uniform, as it was a season or two
ago. The full length coat has been
obliged to share its popularity with
the coat of five-eights length, and
many chic models are shorter still,
while there are countless elegant fur
wraps of the cape and mantelet type.
Drapery has crept into the province
of furs, and while of course having
more limitations here than in frock-
dom 1t finds very charming express
sion in some of the lightest and sup
plest of the furs. Mole, for example,
drapes very well. Fine baby lamb
and caracul are easily handled, and
even ermine can be made to take on
graceful drapery lines.
The long, loose, straight fur coat, us
ually with collar of contrasting fur
is commonly chosen for motoring and
hard service, but the dress coat
when not draped, is likely to show
its vintage by some note in collar or
sleeves. 1t is fairly sure to have
fronts crossing and fastening we'll to
the side. Sometimes it has Russian
air, but more often the fronts cross
and are finished by a big
collar or by some sort of rolling col
lar echoing the lines so popular in
the frock' collars and separate collars
of lingerie, lace or net.
Certain short draped coats of sup
pie fur rounding away in the front
are launched by extremists who are
pushing the pegtop silhouette, but
they are by no means graceful even
for the slender woman and are not
likely to be taken very seriously by
the women in this country.

or longer, button up the left front,
close on the left shoulder and have
high collars finished at the top by
a narrow band Of contrasting fur A
model of this type usually is loosely
belted or girdled across the back, If
not all around, and the model, while
good looking if well worn, is becoming
only to the exceptional woman.
Many of the new fur coats are made
without collars for greater conven-
fence in the wearing of separate neck
furs. Innings are often of the hand
some brocades, and in some of the
most luxurious garments these Innings
are so rich in themselves that they
add greatly to the cost of the coat.
Fur wraps and draped mantels are
much in vogue, and are lovely if worn
over velvet or plush frocks without
other wrap or drawn about the Shout
ders when an evening coat or after
noon coat is discarded. They are
made up in various furs but are par
ticularly effective in ermine and, with
some costumes, are admirable in
mole.
The enormous straight scarfs are
still liked and are very cleverly worn
by some women who have the knack
of adjusting them, If skillfully ad-
justed such scarf may be substitute
ed for a coat
Street frocks, visiting frocks house
frocks, evening frocks, all call for
fur trimmings and if discreetly used
these fur trimmings greatly enhance
the beauty of any costume. So many
of the three-piece and two-piece Co.'S
tunes have fur about the throat that
there is an unusual call for hat and
muff sets without neck pieces to
match, but often the fur trimming is
kept away from the throat, so that
separate furs or sets with neck pieces
en- suite may be worn, and sometimes
the fur appears only in some one
place on the costume, perhaps a band
on the skirt bottom or on a tunic.
The grays, particularly in the dark

New York, Dec. 2..-The coming

for furs, which means, in view of the
prevailing tendency to utter extrava-
gance, that tremendous sums will be
spent during the coming winter

This winters modes admit great va
riety in the lines and general charac-

shades, are greatly liked. Ta,,nas
have been taken up too enthusiast
caily by the crowd to retain their
prestige and are seen in every grade
OF costume, but common as the color
now is, 1t has, in handsome materials
much cachet The dark iron sro,,
and gunmetal too are modish. though
more trying than the taupe shades
and there are some lovely SQUIRREL
and pigeon grays which make attrac.
tive trimming.
Inc browns are more popular than
IN many seasons past, and beautiful
new shades have appeared which are
hard to describe and to which no two
manufacturers or statesmen give the
same names. There are lovely tones
in maroon and dead leaf and tete do
negre and even seal, while among
the light shades such as sable and
burnt bread, etc. there is great and
charming variety.
The feature in all the materials used
for evening wear lies in the coloring.
During the last five or six years most
of the tints favored were vague In Ger.
tain lights, as they were very subj
dued. These recommended this seas
on are frankly decided and most he
coming. Excepting for girls, the ma
jority of dancing and dinner frocks
will have pointed trains made more or
less long, according to the occasion.
AS many of the evening gowns are
cut on Greek lines, the skirts, in this
instance, finish in narrow point bare
ly exceeding half a yard, and some
are even shorter The train conceived
in this manner gives a pretty finish to
the skirt, and becoming line at the
back, but does not impart dignity.
Coats and skirts of the simplest and
most severe types, intended only for
morning wear, are being carried out in
very vivid shades of purple and GRIM
son, colors which, by the way, are
doubly effective in velours de laine,
thhe iooSihaeih6 WHICH is 1llSI
now carrying all before it. Soft in
texture as a suede glove, velours de
laine is one of the most becoming ma
terials imaginable, and it is equally
effective when it is seen in plain col
ors, and when it is woven with wide
or narrow raised stripes in some con-
trasting shades, when the effect given
at little. distance is almost that of
the richest and softest corduroy vel
vet.
Lovely two-toned chameleon silk
brocaded in black is very smart for
dressy street suits. One famous de-
signer is using velvet closely dotted
with small squares in yellow and
emerald on what appears to be a dull
gray background. On close inspec-
ton it proves to be a very fine, hair
line plaid in green and yellow on a
white ground.
Very attractive dresses are made of
black velvet. With them are worn
long scarfs Of fur or chiffon bordered
with fur.
Sleeves in different material from
any part Of the dress are novelty, and
most charming are the long velvet or
damask sleeves which match the dress
in color and have soft frills over the
hand.
Many jaunty hats are decorated
with striped ribbon. For instance, a
seal brown plush sailor is trimmed
with a novelty striped ribbon in shades
of brown, orange and red.

~ as possible in the open air and sun
shine. Should you decide to paint the
furniture get well mixed paint, rather
thin. II paint Is too thick it will al

well to finish with coat of enamel to
make it last longer. Enamel does not
hold dust like ordinary paint, eonse-
