variety Of materials. On the figure,
chinchilla cloth is shown and that
material is much liked this season,
and it is always warm and always
comfortable. The belted coat with
high neck is made of beaver cloth
with velvet collar and cuffs.
THIS is coat that can be made
either with a hood or with
collar, and the two treatments
result in such entirely different
effects that really there are two
separate coats instead of one. Fun
damentally, it is just plain little
garment with shoulder and under
arm seams only, but the sash or
belt is arranged lin a quite novel
way. There can be slashes cut on
indicated lines through which one
or the other is passed, and in either
case, the result is most attractive
one and the coat thoroughly smart
and generally becoming. On the
figure, it is made of diagonal cloth
in shades of brown and is trimmed
with champagne colored broadcloth.

deep yoke and the upper one ar
ranged over it. Various materials
are pretty made in this way
chiffon taffeta is much liked, crepe
de chine is being much used and
for simple dresses, challis, alba

are charming.
THE simple coat is always the
best one for the small boy.

worn with open neck or be but
toned up about the throat and as
just a plain coat or as a belted one.
In fact, there are three quite diff

generous pockets. In one small
view, it is shown with the collar
worn high and with belt that is
passed all around. In the back

back only is confined by a belt.
All three styles are smart. For the

The evening costumes are always
Of interest. The latest to have ap-
peared give evidence of the, great
favor for rich metal brocades They
are Of necessity somewhat simple in
cut and in style, for material of the
sort is so superb of itself that it will
not allow of trimming to any extent
and must be used on comparatively
plain surfaces to give the best results.
A fascinating gown that makes good
example is Of white silk, richly and
heavily brocaded with silver. The
skirt consists of long plain tunic
slightly gathered at sides and back
and finished with a band of silver lace

tunic is seen a narrower skirt all OF

ss SHE Horse Show In New York
has opened its doors and is vastly
entertaining as well as brilliant.
N he opera will come next and we are
preparing therefor and there are all
sorts Of beautiful costumes to be seen,
not alone at the Show, but also on
v the street and displayed for the benefit
OF the many strangers who always are
in town during the week. As is COM
monty the case, fur makes really the
most important feature Of the costume
display. From time immemorial.
Horse Show week has been the date
ret for the opening Of the fur season.
II seldom is really cold enough to
make for real comfort. but weather
conditions are far too trivial to be
allowed to hamper the world of
fashion. and fur coats, fur trimming
and the high, enveloping collars Of
fur are being worn with great eclat
and distinction. For evening wear.
the loose, ample wrap is the accepted
one and It is to be met in every avail
abie7sdn from erinine to squirrel. For
the street coat, the redingote is a
much liked model and redingotes are
found in such fur as seal and also are
Conspicuous made Of velvet combined
With fur. A notable one, for example.
is Of black velvet, richly embroidered
With k1id AID silver and combined with
breitSchwshtz. A very superb coat
Of 'ssal Shows ''Chin- Chin" collar
and deep cuff Of spotless ermine, and
there are numberless evidences OF
SIMILAR combinations An exceedingly
handsome redinsote met early in the
week Was OF Hudson seal in Russian
style with wide belt Of the fur and
very full, faring skirt. 1t was finished
with exceedingly high "Chin-C Chin
collar and deep cuffs Of skunk. Caracul
lends Itself to the redingote idea and
the making of plated and draped
effects with marvellous success. The
shorter coats for the street take
great many different forms. A notable
one is jacket Of seal with loose,
raglan back and high collar that rolls
over to reveal lining of errnine.
Smaller fur pieces take the form of
searfs and of collars and the scarfs
are worn most interestingly. The
long straight one that we used to
know as 'directoire'' is to be seen in
a variety Of skins and is worn with one
and wound closely around the throat.
while the other hangs loose from the
left shoulder down nearly to the hem
Of the skirt. A very smart and beau
liful model is of white ermine of the
tailless sort. combined with narrow
strips Of seal and was carried with
round muf to match. The wide scarfs
Of shorter length are many of them

finish can be made at either the raised

In the illustration, broadcloth is
trimmed with braid, but the model is
good one for all seasonable materials

The skirt that combines plain body

the smartest and best liked Of the sea
son. This one can be made with a
body portion showing straight edge
as it is here or with shaped front
edge. The collar can be turned up
about the throat or down over the coat.
The very wide bell-shaped cuffs are ex-
