FUR STOLES

| II the same set Of furs must be worn
for the morning and afternoon, the stoles
would probably be more useful than the
| ties or small collarettes Any OF the
/ fashionable furs may be used for these
stoles with good results. The most
/ striking sets are those Of civet cat. the
white markings showing boldly against
! the dark. furry background. The pref
TEST sets are those OF fox, whether the
! blue. the silver tipped or the red, the
/ taupe for the street and the white for
more formal wear.
In these stoles one finds many combina-
tons of fur which should offer sugges-
tons to the woman possessing a stole of
other years whose style marks ii as an
ancient product wide edging band Of
another fur would bring such stole well
TO the fore In the sartorlal picture. on
| the other hand, the woman who is buying
a new set OF furs will probably receive
better value by selecting set composed
OF similar pelts. rather than combina-
ton Of two different kinds.
A SENSIBLE STOLE.
A sensible idea that has been worked
out I'm the new stoles is making one end
of the stole longer than the other and
slashing this end. The shorter piece is
then thrust through this slashing, and
the stole is drawn snugly to the throat
as II by a slip knot. Other stoles are
made with long ends. which may be worn
as the ingenuity OF the wearer suggests
and the girl with a knack for dashing
effects succeeds in swinging the ends
around her neck and across her Shout
ders in a careless-but in reality we'll
studied-effect. which is the despair OF
her friends.
Some Of these stoles are so generous in
proportions that they are more on the
order OF scarves. One scarflke stole OBJ
served last week on the avenue. worn by
a well known matron who has just re-
turned from Paris, was adjusted in a
truly novel way. II suggested the sashes
worn by diplomats of foreign countries,
crossing from the left shoulder 10 the
right hip, where the ends were carelessly
knotted. There was little protection for
the chest against chilling breezes. but the
followers OF fashion seldom heed common
sense precautions in following its die
tateS. Otncf SCuTNts, OF SlOlcS, are SO
enveloping that they may be worn as
coats. The drawing shows a stole OF this
type I'm civet cat. IL Is crossed In the
front and again In the back, suggesting
the jockey coat from which It takes its
name. For the mild days, which rejoice
the heart even during the most strenuous
winter. such II garment should be sufii-
GENTLY warm.
To add just the correct touch to the set
OF furs one should acquire Il spray OF
flowers in a daring combination of color
