style than are some of the other cuts.
One particularly smart box coat had
rather narrow rolled collar of bea-

on the extreme edge of the coat. so
hat they looked more like a wide
binding for the coat than they did like
conventional pockets.
Skirts Are Quite Short.
From all the skirts that could be
noticed the conclusion was drawn that
they are still "in our midst" and, all
prophecies about French tendencies to
the contrary Notwithstanding, quite.
quite short. Some of them might
be called too short for beauty of pro-
portion, but, be that as it may, the
! longer skirt as yet looks out Of place
in and around New York. The widths
Of the skirts are still moderate, and
they are as straight as can be in line.

step to be made In comfort and ease.
There Is no skirt that retards walking

| The sleeves of the very incest of the
! suits are fitted to the last degree OF
perfection. The armholes are as small
as they possibly can be and still re-
main in the class Of the perfect fir.'
Our American suit shows not the least
tendency to go large and kImono-like
in the armhole. 1t keeps the we'll

armhole can go and still keep Its I'M

Furs That Are Liked.
Beaver and nutria and mole are the
ones that are best liked for collars and
cuffs on sthe brown and taupe shades
Of duvetyn, and their colors blend so
very tremendously with the shades Of
those favorite materials. The longer
haired furs, as far as suits are con-
cerned, have sunk into the back
ground Just now. All Of the suits
have that slick look that Is out Of
key with the longer and more irregu-

Krsmmer are very popular. and these
furs are particularly lovely when they
are combined with the rich dull-red
shades. Baby lamb has sprung into

designers to dye this fur, not only
black, which has been the accepted

The fur sets that are designed TO be
worn with suits have very slight neck
pieces and muffs. They are mere &C
