~D II . y MAKERS change the
A. styles in furs only slightly each sea-
u son. and for this reason one seasons
furs are always good for the next.
and even the next season. for that
matter. There has been n new. natural. m
dyed seal produced for the coming season.
The long coats OF this material are often
trimmed with large bands of fur. Rich
fur scarfs with long mufTS will be much
worn with evening gowns. The less ex-
pensive pelts are made up In almost the
same styles. 1t has been dccreed that
fur cspes will be very fashionable during
the coming winter. Mink will be much
used in this line. and drum muff. orna-
mented with tails and a fur toque. will
complete the set.
Baby lamb has been used in the con-
structiOn Of n long coat This has n
military collar and is slit up the sides
TO give an odd effect. The slit parts are
laced with ribbon a part Of the way
down.
Furs have always been the Ideal protec-
ton for cold weather This has dated
from the very early days, when fur bear
ing animals were very numerous. peltS
were cheap and great coats were easily
manufactured. The questions OF fashions
In furs is an important one-the pelts
must be made 10 look attractive, yet

tanned. There will be many kinds of
skins used this season, probably a great
er variety than ever before. Then, again.
there Will he combinations different kinds
OF furs mixed to give a good effect
Often as high as three kinds Of furs
form a combination, but more often there
are only two. This idea is 4 popular one,
as well as practical. and comes from
Paris From the same fashion center
comes the idea OF combining lace and
chiffon with fur for the fall or early win
ter wear. The chiffon is used often as u
lining for sleeves. scarfs and vests, as
well as short coats. The fur part reSem-
bles n CLOSE fitting stole, and the chiffon
is softly friIled 10 give a pretty appear
ance.
The favorite furs !cr the coming win
ter will be the lynx. mink. fox and black
marten. Broadtail and erminc viii also
be used for special occasions. One of the
surprises OF the season is that chnchila
has been dropped from favor TO a certain
extent, Its place has been taken bv the
Australian opossum. Sable is ore of the
best furs, but Is supposed to lie well out
Of reach Of the average purse The pres
snt styles dictate that the skins lend
themselves readily without being cut for
the nun, stole or coat, and the Austral-
tan opossum, for this reason, is one OF
the best Of pelts. The skunk skin, an
american product, has never attained
the popularity it should have in this
country. For years Paris has taken mp
4he skunk pelt as a fashion, and the
iRsrisian women are never more pleased
than when they can obtain splendid
example Of the fne-furred skunk. In
paKis it is used for narrow band trim
innings, as well ms for the larger pieces.

The wrap lies fiat on the shoulders in
most instances. and the lining IS a very
soft one. This gives tho desired protec-
