PARIS, Dec. it.--There is far
more subtlety and technique behind
the fur trimmings to be seen on
Ehis winters coats than is apparent
10 the unobservant.
The smartest models by no means
are those profusely trimmed with
FUR. even II 1t Is fox or some other
ouch expensive pelt.
II such considerations as the
wearer's silhouette, her length Of
arm and neck are not taken into
. account, she is liable 10 achieve a
Eesult almost grotesque.
Take a woman of medium height
who simply can not resist huge
fox collar and equally important
cuffs on her best coat. From the
back, she Is likely to look like an
ambulating bolster, as you can bare
5y see the top Of her head.
u Coats for All Hours
The same woman, on the other
saand, would gain incomparably in
grace and dignity were she to
select a juducioqs scarf or stole col
Gar, ..1compspied by length-grVlng
cuffs. The effect, too, would be
| bust as luxuriously smart, II not
more so.
Z Jenny shows a number OF after
t.k1oon coats that are formal enough
Ito wear right through until din
finer time and yet not too luxurious
Ito prevent the wearer from DON
Jning any one Of them in the morn
Ting.
4 She trims them with fashionable
nat furS like astrakhan, galyac,
seal, natural and dyed ermine and
sometimes combines two furs like
Eroadtau and ernine on one model.
Scarf collars seem to have her
preference, with few boleroS and
vest effects, and her cuffs are varied
greatly as to shape, sometimes
FORMING three quarters Of the sleeve
Stself.
Fur cuffs, as matter Of fact,
seem to be the point Of concentra-
ton for many of the SmarteSt coats
TO be seen.
1t needs an artist to produce an
original fur cuff that looks well and
Lanvin's twin pionted or Worth'S
wide bell-shaped cuff that finishes
In a point reaching to the elbow
are among the seasons finds"
Some afternoon coats have no
cuffs at all, but are completed by
EnuffS. With a cloth suit trimmed
with black ermine, Worth shows a
supple concertina-shaped muff that
also can be worn on one arm only.
Molyneux has one or two models
Of muffS In tweed or cloth edged
with beaver to match the detach-
able scarf collar of his new coat
dresses. When the bag Is combined
with 1t, the muff is less of prob
lem, but up to now 1t does not look
as though women of today will
carry one
Mrffs Are impeachment
They are likely to prove more of
IAN impeachment than anything else,
unless worn with very formal
clothes that go with a 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 dipping
hem on one side, is outlined with
black fox, starting off with an i'm
mense collar, framing the head at
the back.
This collar finishes at the waist
In a shawl effect, where it 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
Eur stoleS that can be worn sep
'arately on afternoon or evening
dresses.
Ernine 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 distinctively original
and strike very new note among
the many novel features to be
seen IN this winters fashions.
