TYPICALLY AMERICAN is the mink coat displayed on the seated Agure. It has wide armholes and a streamlined collar, and is cut on modified swagger lines, with bell-shaped sleeves.

HANDSOME RUSSIAN coracul is used to make the formal daytime coat at left, above. Note the enormous shapi collar of silver fox and the closely mold- ed, wrap-around silhouetic.

FRENCH sophistication and Hollywood glam-

our are cleverly combined to make this win- fer's fur coats creations of smartness and chic. In addition, they are practlenl, wearable and designed for comfort as well as beauty.

Look for deep armholes that give case without bulkiness. And at the new sleeves with decora tive fullness extended in a pointed outline just under the elbows, with the lower part of the sleeve treated like a tapering cuff wection.

Don't forget the importance of collars. There are modified sailors and tunnel collars, with wind-blown revers on sports and daytime coats amalyalipoamined and huge cape-like varieties on

more formal types.

Formal daytime coats, by the way, have never been more luxurious. Made of mink, Russian caracul, Persian lamb, beaver and many other expensive fura, they preserve the closely molded, wrapped silhouette, varied occasionally by slight detalla of bloused fullness at either side of the back or front of a bodice.

Informal daytime fashions are straight-lined and Atted through the bodice with flat-button, front arrangements. Some, belted in front, are full across the back.

Classic swaggers, are widely featured. These come in all the Inexpensive daytime furs, in- cluding lapin, muskrat and Hudson scal.

For evening, the smarily dressed woman will wear either a cape or a wrap with cape sleeves, One three-quarters model of mink has the fur in spider web design across the back, proving that fur coats have been lifted out of the something- to-keep-you-warm category. If that's not proof enough, wait until you see the jewelled clasp fastenings that ure used on evening wraps of mink, ermine and curacul.

Remember to select your fur coat for its quality as well as its style points. Study the fur market before you set out to buy. Any smart shopper should know that lupin ls shaved rabbit and therefore shouldn't' cost a great deal more than plain rabbit; that Hudson seal-is dyed musk- ral and shouldn't be much more expensive than livge or brown muskrat; that the white hairs in a genuine allver fox collar are dark at the root, dark at the tip, and white in the middle, while imitation once (cailed "pointed pelts" by dealers) always have haira that are white from and to end.

Natural silver fox is expensive, of course, 'and you can expect to pay a good price for a fur coat that's trimmed with it. However, a .cont. with imitation silver fox collar, handsome though It may be, ahouldn't cost much more than a wrap'

that's trimmed with dyed fox.

You get luxury and style.

in these glamorous wraps for winter days-and they are also very comfortable

AT THE LEFT is a seven- eighths length swagger coat of Pa- sian lamb with an interesting collar that forms a frame for the face. The raglan sleeves, full at elbows and trimly fitted at wrists, and the deep slit pockets, give this model an air of chic nonchalance.

PERFECT for town is the trinily filled coal of gray squirrel shown below. It has the new santer collar and comfortable sleeves that are quite full.
