presses itself also in fur, as shown In
the ultra smart Russian model in gray
Persian sketched above. This hand
some coat with outstanding pleated
collar uses gray frogs for fastening
and q gray belt Of woven silk braid
with silver buckle.
Very different in design is the other
coat shown, of black Russian caracul
with soft dressmaker lines. The un-
usual shaping of the collar, the sleeves
pleated at the armhole, the shirring
below the waistline and the wide suede
belt with oval buckle all mark this
coat as something quite out Of the Or
dinary and In the class OF exclusive
models.
IF MONEY Is no consideration when
you are buying a fur coat look at
| the Eastern minks from $795 up. Their
soft elegance will tempt you as soon
as you see them, but If your budget is
in any way limited, your choice Will
be among other furs. Leopard swag-
gers at $3.50 are high style among the
sports coats. and leopard cat Is less
expensive at $135 up.
Muskrat continues q well-liked fur
and in the new silver tone is most at
tractive. One Of these coats in gray
muskrat has collar. cuffs and tuxedo
band down each side Of the front Of
darker gray muskrat, giving an en-
tirely different effect than We have
been accustomed to In this fur. Musk
rats are from $l25 up. The most mod
erately priced furs are the lapins,
which come in gray, tan. brown and
black, also stenciled in stripes from
around $50.
The fur story would not be COM
plete without mention Of capes. such
an important feature Of the Fall
silhouette. Capes are made up in
all furs. They are particularly good
in Persian, black Russian caracul
and kidskin in finger-tip length. Some
are very full, with shoulder yokes,
and are being specially featured in
one shop noted for its fine furs and
excellent style.
WHILE shopping around we came
across something that has MOTH
ing to do with fur coats, and yet is
of tremendous interest nevertheless.
It concerns feet and q new method
Of molding an insole to fit each in
dividual foot right in the shop with
out a lot of red tape.
This sensational discovery Is quite
simple when you see how it works,
and yet is going to mean absolute
comfort for all those people whose
feet, for one reason or another, do
not fit perfectly into the regular sizes
Iand widths of ready-made shoes.
Each shoe contains q special insole
Of plastic material covered with a
thin lining. After you have chosen
the style and size Of shoe you desire
the shoe is placed over form and
the plastic sole heated. Then the
shoes are tried on and, with the
plastic material soft, the weight of
your body molds it permanently to
your own individual footprints, de-
veloping support for your individual
feet In such . manner that your
weight Is carried evenly in the shoes
as Nature designed your own feet to
do 1t.
These shoes are being demonstrated
in Washington for limited time, and
II you have any difficulty in having
shoes fitted it would certainly be well
to investigate this new shoe develop
ment.
