Paris, Dec. S0.-There is far more suDtlety and technique behind the fur trimmings 10 be seen on this winters coats than is apparent 10 the unobservant. The smartest models are by no means those pro- fuscly trimmed with fur, even if 1t it is fox or some other such eX- pensive peIt.
 If such considerations as the wearer's silhouette, her length of ann and neck are not taken into account, she is liable to achieve q result almost grotcsque. Take a woman of medium height who simply cannot resist d huge fox collar and equally important cuffs on her best coat From the back, she is liable to look like an ambu- lating bolster, as you can barely see the top Of her head. The same woman, on the other hand would gain incomparably in grace and dignity were she 10 select a jul dicious scarf or stole collar, ac- companied by length-giving cuffs. The effect. too. would be just as luxuriously smart, if not more so.
 Coats for All Hours
 Jenny shows number of after noon coats that are formal enough to wear right through until din ner time and yet not too luxurious 10 prevent the Wearer from don ming any one of them in the morn ing. She trims them with the fash ionable flat furs like astrakhan, galyac, seal, natural and dyed ermlne and sometimes combines two furs like broadtail and ermine on one model. Scarf collars seem 10 have her preference with q few boleros and vest effects and her cuffs are varied greatly as to shape, sometimes forming three quarters of the sleeve itself.
 Fur cuffs, as matter of fact, seem to be the point Of concentra- tion for many Of the smartcst coats to be seen. It needs an art ist to produce an original fur cuff that looks well and Lanvin's twin pointed or Worth's wide bell shaped cuff that finishes in a point reaching 10 the elbow are among the seasons finds"
 Muffs Replace Cuffs
 Some afternoon coats have no cuffs at all but are completed by muffs With q cloth suit trimmed with black ermine Worth shows a supple shaped huff that also can be worn on one arm only. Molyneux has one or two models or muffs in tweed or cloth edged with beaver to match the detach- able scarf collar of his new coat dresses. When the bag is com bined with it, the huff is less Of a problem, but up to now it does not look as though women of to- day will accept to carry one. They are likely to prove more of an impeachment than anything else, unless worn with very formal clothes that go with luxurious car.
 Jane Regny shows two or three remarkable evening wraps so far as the fur trimming is concerned. One jade green velvet wrap, cut on long, clinging lines, with a dip ping hem on one side, is outlined with black fox, starting off with an immense collare framing the head at the back. This collar fin- ishes at the waist in a shawl ef- feet, where lt is joined by more fur that is carried right around the back Of the coat and ends somewhere near the right knee.
 PatOu Initiates Mode
 Patou launched the fashion of fur stoles that can be worn sep arately on afternoon or evening dresses. Ermine or sable are, of course, the best suited fur for this purpose, and these scarfs or stoles are by no means VOluminouS. These and the short fur capes he is showing are distinctly original and strike a very new note among the many novel features to be senp in thic uTiDtar'g faEbinpg
