Quite as popular as ever will be the
coquettish fur hat this season, but, as
in the case of fur coats. the fur itself
will serve as background for a variety
of trimming. Feathers especially are
combined with fur. the long plumes
blending with the lines of the hat and

full crowns of fur.

Now, however, the recipient of a Christ

fairy-like in its delicate beauty. A trim
ming of big crochet balls and a huge
chinchilla muff complete a garment that
expresses the ideal of beauty, luxury
and grace.
Muffs Bigger Than Ever.
Some Of the new models are almost
grotesque in size, making one think of
the time of gay little Marie Antoinet.e,
who insisted that her muffs should be
capacious enough to hold her pet dog
But 1t is not to be gainsaid that as a
background for a rosy cheek or a rest for
dimpled chin the big muff has possibil-
ties of coquetry not to be rivaled by even
the additionally dangerous paraSol.
The rag muf with a huge furskin en-
bellished with dangling tails thrown over
small padded muff proper is still
strongly to the fore, and this season
there is apt to be a row of slylookinG
little furry heads peeping over the top
in lifelike fashion.
Heads and Tails Both Win.
In fact. rather suggestive of squirm-
ing heap of tiny baby kittens are the
generous allowances of animal heads on
some OF the modish furs, but it is the
thing, SO the more bright-eyed, knowing
little furry heads the merrier.
Tails, too, are in high favor, one superb
coat of inferred mink being finished with
a deep fringe of mink tails and paws not
only around the bottom, but edging the
wide sleeves also. The effect is bit
tattered and Rip Van Wrinkle like, but
the style Is ultra smart and certainly
novel.
In another case twenty-four paws and
tails are attached to the narrow stock
collar of mink. the fringe of fur thus
made falling over shoulders, breast and
back nearly to the waist.
pretty use of animal heads is sug-
gested by two Of the tiny heads placed
