comfortable beyond words to express.
The very slender may wear the all
elastic girdle, but unfortunately we
are not a nation of very slender wom-
en-, so the garment made of boned
sections alternating with elastic is the
most in favor. Elastic, properly
placed-and for the proper placing an
expert fitting is required-does away
with excess flesh. md there Is a ten
dency toward a higher corset, both
front and back. The attention paid
to the back of the gown is reflected in
corset styles, and boned panels fatten
the hips to give the required fiat sill
houette.
When there are laces, they are in
the front, and one model has elastic
sections on each size, while another
laces over the elastic, thus preventing
an unsiehtly bulge. II any fault can
be found with this general use of
elastic, 1t is Its tendency to stretch,
but this tendency is gradually being
eliminated by experimental weaving.

tening, which, by a single pull of a

fashions the smartest of the popular
short coats.
A Fad Becomes A Settled Fashion
No discussion of furs or fur fash
ions Is complete without some refer
ence to the vogue of the short coat,
made, varlously, of the finest and the
coarsest of the short-haired furs.
There are leopard, civet. mole, musk
rat, mink. ermine. coney, Hudson seal,
r%accoon, gazelle and caracul coats of
this type, and their extreme smartness
is undeniable. Some are cuffed and
collared In a contrasting fur, others
depend on themselves for trimming,
and there are many oddities In trim
ming details to give them distinction.
In general the fashion of furs Is a
broad one. Any and every mode that
a fabric coat favors. furs favor, If they
are supple enough to be adapted to
the mode in question. One Is reason
ably certain of the becomingness of a
style, so it behooves her to be reason
ably certain Of the fur she Is buying,
weighing carefully its wearing quail
ties, its becomingness, its suitability to
the purpose in hand, and its real
ness" With all these conditions de-
termined, the purchase of a fur wrap
or coat is a certain assurance of future
delight.

Two of the prevailing types of day.

latter class are broadtail, astrakhan,

which trims and makes with equal
facility. The loose. comfortable sport
coat demonstrates the fact that the

more effective. One notes that the
leopard Stimulates a band around the
bottom, rather than the wolf. Leather
buttons fasten this model.
The cape wrap of mink demon

narrow skin, and one Is reminded of
the possibilities of p%atterning mole,

very fashionable, and when the furs
themselves are not striped, why not
stripes of the furs? A wrap OF this
sort Is equally good for late afternoon
or evening wear, md is, undoubtedly,
the choice OF the well-dressed woman
for formal occasions. Patterning furs
has become a fine art, and most amaz-
ing results can be obtained by the
skilled designer.

4 FINE ART OF CORSETRY

~ o the woman who has been buy
ing the same model of a corset
- year after year, because it proved
the best of the several from which she
originally chose, a visit to the shop
of an up-to-the-minute corsetiere will
be little short of a revelation. 1t is
ridiculous for anyone to think that
corset styles do not change, or that
the methods of making and fitting
them have not been improved along
with other articles of wearing apparel,
for the corset is. in itself, the founda-
tion of perfection in costuming.
Corset making used to be an indus
try that smacked of the scientific, but
it has now become an art. and the re-
suit OF years of experimenting has
produced corset models that are not
only beautiful and graceful, but COM

average woman accepted the front lace

smooth back line, but recently they
have been called upon to do away with
the lacing altogether, for the laceless
corset is the newest offering of the
corset designer. 1t molds the figure

ticality often more than doubles the
price one really pays in actual money.
If a few weeks wear causes a coat to
show worn edges, it means more
money for repairs, If n Is to be nice
ly dressed. Mink. squirrel, mole, alb
bit-which is never allowed to retain
its name-and sealskin all show worn
places In a dlscouragingly short time,
while natural muskrat, civet, mink,
leopard, beaver, nutria and the short,
curly furs are much more satisfactory
from the point of view of durability.
While the wise buyer goes to a
reputable house for her every pur-
chase, It is an excellent idea to have
at least a general knowledge OF the
fur she may possibly buy. She should
know that the kollnsky. used so much
for trimming is really a marten, and
1t is a dyed fur. quite likely to fade,
and show traces of Its original color,

ingly expensive. Kolinsky or Viatka-
dyed squirrels are usually domestic
skins from the same little animals we
know so well, and they are not. OF
course, as expensive. though their
vogue makes them quite expensive
enough.
Hudson Bay mink is more expensive
than Russian; the ermine from Rus
STA is the most valuable; Canada gives

America sends us chinchilla; Canada

and cuffs, or bracelet bands on the
sleeves are favorite trimming treat
ments and even sports coats incline to
fur collars as a part of their jaunty
smartness. In a season when one sees

1T is, pre-eminently, the season OF

extent. the concern of fashion
y throughout the entire year. ThelI
popularity as a fabric and q trimming
has increased with leaps and bounds
In the past ten years, so that the wise
buyer is a student of their variety,
and should be fairly wel1-versed In the
many different skins-and their sub
stitutes-that are approved of fashion,
The rapidly growing demand means
a greatly taxed supply. so that new
animals must be discovered-or re-
discovered to swell the catch of the
trapper.
The rise In price OF an adaptable
and fashionable fur Is not wholly due
to its vogue, by any means, for furs
are not produced as easily as cloths,
and any scarcity of a desirable skin
means an increased price to the buyer.
Many of the older. best-known fur
bearing animals are protected by law
in the sections where they thrive. and
fur-farming is a recognized industry.

and why she is paying what seems

"Old Fashioned" Furs In The
Minority

treasured from year to year as a real
possession were very different from
the fashionable furs of today. The

seal and the furs kin to them are not
as much in evidence today as they
were even fifty years ago. though one
may possess the former II she will pay
the price demanded because of It's in
creasing scarcity. Real seal has been
almost wholly replaced by Hudson
seal, which is really dyed muskrat.
And this particular season other furs
are even more in demand than the
Hudson seal.
Somehow or other rarity seems to
increase beauty. and. naturally, desir-
ability, so that certain daytime furs
are shifted to the list Of evening furs
as they become scarce and costly.
Sable-both the costly Russian and
the costly enough Hudson Bay;
chinchilla; winter ermine and mink
are favored furs for evening wraps,
and the once lowly squirrel-its soft
ness so desirable, and its natural color
so becoming--is now an approved eve
ming fur. 1t appears in the daytime
too, but is colored a fashionable shade
of brown more often than not.
