TRIMM1NGS of fur on hats are not
ed almost without limit. Both the
d long and short haired varieties are
in use. Skunk is, perhaps, the most
popular. Imitation seal is frequently
seen, and ermine and mole are much
used, in addition to real seal on high
class models. Skunk and opossum are
employed in wide and narrow bands,
the narrower bands being used like a
fringe on the edge Of the brim and to
outline the edges of loops or donkey
ears Of velvet, lace, maine, etc. FIRE.
quent use is made of a narrow roll Of
skunk, opossum, mole or ermine around

Not only are small turbans and close

but large trimmed models are noted en-

ECALLING the fashions Of Louis

dresses actually button down the

real lace. Another fastening at the
front crosses over to the left side and
fastens by two buttons just above the
waist, the trimming of the bodice con-
