now the furs OF summer time are in

and so dainty that they would hardly

Ribbons Form Basis OF One Wrap
For instance. one summer fur wrap
has no warmth at all except for the
bands OF fur which are held together
by ribbons. a picture OF this wrap Is

are held together by taffeta ribbons
and the wrap has no lining. The fur
is kolinsky and the ribbons are coral
red with tiny edge OF white. Imagine
the gorgeous coloring OF this wrap
and rs wonderful softness and light

bands OF moleskin and ribbons in
beautiful shade OF silvery blue. When
the wrap falls from the shoulders the
weight OF the fur bands makes the
ribbons hang perfectly straight and
the effect is that OF a shimmering.

Rich Silks a Feature or Wraps
Fur is only half the interest in
many OF these summer fur wraps.
Handsome silks IN new weaves and
splendid colorings are combined with
the fur, and sometimes the silk IS the
real interest OF the wrap: the fur only
an incident. Such a wrap is pictured
IN the model OF moleskin and kumsl-

The fur-trimmed wrap Es not at all a
garment OF vanity or faddishness. It
has real use-as every woman
knows who has spent weeks by the
ocean or up IN a mountain altitude
through the midsummer months.
