Fur is to be found upon almost every

existing conditions, with many of the
markets closed, it is a little difficult to

the pelts are obtained, they are being

are the general ones. Even the sim

cuffs are edged with one inch wide
bands of white fur. 1t is by no means

broidery to be found every contraut
from the simplest to the most ornate
sort.
For afternoon costumes, there is
very noticeable tendency toward using
bits of very brightly colored silks in
combination with quiet toned cloth
materials such as velvet and the like.
An attractive gown of terra Gotta cloth
shows the main portions of the bodice
of the terra Gotta silk, showing plaid,
formed with dark blue and black and
a few lines of red and yellow. A young
girls costume shows dark blue velvet
combined with rose red satin, and in a,
thousand different ways the tendency
is apparent.
Shocking is being extensively em.
ployed in a great variety Of ways. A
very handsome afternoon trock of
simple sort, is made of blue serge,
with the front edges of the bodice, the
collar and the sleeves embroidered
with red and blue wool, combined with

employed and the embroidered, tho

Braid combined with narrow bands OF
fur makes an exceedingly beautiful
trimming and one that is much liked,
and since the fur may be anything
that gives the effect, it does not neces-

possible kind Of skin has been called
into requisition, and when furriers are
clever in dyeing and in handling, they
can produce all sorts of wonderful

WHETHER or not it is true as
w has been limited, that the very
~ great vogue of silk for the
coming season, is at least in part due
to the shortage of wool materials, the
silk fabrics are marvellously beautiful,
1narvellously varied and wonderfully
interesting. There are new velvets
that in the piece are a delight, while
one can think of them as being made
into costumes of extreme elegance. A
variation of the chiffon idea is what is
known as velours rave, or narrow
striped velours, all of one color or
sometimes in two shades Of one color
and with exceedingly narrow stripes.
Monkey skin velvet was referred to in
an earlier letter and is being shown in
most interesting colors and shades of
colors. The very wonderful brocaded
taffetas shown would seem to indicate
really lavish opportunity in the
matter of silver and gold, for metal
threads are conspicuous and are used
TO give most sumptuous results.
Striped silks take great many forms
and variations; there is every width of
stripe to be found from the pek;n to
the one that is two and one-half inches
wide. A new one shows satin stripe
combined with marquisette in the two
inch width and it is wonderfully hand.
some. and there are silks and satins
and silk and wool materials and silks
and velvets woven together, while the
velvet finished materials that are not
really velvet, are also adding to the
interesting collection. Simple, cotton
corduroy has been glori6ed and beauti-
fed into something really wonderful
and is shown in superb colors. with the
heavy rib fully three-eighths OF an
inch in width that is positively ideal
for coats, for wraps and in conbina-
ton with plain stuffs. 1t is to be found
in contrasting colors and in contrasting
shades OF one color and it is always
exceedingly rich and handsome. Some
of the striped silks and great many Of
the brocades look really over-luxurious
for their use, but clever dressmakers
are quick to recognize their possibili- y
ties and to give good effects notwith-
