For such wraps are at their regal

have the chance of making "A
triumphal entry into theatre or
opera house in, for example, coat
of tailless ermine, where the spot
less white skins are so manipulated
as TO curve around the figure and
follow the sweeping width of
shoulders and sleeves and the
closely enwrapped, upward drawn
sIenderness beneath. Not one touch
of trimming or color is permitted to
break into this outer marvel Of
modelling and wilderness, but when
the coat is flung open 1t is shown to
be AL glorious within" the lining
being of gold colored satin, shot and
brocaded with shimmering silver.
Another new creation and triumph
in tailless ermine, where again the
skins form encircling curves instead
of downward lines, is draped high
up on the left hip and there caught
into a bow ornament formed of the
fur. In this case, however, single
fox skin of pale amber shading is
laid fatty above the shoulders so
that its whole width is shown. The
contrast of color being further and
most fascinatingly completed by a
lining of softest SAKE blue brocaded

Cream caracul, trimmed with
white skunk, is also available-and

it's protective and decorative career.
And following all the upward
sweeps of the graceful wraps is a
very deep fringe of white chenille.
Two tassels to match are affixed to
the wide arm-openings at either side,
for actual sleeves there are none,
this being one of the many models
which thus simplify the task of ad-

completely satisfactory fashion.

Imagine, too, another coat whose
whole upper part is of the Bolivian
chinchilla, whose clear gray coloring
is so coveted-and so costly. The
downturned collar can be upturned
closely and cozily when so desired,
and the fronts, too, fastened far
over the left side, the same
line being then taken up by
tailless ermine beneath an en-
circling and uniting band of oXidized
silver lace which curves low down on
the back and over the sleeves and SO
across the front. And as gold, and
silver, too are brought together in
the lining, you do not need to be
told that the effect of this wrap is
positively regal.
Other ermine coats make eventual
and decorative use of the, at first,
banished tails as a bordering for the
fronts and the sleeves, while the
much favored fox skin will finish
them off at the neck.

complete skin with head and paws
and brush will be laid out fatty
about the shoulders, but only fas-

may be adjusted in several different

When, however, as so often hap
pens, the whole wrap is provided
with bordering of fox, all such
additions are banished, and only an
unbroken softness of fur is used.
Natural blue fox looks lovely when
it thus gives a finish to a gracefully
shaped wrap of white and black vel
