There are detachable fur pieces, worn with suits and coats, which can have alternative uses, and many of the luxuriously collars on afternoon coats are made so that they can be arranged" in several ways. The return of the muff has added to the use of fur as A decoration and a comfort. One of the more practical muff's shown at a recent parade was in cross fox with a zip fastener. The coat, In a new deep blue shade in velour, had a deep hem of cross fox and the muff (when the zip was un- done) could be worn as a collar. Silver fox in two skins connected at one end was worn with a woor frock, giving the effect of a coat and skirt; it also could be worn as a double skin shoulder wisp an an, untrimmed "coat

On some suits fur is used as a basque or in rounded fronts to a short-fitting coat, and usually a clear untrimmed line is kept at the back to prevent cutting the figure. Some of the short coats have a soft, slik bow tie at the waist and a concealed zip fastener in the same colour.

Another shorter cape had Persian lamb facings and "stand" collar.
Kolinsky dyed mink colour, mink itself, beaver, nutria, and baum inarten are other fums which are seen this year as revers and collars.
