Speaking of fur. this is going to be
a fur winter. Not only are the coats
trimmed with It. but It appears in
some fashion In the construction Of
the lightest and fiimsiest Of evening
gowns, to say nothing of the velvet
and silk dresses for dinners and teas.
A handsome dress recently seen Was
made of white bordered chiffon over
yellow satin. the bottom OF the skirt
and train and the bertha on the waist
edged with brown fur peeping out
from under a frill OF ieweled gold
lace.
Fur trimmings and accessories
were really introduced by marabout
and feathers. WHICH have been so
strongly entrenched In public affec-
ton, but which are now being bowed
out I'm favor OF their more substan-

dresses run rather persistently in the
dark shades. In view Of this the con-
