strange orders, and one of the most strin-
gent is in respect to the trimming of all
fur coats. Entire costumes of sealskin
and baby lamb will be seen later in the
winter. At the moment the long coats
are to be considered. These are made on
the identical lines with those of cloth or
velvet, and are extremely graceful, et-
Ifective and becoming, while the lines OF
braid give slenderness and grace. Sleeves
are small in all fur coats, but it is a mis-
take, unless the garment is of the most
fanciful description, to have them TOO
small, as a fur coat is almost invariably
worn over a heavy waist, and then 1t rs

Popularity Of Ribbon Roses.

Popularity of Ribbon Roses.
nIBBON roses, which are new so
* markedly the favorite trimming for
new hats, are also given a de-
cided place on other parts Of the cos
tune. Some of the ways in which these
roses are employed are most remarkable
or would be so if 1t were not that we have
become so used during the last few
months to the eccentric and the bizarre in
every department of dress. One of the
ways in which these roses are used is to
decorate the Empire scarfs which are now
so fashionable. Strictly speaking an EN-
pire scarf is perfectly straight aitair,
unshaped and untrimmed save by fringe
or embroidery. There are new scarfs,
however, which are quite broad and are
taken in between the shoulders right in
the middle Of the back, being pleated to-
gether under an enormous rose. The scarf
/ is then drawn around the figure below the
shoulders and tied over the bust, where
there is another large rose OF silk. satin
or velvet. The roses are of exactly the
same material as the scarf and the scarf
needs no ether garniture.
Striking in the extreme is the use OF
the large ribbon rose as skirt decora-
ton. One such was shown on chiffon
lfrock in pale gray. The frock was
trimmed with braiding in black soutache.
The gown was tucked vertically from the
bust line 10 some distance below the hips.
Then there was plain interval, and be-
meath this a band of braided chiffon
Then more plain chiffon, on which was
set q crushed sash of silk going around
the skirt just below the knees and thread
ing under a long back panel Of the
braided chiffon. The ends of this sash
were then brought through the centre of
this back panel and formed into large
silk rose. Certainly the effect was as
unique as 1t was fashionable.
These enormous silk or satin roses are
also used around che shoulders OF opera
IcIoaks and to outline the sleeves, or rather
the armpieces. An evening cloak made
of gray satin had a guimpe of lace, and
dividing this guimpe from the rest OF rne
garment was a wreath of very large TWO
toned gray satin roses. There We're
sleeve pjeces of draped satin finished with
the roses used as a border. The roses
began high up ON the cloak on either side
of the narrow back panel.
In fact, whether it be on the corsaee
TO mark the slashing of skirt. to outline
euimpe or a sleeve, there are few items
of a wornan's wardrobe in which these
large made roses may not now base
part. Nevertheless, they are not always
to be depended upon to be becoming. For
instance, it is not every woman who can
stand wreath Of these rather ponder
ous blossoms around her shoulders and
not look awkward, and, if anything, It is
even rarer to find woman whose figure
will be improved or will appear at its
best when fat satin rose is nesting bo-
tween her shoulders.

we'll against the dark brown of the fur,
and if the coat is intended for theatre or
evening wear, as are SO many that are
made up for this season, the white fur
is by far the best trimming.
LAMB AND CARACUL FASHIONABLE.
Baby lamb, caracu1 ana astrakhan
have been fashionable for SO many years
that it was supposed they would be quite
out of favor this winter, but, strange to
say, they are still most popular, and
there is no end to the different models OF
coats that are made in these furs. The
mort-ne breitschwantz make up the most
satisfactorily into any of the more elabo-
rate models, for the pelt is so much lighter
and thinner that it can be more easily
worked into shape, and, in truth, it is
treated exactly as is velvet cloth or satin
and is also most elaborately braided and
embroidered. This last addition seems
quite unnecessary when the beauty OF
the marking is considered, but Dame

This, however, be it understood, refers
only to the simpler, more practical styles.
The elaborate caracul coat is braided

Long haired furs are being made up
into coats much more this winter than
last, and certainly are far more attractive
and becoming than they ever were. Fol
the present fashions in the narrow skirt
ed, high fitting skirts and waists make
the figure SO much more slender that it is
now possible to wear such furs and yet
not look unfashionably large. Sable
mink chinchilla and the newly discov-
cred, or newly named, fox skins are
all utilized and are made up into the
most effective of half fitting, medium
length and long coats. The dyed squirrel
is a favorite fur again for this fashion,
while in the short haired species comes
once more the moleskin, which this year
is especially attractive with the new and
most popular shades of cloth. 1t might

for ordinary street wear 1t is wisest tc
choose with care the style of coat and to
examine into the weight of the skins to
be used.
Sealskin, the real or imitation, is fuI
that in itself is effective without the -ad'
dition of any trimming, but in these days
of overelaboration is often braided and
heavily trimmed, while touch of eoloI
is often cleverly introduced into collar
and waistcoat, just as in the cloth coats
1t has always been fashionable to COM
bine other furs with sealskin, and the
fashion still prevails. The long half fit
ting coats have facings, collars and cuffs
of sable, chinchilla or lynx. The latter
perhaps the most popular of all, is GER
tainly the most practical. Ermine looks

that are more becoming or satisfactory.

and cuffs of different fur. Some are ao-
solutely plain and rely entirely upon the
beauty of the fur and the perfect cut and
fit of the garment for the smart effect
that is demanded of all satisfactory
clothes to-day. Sealskin, real and imlta-
ton, has once again attained to the helght
of popular approval, and, while the price
of the genuine article is prohibitory to the
great majority, it requires an expert to
determine the imitation in many cases.
There is one objection that the imitation

The transparent yoke is also much more

costume the harmony of the gown is as

had been introduced into the guimpe.
Sometimes it is found more becoming to
have the background of the braiding of
lighter shade of chiffon, net or lace
than the gown, the braid then pulling the
two tones together harmoniously; On
