years.
Long, close sleeves are used in the fur
coats, both long and short, which have
the first consul tendency. Short fur
models are built on the same general
lines chat distinguish the longer models
with very often hint of the directoire
in their design. Braid and buttons and
cord ornaments formed of braid or COW
erd with silk or satin are used upon these
short coats even more than upon the long
models. The Innings are chiefly in rich
soft satin and in the exquisite middle
tones instead of in white and vivid col
ors. The gold yellows are very success
full as Innings for sealskin and these same
tones are also cleverly used in some
handsome coats in brown caracal
