For daytime wear there is unlim-
tied variety, both in full-length
coats and short jackets. The jack
cts, particularly, are excellent for
daytime use over full-skirted dresses
and equally adaptable for wear over
formal gowns. In the more expen-
Sive furS, sable, mink and marten
are really handsome. Their more
moderately priced cousins include
skunk, black fox, lynx in black, nat
ural or brown; squirrel, mole and
the lovely new freak fur" guanaco.
The latter is made of South Ameri-
can llama and looks like striped red
fox-although 1t will take a beauti-
full blue fox dye. It is definitely one
of those furs that look expensive, yet
belong in the economy class.
Coats OF. sheared beaver-it's also
good for evening wear-and Hudson
seal are favorites this season, too
The much publicized coney fur Is
really one of the most adaptable. In
the 1ow-price range this fur has
been chosen as part of the essential
wardrobe by New York fashion ex-
perts, and it Is done to resemble
beaver, chinchf1la or even to look
like ermine.

Chapeaux of Looped
Shag Wool Smart
And Economical

With all the accent on furs this
season, is it any wonder that hats
should obligingly trail along? Con-
slider, after all, that the ensemble
touch is almost obligatory in FASH
ion today, and then set your brain
working on novel and interesting
ways to tie-up your favorite coat or
jacket with smart chapeau.
Fur trimming Of all types is used
on hats. There Is the skunk POM
pom to match your chubby jacket
of the same fur, the silver fox ac-
cent-sometimes used as q POM
pom or often done in the form Of
a head Of the animal, and there
are bonnets adorned with caracul,
Persian lamb, or mink. Anywhere,
everywhere there are fur-trimmed
chapeaux that do wonders to COM
plete a really smart outfit. Of
course. If you are very original, you
can no doubt think Of loads Of ways
to use matching fur on your hats
and it is a simple matter to have
the trimming put on. Several smart
ladies we know save their expensive
fur trimming from year to year and
use it on any number Of good
looking turbans. Fur accents on
the crown, on the brim, or even
dangling over the side Of the brim-
all these things count for 80 much
in really good-looking costume.
Interesting news from New York
tells us of the remarkable white fur
shake designed by Erik and pat
termed after those worn by the
Buckingham Palace guards. Since
this type Of hat is much too extreme
for the average American woman,
designers evolved new material
made Of looped shag wool. In
black it looks like Persian lamb, and
In color 1t will bafne the most dis
cerning Of your friends. This shag
wool, q furry-looking yarn, is being
sold In Manhattan in wine, mustard
and blus and often u accompanied

attention to the fur coats of the
moment-coats that really make
fashion history.
Since winter seems finally to have
arrived, it is natural to turn the
spotlight on newest developments in
this line. Certainly they are worth
considering. A new cleverness has
reached furs, and they seem to have
achieved a perfection of workman
ship, fit and styling that is definite
improvement over the modes Of
years past. Such flattering details
as softly draped shoulders, dramatic
sleeve treatments, fitted waistlines
and unusual collars-or lack Of
them-are seen in the newest mod
els. In addition, furriers and styl-
lists have come to realize the needs
of the average woman, and have
designed coats for every type. Furs,
in this advanced day and age, are
within the reach Of nearly every
woman-no matter what are her re-
quirements or station in life. So on
to the newest Developments
For evening, the mode has UNDER
gone the most striking change.
Fitted coats 'are the high light Of
this season, and even such bulky
furs as silver fox, white fox and lynx
have been nodded into exquisite
wraps that hug the waistline and fit
the figure snugly. Furriers have de-
vised a method Of applying pelts Of
chunky fur on soft velvet, cloth, an
telope or even grosgrain ribbon in
stead Of sewing them together.
This enables them to produce . slim

NEW YORK.-First among the

OF those who have chosen this ex-

The hood is particularly stunning

outstanding, is of mink fur lined in

Muffs are growing more and more

Lilly Dache favors big pillow muffs
made with convenient straps by
which to carry them. One of her
most practical ideas is q pillow mum

when you are busy shopping you can
sling the muff strap over your shoul-
