HERE are two distinct types OF
the short coat one Is slight
ly Earring, and as a rule is
o unbelted. The otter has the
merest hint OF a blouse over a band
which hts rather snugly about the
hips. They may be either Of fur or
OF fur fabric. and surprising as II
may sound, the latter is looked upon
apparently with quite as much favor
as the former. and sometimes It must
be admitted that Il is rather difficult
TO tell them apart without a close
examination.
It's really amusing. isn't IT, The
furriers are willing TO spend any
smount Of money and grow old be-
fore their time. in the endeavor TO
make furs as supple and softly plia-
bic as a fabric. And the fur-fabric
manufacturers lie awake nights and
call upon all their most expert de-
signers TO make their materials as
much like fur as possible. And in
both cases they are accomplishing
wonders.
You will see the short coat too,
which has been developed in velvet
and some OF the sumptuous fabrics
such as marseila and fashicrs. There
