 Chinchilla Squirrel Another Successful
 Substitute.
 Since the real chinchilla Is almost extinct furriers have oestirred them selves to secure a substitute and the result is chinchilla squirrel--the cheap and easily procured squirrel pelt being dyed to initiate the silvery. striped chinchilla. Squirrel is so delightfully."- soft in texture, that, successfully dyed In this way, 1t makes a very pleasing substitute for real chinchilla, though 1t is slightly darker in tone.

leopard. Fox fur comes at score of prices, depending on the length and softness of the hair. the dressing of the skin, and the color. Fox may be dyed almost any color, but the bluish gray shades are most expensive. Just at the moment "orange" fox-which Is really no more or less than the plebeian little red brother of American fence corners-is at the pinnacle of fashion, placed there by Poiret; and this pelt will doubtless soon be as ex- pensive as that of the rare white Alaska fox.
 MoIeslsin One or Fashions Favoritcs.
 Taupe shades are this season the craze, and since moleskin is the only fur that exactly matches taupe. the skin of the tiny mole is at premium. Moleskin has been rather expensive since it's advent in the fashionable world few seasons ago. Before that 1t was used chiefly to trim carriage

brocades. A delightful mink coat, built for an American woman in Paris, has lining of buff brocade, with the tiniest possible pleatings set into all the seams like pipings. No more than a quarter inch of the pleating stands out from the seam-which is corded-and the lines of the garment are in no way interferred with by the effective lining trimming.
 The lining is also a very consplcu- ,ous feature of the fashionable huff, often forming part of the muff itself, the center only, being formed of fur. The huff lining usually matches the shade of the pelt, and some of the molesliin mufrs lined with shirred taupe chiffon or satin are extremely beautiful.
 Brown Furs Most Fashionable For
 Street Wear.
 Though the woman who owns a handsome set of black lynx or fox will undoubtedly take delight in wearing it, this winter. she who wears sable. mink. marten, skunk or bear will be more in accord with fashions man date: for just now the brown furs are most modish for street wear. Russian sable of course heads the brown list but this fur is almost beyond reach now, so scarce is it and so fabulously high priced. American bear is not a bad substitute for Russian sable and this pelt. while not extremely expen- sive, is very satisfactory. It is also so thick and long that little of it goes a long way in trimming.
 , There are no successful limitations of mink, though some furriers streak marmo with black paint in an en- deavor to producef the rich, striped ef- feet of the mink pelt After a month or two of wear however, the hand painted mink shows up for what 1t is and It's wearer is apt to wish she had invested in a. cheaper fur or franker substitute. Australian chinchilla is a very satisfactory pelt. if one cannot af- ford the fragile. costly real chinchilla; and civet is not a bad substitute for

Niceties for King
 Baby.

HR HE fascinating little afghans for X the baby's carriage are made of - white handkerchief linen. First a strip of the material is cut into three-quarter wide by one and one half yard long proportions. then a half yard of the length is turned back from what is to be the upper end of the spread. This turnover is daintily embroidered in white, and trimmed at either end with huge bows of pink or blue satin ribbon. The lower end is rather more closely hand embroidered and finally the entire af- ghan, including the folded over edge, is bordered with wide cluny put on hatly.
 One of the most substantial and ef- fective afghans is made of macrame, of appearance similar to those of handkerchief linen. But instead of folding over the top of yard and a half long strip of the macrane all over, the apparent turn back veils coarse unbleached net, and to this is attached the under section, after which the macrame edging is sewed fatly upon the sides of the entire spread.

KF YOU are in doubt about trim
 ming use braids and you will be
 highly approved by fashion, for V fashion has taken us back to braids and has exploited them In so many new effects and novel uses that we hardly recognize them as the trim ming of past seasons.
 The revivaF of broadcloth, serges and velyets smooth surfaces on which braids appear to the greatest advan- tage, has brought these trimmings in it's wake. Moreover many garments this season depend on their smartness of cut rather thu on much trimming and braid is the best sort of compro- mise between much trimming and no trimming. Then the peplum and Rus sian styles are in vogue again and there Is no trimming for the severe Russian costume quite so appropriate as braid. Even the most dressy of the afternoon costumes-semi-dre to be sure-show the most dainty use of all sorts of fancy braids in trimming combinations.
 Irregular and waved effects, wide and narrow, in the usual silk Hercules or in corded patterns are really the leaders of the vogue. giving an unusual but striking appearance. Among the novelties are chenille and wooden braids, woven very often in combi- nation of materials; fancy braidings and ornaments composed of silk cord or of soutache and applied to suits and to dresses as edging and as single trimming motifs. Metal is used in braids with the same rich effect that 1t is employed in so many trimming schemes this year--all gold or silver in plain or fancy design or gleaming metal threads enriching the weave of silk chenille or wool.
 In millinery, tailored trimming eff fects are wrought from braid with the smartest of results. Single braid bands. edges and prim little cockades

 picked up for song. Now that taupe is the favored color, moleskin is all
 most prohibitive in price and every scrap of the precious pelt is treasured. A fur substitute called velour du nord, comes in the soft pleasing taupe col bring and the pile of this fabric has the appearance of moleskin. A motor coat of velour du nord in taupe color Is pictured. The coat is
 built on very simple lines with a rounded cutaway effect at the foot and a snug collar that may be turned down
