New-York tribune., 1919-12-14

length coats Of the one button en-
away type with slightly farins skht,
and long sleeves.
We have two models te-dny
showing the smart uss Of plaids IA
dresses, The one from Cherutt h
a wool material which looks ysry
much like plaid flannel Tho noyel :
feature Of this is . suppressins u )
part Of the plaid design through
embroidery, which makes tho skirt /
while Of the same material, appear
in sharp contrast to the waist DOT
ton, which is not embroidered and
is perfectly plain in cut-beius
just little round bodice somewhat
after the Garibaldi style. The
sleeves are ses in and full length.
The color Of the plaid is blue and
green and a narrow belt of green
leather is used to draw the dress IN
at the waistline.
Another plaid novelty is the vel
vet dress from Doucet, which is
composed Of a four-ruff1e skirt and
tight fitting b zee which main
tains the corsetless effect despite
the fact that it is pinched in at tho
waist. Worn with this is one Of the
fashionably draped tams pierced
with long rhinestone arrow.
The mantle wrap Of plush, made
just like those of fur, is an economy
which some Of the French women
are practicing just now. These
wraps, developed in velours de lains
as we'll as in mohair plush, in
beaver or castor color, are seen
everywhere. One Of them is pict.
ured at the bottom Of the page.
Pekan Takes Precedence
Over Other Small Pelts
THERE are other women, how.
ever, who apparently cannot b. .
extravagant enough in furs, for one .
sees full mantles of sable, mink, ko-
linsky and squirrel, the latter in (
the sable dye or in the natural gray
color. The skins are all worked in
striped patterns, some of which cir
Gle the width Of the mantle, while
others run up and down. These
mantles represent the height Of lux
ury in fur wraps. They are Of very
simple design, many without sleeves,
but always with big enveloping col
lars that muffle the throat and
shoulders.
Next after these fancy fur gar.
ments come those Of Hudson seal
and nutria cut after the same fash
ion; occasionally a coat of baby
lamb or caracul appears, but these
skins are very rare in France.
In small furs, pekan, or fisher,
still takes precedence over all other
pelts. The smartly dressed woman
shows such decided taste for the
pekan that prices are soaring.
Monkey Fur
Still Popular
DESPITE its great use last win
ter, monkey fur continues to
be popular. 1t is very expensive
when used in any quantity. As a
garniture for dresses and suits it
is not considered really smart un-
less used in the form Of deep Dor.
ders and enveloping collars. Lam
win has delightful little dress with
a deep border of jet black monkey
fur at the bottom Of the skirt. One
of the most successful models from
Madeleine ct Madeleine is coat
of pearl gray checked in black and
trimmed with wide skirt band and
q collar and cuffs Of monkey fur.
This coat is worn over black vel
vet one-piece dress.
As to fur trimmings there is al.
most no tailored suit that has not
fur trimming Of some kind. The
one-piece tailored dresses, or robe
manteaux, are also heavily fur
trimmed.
One thing specially to be rs-
marked is the little use Of the mutt.
Possibly the mantle type Of wrap
has made the mum unnecessary, as
the wearer folds the mantle around
