The combination Of furs which is char
acteristic of the seasons fashions is at
tracttyeIy exemplifed in this semi-dressy
motor coat Of brown caracul. Broad
plaits on the shoulders after the manner
of the Gibson shirtwaist lend vol
uminousness to the short skirt portion
which is exceedingly graceful and COM
fort-giying. The large sleeves are set
plain into the Mandarin armhole and
finished with cuffs of white caracul
There Is a vest OF the same pelt which
extends from the neck to the waistline,
also a narrow roll collar which is really
a continuation of the vest; and worn
with this coat is Napoleon hat Of the
white caracul, with a head protector
which fastens under the chin with two
scarf ends making a most attractive and
picturesque framing for the pretty face
OF the wearer.
Auto Coat for Dressy Wear.

Motor Wear Up-to-Date.

Two types of high class feminine auto
wear are illustrated in this picture, to-
gether with fashionable motor wear for
men. The central figure wears a three
quarters length coat Of squirrel. This gar
ment Is loose fitting from the shoulders
and has ample coat sleeves with high
turnback cuffs. The collar is wide and
rolling and runs into broad revers. The
cap is of brown and white herringbone
skibo serge with face shield to match.
The head protector which buttons under
the chin Is detachable around the band Of
the cap. The figure to the left wears
coat of Austrian waumbek, novelty fur
with conspicuous markings. High broad
cuffs and collar and revers are of sable.
The coat Is lined with white caracul
throughout. The picturesque hood is Of
brown kid lined with white and tied un-
der the chin with broad brown satin rib
bons The mans coat Is Of leopard skin,
fastening double breasted with large
brown bone buttons, and collared with
beaver; beaver is also used as a lining.
The leather cap has the under brim Of
raccoon which gives the necessary head
protection when the back portion Is
turned down into the neck. The goggles
are set In silver frames, and cheek and
nose protectors, attachable, are of tan
suede with Sleeps wool lining. The fur
lined kid mits are long like women's
gloves. and buckle around the wrist with

The Society Woman's Year.

repIenish her wardrobe. Sometimes l
manage to get away from business for
long enough to cross the pond and take
her for an automobile run through France
or Germany and then we come home to-
gether about the 10Th of July. Without
an hours delay we go directly to our
Southampton cottage, breezy little place
within shells throw of the ocean and
close to the finest golf course on earth.
1t is really quite pleasant in Suffolk coun-
ty until the first week in August when
the place gets so crowded that Mrs. Fit
terby usually takes yachting cruise to
Labrador and Nova Scotia, on the return
trip stopping at Dark Harbor, Bar Har-
Dor and Newport, whence she goes to the
White Mountains to get a complete
change of air. During the early autumn
she likes Lenox for few weeks but al
ways gets back to southampton for the
first of the hunting season and there gives
a succession of house parties. Between
times there are open air horse shows
which often involve automobile runs Of
several hundred miles, but If 1t were not
for these events. the race meets and the
floral parades, Long Island would be SO
insufferably dull during the autumn that
Mrs. Flitterby would have nervous pros
tration. AS it is, her nerves are so racked
that about the middle of October she has
to hurry to the Virginia Hot Springs for
a complete rest and freedom from care.
There's never anything doing at the
Springs excepting picnics to Tassifern
Farm, riding and driving parties, lunch
cons and teas, dinner dances and birth
anniversary suppers. Bridge flourishes
there as 1t does everywhere-and my wife
has dreadful luck at cards.
when existence at the Hot Springs
gets too monotonous, Mrs. Flitterby
makes house party visits round about
Richmond, Washington, Baltimore and
Philadelphia or else takes lot OF friends
up to our Adirondack lodge which, by the
way, we often open during the winter for
the sake of the skating and tobogganning.
Like everybody else, my wife contrives to
reach New York in time for the opening
OF the Madison Square horse show and
we do that pretty thoroughly from Mon
day until Friday. when we go up to the
Westchester house, where we usually
celebrate Thanksgiving by giving a regu-
lar family party unless Mrs. Flitterby
concludes to take a run abroad to see
her Parisian milliners and to pay visits In
Scotland and ireland. But she always
gets back to spend the holidays with me
and we entertain that week at the West
bury. l. l., place, where our guests can
enjoy all the winter sports If the neigh
borhOod threatens to be dun of an even

