Enthusiasm for Furs.
Furs have invaded every branch of
woman's npparel as tho most desired
of garnitures. There Is an Immense
enthusiasm for thorn. They add a
sumptuous toucli to coats aud suits
nnd wraps of all kinds. In millinery
(a border or collar of fur on n lace or
flower-trimmed hat makes places for
jits summery gaycties in tho depth of
;winter. Millinery designers delight in
Itho touch of fur.
Just about the best asset in' the
winter's wardrobe is a fur set of some
.sort a neckpiece, little or big, and a
smart muff. They ure worn with
coats and suits, 6ne-piece frocks; nnd
evening wraps. Anything unusual or
original in designing them, so long ns
fit is graceful, adds much to their dis
tinction. Tho woman who is clever
iabout making tilings for herself at
liomo can make small fancy neckpieces
nnd pillow muffs of fur or of fur and
n material combined.
Concerning Skating Sets.
The golden days of Indian summer
might make us forget winter, or cease
to believe in It, If It were not for
forecasts in tho shop windows. They
are full of fineries and furbelows for
:Chrlstmns gifts, nnd furs nnd wraps
that will warm thoso who wear them
to the soul; or let us hope so. It Is
to ho gathered from them that skating
will bo winter's foremost pastime, for
there are all sorts of skntlng outfits
displayed.
Thero nro costumes among them In
which sports cloths reach tho apex
;of luxury nnd beauty, nnd thero nro
ninny unpretentious but captivating
.skating sets, sometimes of three
pieces, and often of two. Tho three--pieco
sets Include muffler, cape, and
muff to match, and the two-pleco sets
muffler aid capo or hat. They raako
Ideal Christmas gifes.
. Several of the new materials, as
wool velours. Bolivia cloth, nnd tho
lighter fur-fabrics arc perfectly adapt
od to these sets. Eiderdown Is an
ideal material for them, nnd tho sot
shown In tho picture Is made of It.
Hut any of the soft, woolly cloths
might bo used for tho plain muffler

The handsome set pictured Is mado
of moleskin bordered with Hudson
seal. Tho small cape, rather full, Is
lengthened by two ruffles of moleskin,
nnd has the effect of a triple cape, each,
one of them bordered with the seal.
There arc two similar ruffles at each
side of the muff. Tho rullies are lined
with mole-colored satin, nnd the very
modish collar muffles up the neck in
the approved stylo.
All the soft, loosely woven cloths
that are fashionable nro combined
with fur bandings In smart sets. Vel
vet, brocade, and rich ribbons play an
Important role also in fashioning them.
Neckpieces In combinations of fabrics
and fur nro usually small, but muffs
are lnrger than many all-fur muffs.

about tho snmo good effect. Tho hat Is
held on "By a bridle of eiderdown, nnd
tho sportive-looking pompon Is made
of yarn, which Is of nil things the
best for decorating skating sets.
Besides the sets made of fabrics
thero are practical and hnndsomo
ones of yarns. Angora Is tho coziest
looking of these. White bordered with
colored stripes nnd bright colors,
trimmed with white, seem to mntch up
best with a winter landscape; at any
rate this is tho opinion of thoso who
have designed skutlng togs. Hut more
audacious color combinations may ex
pect to meet with approval against n
background of Ice and snow, and after
all is said, there Is nothing better
than vivid Scotch plnlds for winter
sports.

Thero Is ono Pnrlsjnn horror made
only for American buyers, lit which uo

which I warn you to avoid tho short,
