
much less expensive than any of the
fashionable peits. A marabout set of
scarf and muff may be bought for thirty
dollars, but how often can a fur set be
purchased at the same price? Marabout
Is possible with the tailormade street
suit or the evening costume; and another
hing which makes 1t an economical In
tment is the fact that It can be worn
