Long Scarf Is Very Chic.
The long straight scarf Of which we
have spoken is very chic in the skunk
and bear furs. which have great vogue
and are moderate enough in price 10 be
within the reach of the average woman.
With It goes the big muff. usually in the
soft, fat, pillow form, though OCCASION
ally one sees hugo. quaint. round muffs
in these long-haired furs.
The gray Australian opossum or AIDE
laide chinchlIa" IS also liked for scarfs
and muffs of reasonable price. and this
faddlsh fur is combined. too, with the
richer furs in costly sets. Opossum and
seal are a very popular combination, and
al effective one as well.
Seal and genuine chinchilla are often
used together, too, and one sees ermine
and seal, ermine and breitzschwanZ,

pure white ermine, and sable and skunk
combined with any and every fur.
Moleskin having regained a certain
prestige, Is used not only in coats, but
also in neck furs and muffs, usually In
some fanciful form, and is much liked
for the fur and chiffon and fur and vel

the season.
When one begins 10 describe these fancy

with one another in the designing of
these accessories, and the lucky woman
who can order what she will should have
sets Of this sort TO match her different
costumes, wearing the scarf and muff
with her visiting gown after slipping OF
the luxurious fur coat, which is too heavy
TO be worn in the house. or. If instead OF
fur coat a costume coat goes with her
toilet, then a scarf and muff to match
are more than ever the thing. That they
are as handsome as handsomer furs no
one will contend. but they fill a different
place. and on many occasions and with
many toilets are really more effective
than the handsOmer furs.
Possibilities Are Numerous.
Limitations OF space forbid more than
few hints Of the fancy FUR possibilities.
but one might multiply these suggestions
thousandfold and still only touch the
edges Of the subject. so varied are the
models.
Yelling of one kind with another is
favored here as in the province OF
frocks. and deliclously soft colorings are
obtained In this way. A beautiful rich
blue liberty under sheer black chiffon
with bands Of black fox, or Of DARK
brown furs. makes a stunning mun and

Chilla was another successful set achieved
by the same furrier.
Sometimes the chiffon Is laid plainly
on the foundation; sometimes It IS pulled
or pleated. An idea often illustrated is
that OF vertical lines Of fur bordered by
tiny pleated frills Of chiffon or satin,
