" do not appear with sport cos
tunes as much as they did when fem
ininity first took 10 peltry during the
summer solstice. For sport occasions
very smart wearables of knitted wool
are preferred and some OF these are
almost as expensive as furs would be;
but with the formal afternoon frock a
little touch of fur Is decidedly the
thing
And some OF the summer fur wraps
are scarcely more than a little touch
of fur. II is incredible-the lightness
and daintiness of these wraps. One
wonders IL there is any animal skin
under the velvety surface of the fur
itself for the soft fur seems 10 be at
tached with no means OF support TO
the silky lining of the garment. or
course, these light summer pelts are
prepared With the greatest skill; the
finest skins are set together and the
stitching Is beautifully done so that
there are no ridges or welts and the
whole fur fabric Is soft and supple in
the hands. And Innings are OF airy
fabrics-chiffon. crepe de chine and
thin satin-since summer furs do not
have to afford substantial protection
against cold.
Gray Pelts Have First Favor
Everybody knows that gray is fash
ions favorlte this season SO It is no
surprise 10 see the gray furs pushed
out in front and matched up with
enchanting gray costumes in every
shop window and at all the openings.
Moleskin is the particular pet Of
Madam Mode. OF course; It is so love-
ly in its gray shadlngs and 1t is such
an admirable fur for summer-almost
negligible in weight when made UP
with thin lining. Then there is gray
squirrel, used chiefly for collars OF
motor coats, for sport scarfs and for
trimming on moleskin wraps. Gray
fox Is fancled also and gray caracul
appears in many captivating summer
wraps. One is pictured, u perfectly
delightful little wrap OF silvery gray
caraeul with shawl collar Of soft
gray fox and lining OF cerlse brocade
which shows inside the turned back
collar Of the wrap. The cape sleeves
contrast with the snug ft OF the lower
part Of the wrap-lapped about the
agure and held In place by a gray silk
cord girdle. This Is essentially a sum-
mer fur wrap. suggesting cozy warmth
for an August evening by the sea, bu,
not suggestive Of warmth enough for
January when fur wrap must look
as warm and enveloplng as It IS sup
posed 10 be.
A moleskin wrap trimmed with gray
squirrel Is shown in another picture
and the band Of squirrel cleyerly lmi-
tates cape on the straight tunic OF
moleskin. Al the back the wrap
olouses little at the hip. emphasiz-
ing the suggestion Of big cape
though the front Is held trinity TO the
figure under cord girdle.
Fur Gathered And Pulled Like Fabric
The manner OF handling the sum
mer furs proves their delightful sup.
pleness and lightness. Peltry is gath
cred. shirred. puded made into frills
and even pleated-wlthout any eject
OF bulklnoSs IN the finished garment.
Notice the little moleskln wrap in the
picture with puffings Of the pelt on
the back panel and sleeves. This cum
ming wrap Is simply a wide strip Of
moleskln tossed over the shoulders
and slashed down the center front
where the wrap laps in surplioe fash
ion. Loops Of fur are added at either
side FOR loose sleeves and there IL a
frll OF the fur at the neckllne. This
wrap is lined with crepe de chine In
self tone and is one OF the most ex-
elusive little fur wraps OF the season.
II Is shown here with n pale gray
crepe de chine frock and "a picture hat
with Jade green ostrich.
Some OF the ermine wraps show the
same dainty treatment OF peltry. There
