Less fur will be used on this seasons :
tailor-mades than was noted last year.
When fur is used at all, it seems to be
used merely to give emphasis TO A
drapery or an edge-not fur for fur's
sake. like last winter when peltry was
loaded on so lavishly. An enchani-
iagiy pretty little suit in the group
pictured. is garnished with just enough
fur for richness and elegance. The
overskirt might easily have been bor-
Idered with the fur--sof. gray fox
but with comm nendabIe reserve the de-

the fur used on the short Jacket. AS q
