better class Of fur-fabric wrap came
into it's own. 1t was turned out by
exclusive couturiers, lined extensively
and trimmed with pelts that lent It
distinction by their company. Yet,

garment like 1t. but built of genuine

This season on account Of the war
in Europe, furfabrics are in enor-

their popularity last year, the makers
of these fabrics have brought out
many exceedingly beautiful patterns
and textures. OF these, the broadtail

valued for costume and wrap use by
the couturiers. Drecoll, especially
loves the soft, glossy black broadtail
with its broken moire-like surface and
builds of 1t whole costumes of great
elegance and distinction for his pa

a recent copy of a Drecoll broadtai
model. made with lambette which
closely initiates the texture and pat

the tunic, Is trimmed with pointed fo>

for the daintiness and richness of the
lining is an important feature of such
a costume.
