Wolf and Fox Promise to be
Favorites

A few seasons ago nobody would
have thought OF wearing the reddish
brown pelt Of the humble fox of fence
corners and fields. If his coat ever
found place in the attire Of the fash
ionables. il was disguised by dying
and appeared in black or dark brown
hue Now red iox--introduced by
Poiret--is tremendously modish and is
entrancingiy becoming to women with
red glints in the hair or brown glints
in the eyes. This season when gay
colors run rampant, red fox promises
to be tremendously the thing, used
with fabrics in Futurist and Post I'm
pressonist colorings.
Cross fox, which has soft yellow
ish tone mixed with brown, also prom
Uses well with brown costumes; and
an old favorite revived is otter, which
shades from deep glossy brown to
a warm chestnut. Wolverine has
broad stripes Of yellowish brown on a
dark brown ground Fitch is an or
ange hued pelt overiaid with black
hairs Wildcat in yellowish brown
tone, is shown by some Paris furriers,
and one couturier is showing CHINA
mon bear, a pelt whose color has the
soft. warm brown suggested by its
name. Sable is, of course, the SUI
premely aristocratic brown fur but
sable is now beyond the reach of aver
age purses. 1t comes from Russia,
and the Duina has decreed that no
sable shall be trapped for three years,
since this beautiful fur has been
threatened with total extinction.
Leopard for Smart Motor Coats.
The really smart fur motor coat this
winter will be of tawny leopard skin,
with the dark brown stripe which runs
down the leopard's backbone, coming
at the center back of the coat. Gen
uine leopard is very costly and the
pelt is anything but inconspicuous in
appearance; but this is a season of
conspicuous effects; and no style

whose purse strings will stretch gem

inc leopard slsin--a very different pelt
from the French civct cap which
sometimes masquerades under the

Belts VIII Give Smart Lines to Fur
Garments

Moleskin is to be as fashionable as
ever, say the authoritative furriers,
but the new moleskin wraps and
coats have distinctive style that
marks them as OF the new season.
The wide belt and straight. simple
cut OF this moleskin coat are partic T.
larly modern and the use of the petit
in alternate strips running in opposite
directions gives a very handsome ef-

Fetching Wrap Styles of Fur.

The full-length fur coat seems to be
doomed and in its place reigns the
graceful and coauettsh hip wrap,
hugging the limbs closely and fasten-
ing far across TO one side, at the front.
These graceful little wraps are prom
ised an enormous vogue, and very
pretty they will look. one believes,
over draped frocks lifted bit at the
foot Some of the little wraps already
exhibited by the furriers are of Hud-
son seal; some are OF moleskin
Others are OF broadtail or caracul
with gay little nccktics of crmine. A
very handsome wrap of black brocad-
ed plush, worn at the French races,
had narrow border of skunk around
the lower edge the coat wrapping
across the figure, one front being lift
ed and caught against the opposite
hip under a cord ornament Collar
and deep cuffs were of ermine edged
with skunk. These wintry wraps are
slipped on at the French watering
places over filmy frocks of machine
embroidery and lace; and sometimes
an embroidery frock shows touch of
fur trimming at tunic hem or sash
end.

Animal Effects, Pillow Muffs.

One of the prettiest fur sets that
has been shown at the opening of the
season is in the truly animal effect
both as to shape and to coloring--
made of natural lynx, which has a
most charming color scheme, a soft
ened grayish bloom over the spotted
surface, beneath which is the deeper
yellow that gives famelike richness
to the surface This particular set
retained the animal shape in short
neckrpiece in which the tiger eyed
head and The rich fluffy tail fefi over
the shoulder, the white edges Of the
fur making a softness against the face,
and eliminating any tendency TO hard
ening OF the lines. The muff was
quite different from the effect OF the
neck-piece. for it was merely big
plain pillow shape, showing off the
beauty Of the fur to the utmost ad-
vantage. the white fluffy part at the
edges. in place of any added velvet
trimming,
Since this set was from one Of the
most exclusive OF houses, il is an
argument in favor of the high style
of the animal scarf and the big pillow
nuff even in dressy models, though
to be sure this detail is to be decided
by the individual taste of the woman
of fashion, since even the makers of
styles cannot dictate what is to be the
most becoming, and the woman who
asserts her individuality. even when
adhering close 10 the lines of the
