Fur Coats Shorter This Season.
While the styles in fur coats do not
as q rule change much from year 10
year still there seems to be more
radical variation this year than for
some time. Due to the high cost of fur
the newest fashions in coats show
them quite short, some only to the
hips, while the longest only reach TO
between the hip and knee. For the ell
derry woman, who does not care Tor
these novelties, the coats are Of knee
length. The coats have been worn with
rather full backs for some time and
that mode still continues good but with
the fulress held down by belt. Some
times the belt appears only on the front
and again just in the back but the coat
must have a belt to be up to the min
| ute. Large shawl collars are the most
popular as they look nice when the
coat is left open or when buttoned up
to the neck. Most of the coats are
made with plain tight sleeves altho
some are bell shaped at the wrist.
Lovely Combinations in Coats.
Combinations of two different furs
are shown on most of the coats this fal
and some charming contrasts have
been worked out. Usually the body OF
| the coat is made Of one variety Of fui
| and the collar and cuffs of another
| while on some a band, like the colia'
| and cuffs. appears at the bottom. Ar
especially attractive coat of Hudsof
SEAL which, by the way, is dyed musk
rat and generally sold now under thai
name was made with shawl collar
and wide flaring cuffs, Of chinchills
squirrel. The color of this fur ADDS
youthfuness to fur which is usually
| worn by older women ....
