One is not overwhelmed with fur this
season at the openings, although one sees
an amazing amount OF it on the streets
and at the theaters. Many OF the even-
ing gowns are trimmed with fur; mar
row strips of it such as skunk and er-
mine are worn on the edges OF the tuile
TUNES to give them more OF Wintry
effect than tulle gives unaided. II we
will wear a transparent fabric IN De-
cember. il is rather wise to cater to the
climate by adding dash of pottery.
Velvet is used for the majority OF
handsome wraps. Velvet in brilliant col
ors as we'll as in black which has deep
points Of beading running the entire
length OF the fgu' and great collars OF

looking affair of blue velvet and sable

The sleeves, for instance. form a muff.
They are cut large and square from ell

turnover cuffs. which increase the bulk
and give the appea! lance OF a mum "hen
