lynn A Snec Investment This Tall.
The fashionab'o black fur this sea-
5on Is lyry. This pclt has completely
stouldoreJ black fox into tho back
~ round, it WAS worn last year by the
very fashiOnoblos and by Christmas
time will DO ut th~ height Of style.
Skunk IS always % safe pelt to select,
Cor this fur Is 60 beautiful In color
and texture that It's vogue is assured
1t Is one OF the most valuable trim
ming furs also. but many women OBJ
sect 10 the odor which results from
no natural cause but from the strong
chemicals used in preparing the fur
.2r the market. After a month It
fades away but at first it is apt to
10 bit unpleasant. Blue fox is
most beautiful fur--and very ex-
pensive one too---but there Is no fur
more soft and becoming to the face
Rose fox, q trine less in price. Is fiat
tering to youthful women but with
gray hair it Is a little trying. Cross
fox is much liked by younger women
because of the tawny tone at the CEN
ter of the pelt. This fur has a DASH
ing character and gives color to a
dark tailored costume; it Is particu-
larry charming on young girls and is
the debutantc's own fur. A handsome
set Of cross fox, pictured. accords we'll
with a trotter frock Of faille and tat
feta silk in two shades of green.
Animal Scarves Again The Craze.
This cross fox set illustrates the re-
newed vogue Of natural fur arrange
ments. Brushes and animal heads are
tremendously fashionable again and
not only neckpieces. but muffs also,
are trimmed lavishly with swinging
tails, heads and paws. There is a
luxurious suggestion about the big
neckpicce that Is lacking in the tiny
fur collaretto. however chic the latter
may be, and in the fox furs particu-
larly, the natural arrangements arc
very handsome.
The set Of black lynx is another ex-
ample of the favor for brush trimmed
scarves and muffs. 1t will be observed
that the muff in this set Is not largo
In actual sze-the small muff, we'll
rounded, is now the thing. An entire
animal skin was used for this lynx
muff, the head end paws falling over
one side while the big brush swings
at the other. The ckpiece illustrates
the new way of wearing q brush
trimmed scarf. One end must now
fall as low as possible, either at back
or front Of the figure, while the fur
around the throat Is worn rather close.
And speaking of long, dangling
scarves, there seems to be a promise
that tho fur boa of ancient fame will
be revived. A few fur boas with
ends that fall clear to the knee are
being shown by exclusive furriers, but
as no furs have as yet been seen on
the street, this September weather, one
cannot actually say that long boas are
In fashion. 1t is said, however. that
they will be the rage by mid-winter.
The black lynx set. handsome as 1t
Is itself, owes much to its background,
for it is worn with a very chic little
tailleur of dark blue and green
checked worsted. capped by an even
moro chic little turban of black velvet.
Lynx Is such a dense black that it Is
apt to be too DID," worn with
black costume; but accompa MED by a
color that sets It off to advantage, 1t
is charming even on girlhood.
Astrakhan For The Tailored Costume.
Though the scarf and mum set Of
gray astrakhan lacks something OF the
grace and luxury of a long haired fur
set. it possesses great distinction and
Bmartncss. worn as Il Is, with n severe
~ tailored suit Of gray and white
mixed worsted. The little hat Of white
satin with ospreys Enthusiastically crossed
at the front, also gives distinction 20
the gray fur a black hat in this
Instance would not be half SO smart
and captivating. The astrakhan muff
is III the very latest shape-round and
SOFT and rot very largo IN size. The
7eckpiece Ia cravat-snapcd, one end
passing through n loop in the other
end ard a smart tab Of tho fur ex-
tending toward the right side Gray
astrahhan Is admirable, also, with
hunters green broadclotk. It should
not be worn with brown, plum or any
reddish shade. II Is not ono OF the
fIrs that ere practical, since II looks

As O. matter OF fact, tho fashionable

far sets; one Of lynx for dark blue
