celebration OF a season Of plcnty-at least

colors - the more lusclously parplc the
grapes, the more rosy checked the apples,
the more russell and golden the pears-so
much the better. "A very effective yet
dainty and elegant Thanksgiving table
can be arranged with one of these pump

show on the way to G. ball or other
private entertainment, and altogether
boxes to satisfy the woman who coaxes
her husband to take her to the horse
show just to see the styles
Before horse show week furs may be
donned. if the weather is cold enough,
but they are not at all an essential
part Of the toilet. After horse show
week winter styles are presumed to be
firmly established and furs are worn,
whether or not Jack Frost sees fit to
make the air chilly. Women parade
around the arena at the show fairly
loaded down with magnificent furs,
with temperature of Indian summer
outside. If need be the coat or other
wrap is checked at the cloakroom win
dow. but the furs, never. The fur fea-
ture Of the show. however, is always
the display of superb coats, and TIE
very newest Paris models in sealskin.
chinchilla and other costly pelts are to
be seen. This year fur Is extravaganza
ly fashionable, as was clearly evidenced
at the Grand Prix du Automne in Sep
TENDER, when the superb fur coats,
wraps. hats and muffs were the talk OF
the town for forty-eight hours after
ward. Sealskin grows higher and
higher in price with each succeeding
year. and now sable is almost prohib-
tive in cost. since the decree of the
duma against the trapping of seals for
three years. So much fur is used in
garments and trimmings now that the
Isupply is exhaustfvely drawn upon, and
inevitably all pelts must bring much
higher prices.
A gown and wrap intended for horse
show wear this month are illustrated
The wrap, of chinchilla, is matched by
large muff and modish toque. The
exquisite beauty of the fYf and it's ar

The Side. FriA Fad.

THE; side frill OF tie present is finely
! plated muslin Or lace set on Il band
or stem which runs down the center of
the bodice front, while the friil falls to
the left often extending to the shoulder
point at the, top and narrowing US x de-
scends. These frills are worn with low
cut coats, hiding tho left lapel and left
side Of the coat There Is also the double
frilI, which when adjusted falls in jabOt
style perhaps on one side, perhaps or
both, and still newer, is the side frill.
which has l. reyers at the other side or a
revers turning back over the frill. Some
times the friH is a complicated double
affair, Il double plated jabot falling in
the middle front while from beneath its
folds a wide side frill falls over the left
side Of the blouse or bodice.
Frills OF net and fine laces are perhaps
the fullest and 6aintiest of all. though
for lingerie blouses the frill OF lingerie
materials is the thing. The latter at its
best Is a thing of cobwebby muslin and
real lace in yalencienneS, Irish, filet or
even point de Venise.
Smart-looking frills are shown, too, that
have but lit lie lace or none at all enter
ing into their designs. The plating Of
embr oidered on it's edge and the band
to which it is attached may be embroid-
cred, too
Malines are also used for wide frills, at
tached to bands Of heavy lace, and If ex-
ceptionally wide the plaits are cut down
at about a third of their width by tiny
buttons. Narrow frills OF fine dotted tulle
finish the edges of many charming plated
frills of plain tulle. Extremely modish
are the side frills of lace, or net and lace
combined, approaching as nearly as pos
sible the yello">tcne acquired by genuine
old lace.

red ribbon laid on in layers. These flow

smart decoration. The muf was lined In
sealskin Some Of the muffs are OF the
open envelope shape, the corners being
finished with tiny tassels or with fringe
made by threading simple porcelain, crys-