be some exceedingly smart costuming at
this fourth annual exhibit. Once within
the Garden Esquimo wrappings are laid
aside, first as a matter of comfort, and
second as an excuse to show the fashion
able gown beneath. A connecting link be-
tween costume and coat shows itself If
only in color, but more frequently in the
trimmings such as touches of fur COM
plimenting the coat skin. For instance
a tan lanslowne costume is trimmed with
bands of mink, tiny mink heads aud
brushes, and the long empire coat, small
close fitting hat and the huge muff are of
this same fur. Never would an ultra
fashionable be guilty of the sartorial crime
of wearing a gown trimmed with one fur
and a coat of an entirely different pelt.
Whatever the dress trimmings they are
always indicative of the accompanying
wrap.
Fur From All Parts of the World.
Practically every corner of the world

tomobilist. From Australia comes the

skin In its natural yellow tone and the
various dyed shades.
Those PeIts Used as Trimmings.
Beaver is used great deal as trim
ming, and Persian lamb and seal skin,
when cost is a secondary consideration to
desire. Squirrel is pretty, but too soft
and fine to be practical, therefore Its use
is limited. Leopard makes many of the
masculine coats, but 1t is a little too bi-
zarre for feminine fashions. Novelty furs,
those with decided markings, usually have
one tone collars and cuffs. such as beaver
with leopard, sable with civet cat. etc
An exceptionally handsome two tone gar
ment is one of black caracul with vest
and cuffs of white caracul, and a Napo-
leon hat with head and cheek protectors
of the same pelt, fastening under the
chin with short double scarf ends.
Another coat is OF broadtail, this for
dressy afternoon and evening wear, 1t has
front facings. high Medici collar and deep
sleeve bands Of black lynx; another coat,
black broadcloth ulster lined with gray
squirrel has a collar Of Persian lamb. and

1t Is not always easy to decide just
what to select In the way of gifts for the
one great gift-giving time of all the year.
One reason or another prompts the hesi'
tation which everyone must have expe-
rienced in buying or making appropriate
presents for this occasion, and carte
blanche to a generous allowance not al
ways results In the most satisfaction.
Many there are who harbor the feeling
that gifts to be acceptable should repre-
sent goodly value, but the idea is foolish
one and sorely discordant with Christmas
spirit.
Christmas is only two weeks ahead of
us, and some may think 1t rather late In
the day to offer suggestions. Again there
are others who will heartily appreciate
this Offering, coming at a time when the
house as well as the mind is upside down
with the joyous holiday spirit that already
pervades everywhere.
Going about the shops In the past week
this scribe found many things suggestive
as helps for those whose Christmas list
still needs some checking.
Couch pillows, you may say, are not
new That is true, but there are many
new and novel effects in pillow tops to
cover that tried and true friend the
feather or down pillow.
Lodge emblems are new designs in pill
low tops this winter, and when worked In
soft, lustrous silks or the mercerized cot
tons make most effective presents for any
lodge member. Some are stenciled In
colors, and these, of course, will only re-
quire outlining. A pretty design for a
bungalow den is pine tree branch In
green with brown cones.
Balsam pillows warranted to Induce
peaceful slumber are appropriately cover
ed with natural tone linen embroidered
or stendlled In this pine design.
From pillows we go to the covered
boxes at the same fancy work counter
fancy boxes, boxes of every size, from the
smallest trinket affair to those large
enough for miladi's chopping-bowl hat
and frilly front shirtwaist. These are
covered with dainty gaily colored fabrics,
inexpensive cretonne, or the more preten-
tious brocades Boxes of this latter ma
terial are very beautiful, but somewhat
ont Of the reach Of many because of their
exclusive pricing In high class shops.
However. with material by the yard and
the pretty gold trimming guimpe very at
tractiye presents can be evolved at home
for much less than the stores ask for these
novelties.
When cretonne Is used it is pasted or
sewed over the box frame and finished

