High Prices of Silver.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10. = Nothing
could be richer in conception than the
winter street SUIT sketched today.
1t is made of velour de laine III the
wonderful new color called beon2e
citron. The fur pockets, collar, cuffs,
mufi and hat sre of gray squirrel. The
little close-tit-jng turhlI is relieved
with a trim of French violets.
The most noteworthy thing about
this suit is its absolutely simplicity OF
line. The soft belt Of self material
onto which the skirt of the coat is
gathered, as well as the suggestion OF
fullness in the coat proper, hints at
the Russian blouse which is so popu-
lar this season.
1t will be observed that the model
posing in this suit is also showing a
frilled waist. Though waist designers
have been trying for months to get
away from ruffles, it is impossible to
discard this dainty and attractive
style. Women cling to frills because
of their softening influence upon
every costume with which they are
worn. And with furs nothing is more
effective than just suggestion of fall
ing lace.
