ORNAMENTAL BITS OF PELTRY.
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE

August does not diSmay them. Fur
mace air does not deter them. They
like the appearance of fur over the
shoulders or under the chin. They
consider it artistic.
Therefore. they have come to the
conclusion that the upper part of a
frock must be thinner and thinner in
order to serve as a foundation for
the hide of a beast. One can wear
tulle inside. you know. when the Their
mometer is zero outside. if enough
peltry is added to esta blish balance
And this is practically what women
do. There never have been so many
frocks worn in midwinter with bod
ices of net, chiffon and metallic lace.
That Omnipresenr Fox.
Now if a woman fixes her mind on
the use of fur in the afternoon over
a thin blouse, she will not be con-
tent to abide by a large fox swung
about the shoulders.
This may be artistic to certain eyes
and it is quite comfortable and con-
venient no one denies, but it is COM
monplace. Everybody who has had
any money to invest in a bit of pei
try has bought a fox. or something
that goes by that name. Cats may
have served the purpose. common

not be too cynical when thing looks
well and meets the money in our
purse.
However the fox as a novelty has
had its day. One may pay $1,000 for

is merely a piece of hide with hair
growing on it. but the effect is al

If not the fox, then what? That
is the question. Women have an

ingenuity has been shown. Odds and
ends. of peltry have been taken to
small furriers and combined with
Chinese brocade with pieces of
metal cloth covered with opSiescent
