The Choice Of Furs
Influence Of The New
H
Lengths
BY THE HON. MRS. C. W. FORESTER
The first spell of real wintry weather has brought out many charming models in fur. Furs for the present season are presented most attractively. A great change has come with the differing lengths of the newer models. For younger people and fairly slim Sgures the three-quarter and Ove-eighth lengths are more becoming than the full-length in a heavy skin. The best and most finely-worked skins, sable. mink, ermine and Kolinsky, can always look delight ful fashioned on straight lines and narrowing to the feet.
The average woman who wibes to look her beat and be warm can
seldom aspire to such luxurious pelts. For her choice coney, mole. Indian lamb, goat. Persian paw,
| bearskin (shaved) are work attrac-
tively into the newer three-quarter
swagger-shaped coat, sometimes made with a decisive flare at the hem or cut on the straighter tunic line. Slightly longer and often more becoming to the taller Agure are the five-eighth models showing Just a little of a narrow wool or, velvet skirt beneath.
The fuller sleeve la wise in win-
ter. Balloon and leg-of-mutton shapes appeared, but they did not long conunue. The usual swagger. models show a nicely-squared shoulder, with the rest of the sleeve
coming smaller near the wrist, but roomy enough to allow of the wear- ing of a slim tailored wool of velvet Sult underneath.
Where there is any sort of fare at the hem balance is struck by a fairly full-topped sleeve. Collars are flat this season or shaped to allow of the high hats or back coiffures being undisturbed.
The shorter length coat, especial- ly in the fashionable extrakhan 'and the less expensive skins, is the best cholce, but when the fur sea- san begins to wane the exclusive designers will swerve suddenly back to the straightest of coat lines: No doubt there will be many little differences from the previous ided of straightness, such hidden
where colours and fabrics are dis-
tinctive.
Headgear must be influenced by the vogues in rur. The fur toque. much
lightened in style and weight, is popular at the moment Half-fur and half-velvet-is the favourite, with sometimes the ad- dition of" beautiful feathers or flowers. White or pastel-pinic vel- vet is lovely mixed with black asi trakhan for wearing with a fur coat of the same.
Golden-brown velvet and wine-
coloured, flowers with a decorative brown veil looked well with a short summer ermine coat worn over a velvet frock.
A turban of grey velvet and old lace, with green' and grey feathery tips. looked effective at a recent wedding, where it was sponsored by a gray-haired woman who wore a flared tuble of moleskin. One caught glimpses of a lacey waistcoat
to
a striped grey fabric frock Suede and kid shoes and gloves in a dark green and dull mole-grey all hostery completed the ensem-
ble.
One cannot to-day see any strik- ing tollette without noticing the minute detalls. If these fall, there could not be interest in such a sim- ple outât us the one I have des-
bed.
It should be a cheering thought that to the less-well-of woman she can, with good taste and care fectly practical and most effective ful planning, secure for herself
cerfecrty practical and most effec- tive garments at a fairly small ex-
penditure.
Richer women can indulge in more than one fur coat, in addition to the very smart new black cloth models trimmed lavishly with Per- sian lamb, or long velvet coloured or black models, sift and slashed with mink and sable.
Capes and 'mufta, too, of suiver fox and the shorter fur ties dyed. to special tones,, are all in the wardrobes of the dress stylists.
The fur fabrics are not to · be despised, though they are never aa warm as any sort of real skin. For the country they are effective when the details are correctly sporting. With the imitation ocelot leopard, sheep-skin and lamb, leather accessories are in good- style. Many fur fabric three-quar- ter and five-eighth leagth coats are warmly lined. camel hair or folds and pleats, unseen gussetà lamb's wool. This is good when and other devices, but the stressed Täin, wind and mud are to be en- simplicity is fairly certain to exist. countered.
"RETURN OF HEAVY JEWELLERY
Heavy Victorian Jewellery is re- turning to fashion this Christmas, Women are choosing flat, flexible necklaces in gold and silver, as heavy and as simple as possible. atting close to the base of the neck. Bracelets and long earrings to match look as becoming with the severe ilnes of modern dress sa
with our grandmothers' styles.
Georgian allver shilling and two- shilling pieces are in mach demand for buttons, often made up to show the "head" and "tail" alternately.
Hebrew silver amulets, from 200-
to 400 years old,, are being increas- ingly used as belt buckles. Also in favour are enormous' rings made of semi-precious stones. Some are as much as liin. in length and are nade of amethyst, turquoise, topaz, malachite, of agate, corai, garnet,
chrysoprase and quarta,
Among the rarest large rings are Indian "mirror" rings.. in which
'nautch
girls are able to watch themselves while they are dancing. Some of them are 24in. in diameter. A particularly valuable specimen consists of central mirror sur→ rounded with fiat diamonds and
emeralds, the whole backed with Jalpur enamelTM
The taste of the Royal family for old jewellery is well known, but it la perhaps not generally known that the Princess Royal collects Jewelled owls and miniatures of St. George, while the Duke of Glouces- ter has a large collection of minta- ture carved Japanese and Chinese wory figures

HATS BY ELISSA LANDI
"Dress from the head down.” This is the advice given by Elisen
Landi in matters of smart ward- tones.
Miss Landi is one of the few players in Hollywood with a fair for designing chic chapeaux, and she insists upon designing her own hats.
"It is absolutely necessary that 2 hat correspond to the mood of the frock for which it is intended." she explained."The wrong type ́of hat, even though it is becoming. has the power to destroy the effect. of an entire ensemble."
While the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer actress doesn't go into extremes in her hat wardrobe, the various bon- nets are all chic and individual in their design
„For a grey, millary spectator sports frock she created a military hat of matching grey trimmed Ia- the lade green that appeared on: the dress. Two chenille balls and a modified visor brim characterized the
