Fox is the Reigning Favorite

its general cut and style it suggests
that 1880 period, from which we are
drawing so extensively but in it's
finish and detail, it is our own. Charm
ing ones are made Of fur with silk
collars and the contrast of color makes
a good effect and becoming one.
Az a matter of course when wraps ot
such sort are worn. smaller ones also
will be seen but capes and scarts are
the favorites of fashion and they make
really smart wraps to be worn in COM
bination with spring and summer
gowns and with spring and summer
suits. Neck pieces that fit closely
about the throat would be over heating

those among us who can wear a scarf

Favorite skins are white fox. cross

to be worn. The genuine Empire

one. It Grapes the figure most grace

warmth is needed and it is 30 easy to

foxe. are however, largely shown in
the natural form. The white fox
always is dainty and especially adapted
to the younger contingent. Cross
fox is serviceable and rich in color.
We will see the brown fox, the blue
fox and the silver fox, used to certain
extent. Ermine with its pure lovely
white surface seems especially well
adapted to wear with summer costumes
and great many Of the empire scarfs
are shown with tails used only as
fringe. The absolute purity OF the
white means consumate charm. What