without trimming. Sets of the smaller
sizes include gloves, handkerchiefs, veil
and belt box, and these make a very ac-
ceptable gift to one who adheres to that
old and time-worn motto. "A place for
everything and everything in its place.
A cretonne hat box and shirtwaist box
would be a nice present for the girl who
takes advantage of the space beneath
her couch to store away things that find
no place In the limited closet room.
There are cretonne wastebaskets too
and you might make one of these for the
friend whose bedroom has flower papered
walls and the bed and dressing table
furnishings are in the same design.
The beautiful colorings of these boxes
somehow suggest the new lamp shades
which afford the home sewer much scope
for originality. One shade seen recently
topping a handsome bronze statue lamp
Is of pink taffeta silk, the shade being
japanese in shape. square OF PINK sllk
with center opening to fit around the
neck of the frame is finished with mar
row white bead fringe and tiny head
ing of tinsel ruching. The wire neck
frame with points at the top is covered
like the collar foundation Of a fashionable
dress blouse, with deeply scalloped lace
and finished with a base trimming Of the
tinsel ruche an inch or more Wiuer
than that on the silk drapery. Empire
trimmed with lace.
II you happen to have the time Tor
some pretty needlework make one OF the
new lingerie pincushions of fine handker-
chief linen with blind embroideries, for
the girl who dotes on things that can De
'tubbedr as she expresses 1t. small
round pincushion with pinked silk rufhe
is set between two embroidered squares
ana caught together here and there with
tiny ribbon rosettes in white or color:
Perhaps you find yourself utterly non
plussed as to what you will give that nice
friend who has simply everything she
wants. Then calm yourself and set TO
work making her a piece Of dainty neeS-
wear. With the present fad for lingerie
effects. one canEot have too many OF
these pretty fxlngs, and the hand made
article is much to be desired quarter
yard of sheer linen with some pretty lace
will make at least three full 1abots or
rabats, or two front frills or pleatings.
Getting away from these personal Items
of the wardrobe, we come to such use
full articles as leather book and mnga-
zine covers, leather desk 1xings, etc, all
of which, If one be something of the
artist as well as the artisan can ne made
at home.

Wells.
In auto wells there is a new Idea this
season which bids fair to become very
popular. 1t Is satin striped grenadine,
bought by the yard or as a veil with hem
stitched ends. The stripes graduate from
two inches to half an inch In width and
cover two thirds of the yelling surface. The
colors Of these auto silk wells, or rather their
satin borders, are those found in dress
goods this season. A black veil Is striped
in such colors as purple, blue or red,
while the fashionable brown wells show
stripings in shades Of brown. With these
new effects has come a new arrangement
of this head drapery which is extremely
attractive. The veil is arranged evenly
over the crown of the small fur or leather
hat or cap fitting snugly over the coiffure,
drawn over the back and sides of the
head, crossed under the chin, swathed
around the neck, crossed again in the
back and brought around to the front to
be tied In four In hand. This arrange
ment is exceedingly smart, and has the
virtue of protecting the head better than
any other

When the Importers Automobile Ex-
hibit opens in Madison Square Garden in
the last days Of the old year, there will
be something there worth seeing besides
motor cars and the enthusiastic masculine
contingent bent on seeing the latest devel-
opmepts in the motor industry.
There will be motor clothes, n goodly
number Of them, and fair feminine motor
lists dividing their attention between the
merits of this and that car, from the
standpoint OF beauty and comfort, rather
than mechanism, and the practicability
and style of the newest things In motor
togs.
Motor FUrs.
The fashion element in motor wear is
confined largely to the clothes which we
do not see, that is, the dress covered by
the enveloping fur coat. However, fash
ion has done much for outer garb in the
last few seasons, lifting 1t out of the
depths of grotesqueness to the heights Of
artistic costuming. But practicability is
the feature which first, last and always
is considered in auto apparel. For this
reason fur has no peer 10 it's use in auto
garments for WINTER.
The Rough Furs.
Considering the amount Of wear one is
expected to give utility garment of this
kind, the rough pelts such as opossum,
muskrat, pony and coon are chosen in
preference to the finer skins in use only In
evening wraps for the opera and other
occasions when the motor car is in COM
mission for the evening. Wraps of this
type are naturally dressy, but their
beauty lies more in the quality of the fur
and the cut Of the garments rather than
any trimmings which may be used in
their makeup. Motoring from country
house, in West Chester, New Jersey or
Long Island, to the city opera box or ball
room IN a frivolous creation of velvet,
lace and spangles would be quite as in
congruous as uncomfortable, for the fash
ionable dame who thinks nothing OF mo-
toring with a company of house party
guests a half hundred miles to some scene
Of gaiety.
Clothes Worn at the Exhibit.
Beautifully gowned women are no less
a feature OF the AAutomible Show than the
great Horse Show, though the former has
not as yet gained for itself a reputation as
