white. On many garments the heads
and little black tails have been omit
ted altogether and large white satin
crochet buttons and braid have been
used for trimming instead. These
garments are in the dolman shape
and also in the loose coat style and
some in the fashionable cape designs
are trimmed with seal.
Ermine With Mink.
One ermine gown was shown of a
La Landi" design, with mink collar
and cuffs, the little black tails all over
the white fur in the usual spacing,
the coat cut square at the back and
slashed at the sides, and with long
pointed fronts. The lining was of
white brocaded satin and chiffon
These Innings, by the way. are chosen
by the customer when the garments
are purchased. and the temporary lin
ing is taken out and replaced by the
one chosen.
In the collection of furs were many
rare specimens of silver and black
fox as well as the finest Russian sa-
BILE.
After careful consideration the ideal
in the way of a coat seemed to be one
of soft, rich. dark mink, cut in Victor
ia model, semi-fitted, very long, with
a border of the stripes twenty inches
deep running around it; collar of the
heads and tails most artistically ar
ranged, and kimono topped sleeve,
with close cuff of heads and tails
like the collar.
The lining was of white brocade
and chiffon. The coat was marked at
$4,000. 1t was not so expensive as
some of the others, but it was the coat
for a gentle-woman. It's quiet ele-
gance stamped it as such, and the
buyer, to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, it could be worn on almost all
occasions without seeming more out
of place than the aristocratic face Of
the owner would look in strange sur
roundings.
With furs especially designed for
automobile wear for man, woman and
child, and fur coats even for babies,
Americans will certainly be a race of
fur wearing individuals this winter,
and one can almost fancy himself in a
Russian city instead of in New York.

Furs For the FdSfdi0us Are
Designed in Historic Styles

New York, Nov. 6.-Furs of all
kinds have in recent years become
such an important adjunct to my Ia
dy's wardrobe that dealers have
spared neither time nor money in de-
signing models perfect enough to
please the fastidious tastes of the
modern woman.
The revival of many picturesque
fashions adds great interest to the
imported garments, as well as the de-
signs made here for this seasons
wear The coats in the style of the
extreme Directoire and Empire per-
| iods, so popular last season. have
been rather superseded by those de-
signed from the Marie Antoinette per-
iod, while the huge muffs and the fur
fichus emphasize the peculiarities of
that period.
| There is an etiquette in the wearing
of fine furs, which was brought prom
inently to notice by a recent visit to

tive information about the seasons

and just a hint of disapproval at
suggestion that lone sort of medium

occasions"

Forthwith model after model passed
in review. A beautiful seal coat in a
modified dolman shape had a collar
of heavy bear and narrow cuffs of the
same, and was fastened just below the
| waist line with large crochet button.
A chinchilla dolman, although quite
loose in cut, was SO we'll shaped that
| it fitted the figure in a most grace
full way. These garments are longer
in the back than in the front and
have rounding fronts. Chinchilla is
very scarce in these days and is worth
almost kings ransom.
An alegardi model in Persian
baby lamb coat had the fullness at
the back gathered IRIS a handsome
ornament twelve inches above the
hem. which gave it an odd appearance.
A long Russian blouse of any of the
popular furs is one Of the seasons
novelties, which is suitable for a
walking coat.

De Wolf Hopper.

No play that De Wolf Hopper has
ever appeared in seems to have met
with the critical and popular approx
al as much as his new song comedy
the Matinee Idol" which he will
bring to the Gennett theater on Sat
urday evening. Hopper has been ap-
pearing for SO many years as comic
opera king that it will be interesting
to see him in a role which, although
closely fitted to his individuality, is
entirely different from anything that
he has ever done. Everywhere that
the new play has been produced 1t has
been agreed that he has found ve-
hicle for his talent that will last him
for years. and as he said in one of his
speeches recently, he must find 1t a
relief to be playing human being.
even though that human being is an
actor.
The Matinee Idol' the book of
which is by Armand & Barnard and
the music by Silvio Helm is really a
farce put to music. 1t has number
of extremely funny situations and
strange things for a farce, has been
praised for the excellent English of
the writing. Among our composers
there Is no one more tuneful. no one
better able to strike the popular lyric
note than Helm and in this latest work
he is said to have contributed his best
endeavors. There are a number of
song hits that show Helm at his best.
the more notable of them being Hop
per's own song, Let Me Build Nest
for YOU" 1.-THE Dancing Banshee' and
That's the Time for You to Co." One
of the things that have been most ia
vorably commented on is the fact that
this new song comedy has no chorus
men, but a score of the prettiest girls
that have ever come out of New York
City, and what is more, they can real
ly dance and really sing.
