AVE W YORK.-Never in the his
III tory of fashion have the small
fur trimmed neck mum and hat
sets been so varied and SO be-
wttching as they are this season. Tho
materials in vogue lend themselves
delightfully."- to such purposes and furs
are to be had of SO many kinds and
1t such wide range of prices that
the fur trimmed set seems to be with
In almost any clever woman's reach,
though the smart little imported sets
showing decidedly clever and orig
inal features are priced % high that
they are but little less expensive. If
ut all, than handsome all fur neck and
mum sets.
At tho same price the latter are
Of course the more practical invest
ment. They are sure of at least a
few seasons modishness, while the
combination sets, owing their vogue
to the within of fashion, rather than
to intrinsic value, are likely to lose
their smartness with the passing sea-
son; but II a woman can make up a
pretty and effective set herself-and a
surprising number of women can do
that sort of thing-or can have one
made by some little furrier or milliner
under her own careful directions, then
the combination set is altogether de-
sirable and will give cachet to a SIM
pie costume.
Among the conventional neck and
muff furs the fox sets hold their popu-
larity. They are not of necessity ex-
travagantly high priced, though If one
wants to spend money one can dis
pose of very large sum in the buying
Of silver fox. Even the cheaper vari-
cites of fox when imported In fancy
and beautiful sets bring high prices;
but one can buy very good looking
muff and neckpiece of pointed fox or
white fox or dyed brown fox or even
good cross fox for price by no means
extravagant as prices of good furs

sonable.

Some of the limitations are not bad

enough to use for little touches
of trimming; but one must be sure t.
pay the price of imitation; and unfor
tunately one does not always find hon
esty in this regard. The reputable fur
riers are reliable in matters of thi'
kind, but importing milliners, dress
makers, ETC., are not invariably so
and only within the last week a won
an who purchased a velvet and er

shop noted for chic models and pal,
the price of real ermine was told b,

of that is to recognize your cat O

deal of the imitation fur is al

One of the most pleasing details O
the fur fad this fall Is the clever US
of fur in millinery and the piquan
harn.onizing Of hat and muff or O
hat, neckpiece and mum. The ides
to be sure, is now new. There hav
been fur hats and fur trimmed hat
before; but not within the memory O

No material is to filmy or too rio
to be combined with fur, and the mi
liners, going upon that theory, hav
produced sets for morning, afternoo

the woman who, like Mrs. Boffin @
blessed memory, Is "a high fiier afte
