usual. a great favorite. The rarer
kinds. such as silver fox, are so high
priced that they are out OF the ques-
ton for most women, but luckily
there are other varieties almost as
beautiful though lot so rare. Sitka
fox tipped to look, like silver fox is
extremely handsome. and in this day
when practically all furs are dyed
more or less the old prejudice against
the dyed and novel effects has passed.
A SET OF The silyer.tipped Sitka made
up with a deep grayish brown velvet
that toned in perfectly with the fur
was one of the most attractive Offer
ings in small furs in one OF the shops
and there was also q stunning nov.
city in white fox a1J fisher that won
great admiration.
Fur coats are on view in all the
familiar shapes of last season, but
among the imported models there are
some new things, and probably as the
season advances there will be many
others. One hears . good deal about
experiments with halflength fur
coats and boleros and Russian and
Directoire cuts, but after all the fan.
ciful fur coat can only be INDUCED in
by the few. The average woman who
spends money for a good fur coat
wants something that will be service
able for many seasons. and buys con-
seryatiyely in consequence.
Moleskin, which became one Of the
most popular coat furs last winter,
seems headed for another successful
season, and those who bought fearing
that the fur might be merely the fad
of a single season will have reason
to congratulate themselves. Mole Is
to be very popular for small furs too
and for scarfs OF the enveloping kind
that can hardly be classed as small"
Long draped coats of fine caracul
are numerous, the drapery being dis.
posed in long clingin lines and,
thanks to the suppleness of the fur,
hayin no hint of awkwardness. Pure
| white ermine collars are liked for
these balck fur coats and they often
are small laffairs turning away just a
little from the throat or closing quite
to the base of the throat.
The long separate coat Of fur for
late fall and winter will be the 81
inch type or longer. Side f%asteninss,
deep collars and reyers and dee2
cuffs will be evident. The use OF
contrasting lurs is exemplified in
nearly every model shown by the
leading furriers of Paris, and the
joining OF the fur is made so as to
give 9 striped effect. This is partic.
ularly attractive in m0leskin.
The cutaway line characterizes the
lower edge Of long coats. A pannier
hint is given by a curved, deep hem
that shows fur in a different direc.
ton. Innings are just as beautiful as
ever, some Of the coats being lined
with soft velour to make their
warmth doubly assured. Brocades are
in. vogue and are OF plain colors.
Heavy plain satins are practical and
rich in the dark blues, greens and
colds. 1t IS predicted that fur will
be USED a great deal for trimming
purposes and in millinery during the
coming season.
Fashion designers are strongly EN-.
phasizing the Directoire model in
suits and gowns. There is a jaunti.
ness about the cut, the lines and
trimming that give just the chic
to a costume. The combination Of
materials IS most easily carried out,
because OF the cuffs, the lalels and
collar with the vest and patch pockets
which characterize this style. But.
