HE cynic who said "The less you see of any woman the better she looks" would have been com-

pletely satisfied if he could have

seen some of the fashions that I've been looking at in the London collections re- cently.

Many of the new coats for smart ocen- sions are so smothered in fur-silver foxes for see of their preference that all you can

wearers are their eyes, and even these are so large and mountainous that it would almost be correct to say "collars this season have coats."

Silver fox skins are also sometimes used in rows from the waist of the cost to the bem, and uf- ten make luxurious cuffs, too.

ORTUNATELY, by reason of their price, these coats will be only for the few, and the rest of us may feel content that we will, in spite of the above- quoted cynic, look better in the less exagger- ated modes.

This is Paquin's first show in their reconstructed and enlarged salons, which are exquisitely decorated in palest grey for walls and carpet and black furniture. It's a most versatile collection.

Hartnell's later coats are very distinctive, and he has some novel ways of laying on his foxes. Look at the coat in the sketch, which is one of is best. It's black velvet, and the bid of silver fox is detachable. The muff may be adapted for wear as a stole. The small sketch at the

QTIEBEL is yet another - of the well-known designers who commenced showing this week. He, too,,: used fur trimmings on nearly every boat--but with difference.

He has brondiall backs to black zibeline costs; galline sleeves, nutria wulst- coats and revers, golden seal boleros, He reserves his silver and blue foxes for evening coats and capes.

For the most part these conts ure elegant and very wearable, but there were Just one or two rimined With
