indeed is the winc-colored velvet
with a million dollar fox collar a Russek creation.
IV. something to write home about, or for, is the above Martial and Armand afternoon on- samble of fox-trimmed, brown, broadtail polucho.
1. the pattest fashions you will wear this winter are
After a peos you bure already noticed.
If you can afford it, nothing is jauntier or more correct than a good-looking long fur coat, under which you can wear with such comfort and satisfaction woolen or silk tracks.
If you want to be just too smart for words, you louisi ndulge that suppressed desire for a short fur jacket to top - your tweeds
And last, but by a means least, you will need a trick little furmal suit or coat of some kind for afternoons and informal evenings, which should have a fur trim.
If you want a ling fur coat, you may of course have any of the classic standbys. Mink, if you can afford it. muskrat, if you can't. Hudson seal, Iroadtail, nutria, cay acul. If you want to wear it several winters, stick to some what conservative lines. You can have it slightly fitted. but don't have it ultra anything. for ultra styles usually survive only one season, and it cests money to have a mis take in styles rectified next reases.
This year, for diversay and for genuine chic, there are many beautifully designed and unusual furs in be bad. Fitch cones under this category. It is such a soft fur, and so decorative. If you are having fitch, do not go in for any fancy shapes. It is ornamental enough to be made plan and be exquisitely lovely.
IF
I. you are the jaunty type of young woman who looks her smart best in tweeds for daytune wear, you will waht chort cobl, of the jacket or reefer type. made of jur, of course.
Since the very, short jacket was so good carly in the year, it is a mistake to buy one for winter time. Have it a little longer than a bolero. Hip length or a trifle below
is the new good length for fur jackets.
It
An exceptionally good one for you, if you are a busi ness girl or a professional who trudges to the daily job every morning, snow or rain. is made of gray goalskin. a very serviceable fur, and a warm one. This coat has little flare to its cut, but its sleeves and its collay are quile simple and give an air of current mastness to the
coat, There i
is a little rolled belt of the fur, but it is quite smart for you to wear a soft green or red suede belt with it, to match your twsed frock and your felt hat. The frock shown with the coat is gray and green speckled tweed, and it has its own ascot scarf collar of the tweed. The hot is a rich green felt with roll brim and band of satin ribbon." II. AN admirable choice in a fitch coat is made on
traight lines, with a soft flaring collar and sleeves that gather slightly into wide, flaring cuffs. It is a very feminine garment, one that will make you feel every inch a lady. Its skine are matched beautifully to give it a smart
horizontal striping, and the stripe that runs around the body portion munds to hit the top of the sleeves, the back. at joke depth and the front a trifle lower. The collar has the light yellow partion next the face, a soft Battering color. This is the kind of coat you can wear with tailored frocks and a neat spurtsy type of hat, the one shown being in a lovely rust red,
III. IF you need an extra lovely afternoon outfit, one to wear to dinner in town as well as for parties after four. I suggest to you a gorgeous wine-colored velvet coat, amply trimined in sumptuous blue fox.
It is a futed velvet coat, with the fox fur collaring it and entirely outlining the front, closing and banding it where it ends, which is just above the knees. The sleeves are tre- mendously interesting, being cut in three tiers above long tight cuils. It is a simply elegant outft, coupled with a email beret in the same wine colored velvet, banded simply in grosgrain and a crepe and lace frock in wine and ecru.
IV. AND now, if there is any way you can afford it. you will want and see every reason, for consider- ing a broadtail peluche outfit from. Martial and Armand in a beautiful shade of brown. It is very formal. You won't want to wear it to the office. But if you intend get- ting around to many receptions, parties and restaurant din. ners, it will come in more than handy.
It is a rather plain skirt, with front fullness and a cont that is exquisitely cut to fit the figure and then are like a full Russian tunic. The three-quarters coat and the col lar and the elbow portion of the sleeves ate regally furred in fox to match the brown of the material.
A long tunic blouse in turquoise blue salin completes it, making it a most unutual outfit, both in its material and its color combination, not to mention its lines. A little hat of the same brown as the suit is made of its material.
yet look ultra smart VIF you must go to the office, and
for conference or a tea in the afternoon, there are luscious velvet suits, in patterned prints, that are quite the right thing for you.
One of these is made of the new broadtail velvet. in black, with a perfectly elegant silhouette. The skirt has alight flase, but the three-quarter coat goes it one better and is almost fitted in the back and semi-fitted in the front. The sleeves of the coat have a cuff that opens on the out- side at the wrist, fastens with a little button and shows the nysler satin lining slightly. There is a handsome tall black -fox collar to set off the suit superbly.
The overblouse of oyster white satin is made with an unusual hipline, rounding up over the hips slightly from pointed front and rounding down again in the hack It has a double belt of black and oyster white satin.
V. good for alther business or social hud- dles is the Madame Frances creation in black broadtali velvet, trimmed with
black fox collar,
