ionable shops. The long, all-envelop-'
ing coats of fur are here again this
season. more luxurious and e~xtrava-
CANT thai ever, though many good
looking models are made up in the
less expensive furs.
Seal is to have another season of
popularity, the French or imitation
seal of good quality being used for a
majority of the coats, genuine seal hav-
ing become too rare and too expensive
for any general use. Moleskin is an
other short hair, silky pelt which has
been restored to favor and is made up
into exceedingly attractive long coats
Big collars of long haired fur are the
rule, and often the long fur is used
also for cuffs and for trimming on the
coat bottom, the latter put on in a
straight band or rounding up and mar
| rowing to points in the front. Some
times, too, one sees the coat fronts
| rounding away at the bottom and two
| narrow bands of long fur set on at a
distance of eight or ten inches apart.
The square sailor collar in the back

lively, but chiefly in the supple short
haired furs such as chinchilla, ermine,
seal and mole.
Gorgeous ermine coats are trimmed
in seal, but the handsomest of the err
mine models are in combinations OF
plain and spotted ermine or in all white
ermine trimmed in huge collars of sa-
Bile. The practical ~broadtaiI is OF
course in the field, but here again one
usually finds the collar of long fur.

and great quantities of fox in all col

small furs. Marmot is one of the new
favorites, and skunk is still extensive

In many of the fur-trimmed froch
models the fur is used in a fashion
more unusual than the mere trimming
bands with which women are familiar
One French frock, for example, was OF
very dark brown satin crepe, a VERT
able seal brown. There was a jaunty
short coat of the crepe with collar
suffs and big round bottoms of seal fur
Below the coat appeared d tunic of the
crepe, it's breadths crossing in front to

a skirt of sealskin and a narrow line OF
the fur shows all around the bottom OF
the skirt, though the crepe tunic drap-
cry almost entirely covers 1t.
The use of velvet for trimming in
creases day by day and velvet costumes
are numerous wherever imported mod
els are shown. Little frocks of velvet

without trimming are made up for aft

heavy, bold kind, is perhaps the mos

cords of satin or silk are sometimes
shaped into fat discs or other orna-

buttons and narrow lines of fur are
