F coune, you want to take advantage of the Anguss fur sales. To do so in the smart modem manner, you must pin your eye on style. For the first time in many years, the style of fur coats is quite as important as the fur. If you would be chic, watch the cut and detail of your coat.
Fint of all, you will want a longer fur coat this sea- son. All except the sports coats and the fur capes and wraps for evening ate quite a bit longer.
In the second place, try the fitted lines, I do not" mean the exaggerated princess line. But just see if you don't find the semi-fitted coat a more graceful. one than the straight up and down models of the past few seasons.,
IN the third place, look, to the following details, if you want to earn the reputation of good taste and stylish- ness:
1. Flounces or godets. Many coats have them. 2. Cape effects, in collars or over sleeves: Especially
a jaunty, youthful effect.
3. Bolero cut or suggestion of bolero. Especially good if you happen to have a fuller figure than you really want.
4. Sleeves with flare, puff, bishop cut, elbow manip ulation or some other fascinating individuality. Sleeves date coats this year, as much as anything else.
5. Collars that catch the eye, bemg either a novel "cushion: made of a handsome contrasting fur cut like a fat shirt collar, with ties, a neat modified Peter Pan. notched, tailored or some other fashionable cut.
THIS season you will find sports coats quite different from more formal afternoon, coats. Make up your mind whether you want to be a jaunty, youthful type of person or dignified and elegant, before you buy. You can find either Lind of coat; the character decision is yours!
Mink is good as ever, and as expensive, when it's real." Lapin, ocelot, kid, otter and leopard are good for sports
Caracul, Alaska seal, muskrat, squirrel, curly lamb and broadtail are among the slightly more regal furs and are better for formal wear, Ermine, of course, is quite the evening choice, with dyed lapin running more, than a popular second.
T FOR novel formal afternoon coat, an innovation is an ombre-tinter brown astrakhan princess coat.. It Is distinctly & leisure class coat, one made for dignity and position. It tones from faint beige to deep brown. It has the deepest, tone lining the edge of the collar and the cuffs, as well as the bottom of the fired princess Silhouette, which usually appears only in frocks.
II THE little evening coat is a fall novelty. This one is lapin dyed an emerald green. It is a little wrap-around jacket, with soft, flattering collar and the new finger-tip length. It is lined with a softer tone of green satin, and is excellent with any colored evening gown you choose to wear
IT CERTAIN furs are so decorative in themselves that you must watch their cut and allow them to achieve their distinction by manipulation of the fur itself. Fitch is like this. I suggest that if you get a fitch coat, you take a look first at a rather restrained one, fairly straight line, made with a certain striped effect achieved by the fur. The cuffs are marrow and use hori zontal stripings and the collar does the same. A lovely: coat, especially for youth.

IV. A SNAPPY collegiate coat is made of leopard, trimmed with beaver. The surplice closing of beaver tapers gracefully and the wide cuffs have a slight flare on the outside edge for variety. It is a coat you would love to wear back to the campus.
V FOR grace, beauty and a certain jauntiness that you will respect, if you are yourself a well-dressed person, there it a black Russian caracul coat made with cape alcever and a silver fox collar of restrained propor tions. It is an exquisite coat, adds a richness to one's appearance and at the same time is extremely practical.
VI. QUITE jaunty is a smart rosewood lapin
sports ensemble, with coat, beret and bag to match This coat has fitted lines, a novel round collar, sleeves that form lucks to make a fitted cuff and watching cord to tie it in place of a belt. Or, of course, you can wear a more conservative belt of suede if you choose.
THESE give you a fair idea of the changed styles this year, Length, cut, collars and cuffs, and the fars around the bottom of the skirt. Remember these, then pick your pelt, and you're sale.di
Richer fabrics are being chosen for winter clothes, and furs are being used more, especially for trimming,
White fur makes its appearance on dark materials. Ermine is very effective as a narrow border, LANA
Likewise dark fur cuffs and collar add charm to light cloth coats. Draped fur collar one-sided fur borders. for on the sleeves placed well above the cuffs, and sep arale scaris of fur are becoming very popular,
Fur must be soft. Justrous and supple. It must con Iribute something to the charm of the whole ensemble
