of the plush.
A new fur is being exploited in Paris
principally by Drecoll, and is plain,
ordinary, every day goat! We have
heard of cat and we have become used
to monkey, but goat is hard to imagine
as being an artistic addition to our
latest frocks.
Coats are being made of camel's
hair cloth, wool velour, velvet and fur
cloth. For the sports coat or suit,
tweeds are both ~serviceable and
smart.
The coats to suits are all lengths
from the short eton and bolero jack.
cts to long coats reaching to the bot
tom of the skirts.
Fur collars and cuffs trim almost
all coats and in place of the fur often
fur cloth is used. The cloth SO close
ly resembles fur that it is almost i'm.
possible to distinguish the difference,
except by the feeling.
A ~wine-colored velvet suit was
trimmed with thick cords of the velvet
running around the waist, giving a
very military effect. A large velvet
button, embroidered in fine steel beads
finished each cord, while the large
collar an cuffs were of chinohilla fur.
RaccOon fur trimmed a suit of beige
panne velvet combined with broad
cloth. The wide circular skirt was of
broadcloth, with fiat folds of the same
stitched on the skirt from waistline to
hem. The cutaway coat was of panne
velvet with long tails in the back. The
trimming of this coat consisted Of a
fine embroidery in blue silk floss.
Belts of fur on many coats are ex-
tremely smart.

the frock illustrated, with it's smart
short basque and banded long tunic,
is especially suitable. The develop
ment is in black broadcloth with
braiding on the front, on the cuffs, and
in band effect, around the bottom of
the skirt.
The oddly shaped hat worn with,
this costume is made of black velvet
and is bound around with bronze gold
braid. This is a becoming and smart
finish to many of the velvet hats of the
season.
For solid comfort as we'll as good
style there is nothing like the second
illustration. Both plain waist, which
buttons up the side in the most ap-
proved Russian fashion, and the mod
|erately wide pleated skirt are develop
ed in dark green serge. The revers,
cuffs, and sash are of striped silk in
autumn colors, which adds a season
able touch to the costume.
The aunty hat completing this cos
tune is a blocked felt hat, trimmed
with ostrich plumes having the stems
wired to stand up, and the fronds curl
ing about it to take away the stiffness.
The type of gown widely shown and
aptly called the "daguerreotype' style
has a quaint, irresistible charm. One
such dress of brown silk poplin re-
minds one distinctly of Civil War pic
lures. The skirt is full and has bias
bands that go round and round the
figure, With this is shown a coat of
velvet, which curves in at the waist
and flares at the hips, and buttons
straight down the front with bullet
shaped buttons.
Another stunning dress of this same
variety was worn by ar unusually fine
looking elderly oma The bodice
was a short basque, having points at
the front of the waist, and the skirt
