FUR TRIMMING THE VOGUE

According to Fashion’s Present Edict It Is Almost Impossible to Overdo It. Surely Ihere never was a time when the economical woman could more gladly bring out from the moth balls all the fur she has inherited and bought. She can have it dipped and combed and put it on every gown that 3he will wear this winter. The nightgown is almost the only robe that is not fur trimmed, and one would not be surprised to see one appear with an edge of sable at sleeves and hem. Sable is in first style for everything. It is used in 15-inch borders on evening wraps, in ten-inch borders on afternoon gowns, and in three-inch borders on ball gowns. On the latter it is combined, or rather held down at intervals, with huge dull red silk roses. One sees it combined with flowers on a great majority of gowns, not for street wear, of course, but for all manner of house occasions. Chinchilla is shown again, but not in dyed marten, sealskin, and dyed otter, as well as its natural condition, is very fashionable and is used on chiffon and satin or tunics and coats. Narrow edges of all the brown furs Eire run on sleeves and the drapery on the bodice, and one sees it also on tabs that hang from the waist in severe elongated directoire fashion. It is supreme in millinery. Hats for all hours are trimmed with it. Every turban is to have a border of it. Fisher, badger, skunk and grebe are used with lynx, dyed marten, sealskin, and dyed otter. Sealskin Is especially smart on hats and the woman who has any of it in good condition can turn it Into a high plaited turban and border It with three Inches of brown fur; if sable, all the better. If she wants this hat for afternoon wear she can have one rose at the side or front —preferably a huge, dull red one. This black-red tone, which is the color of blood, is very much the fashion in gowns, in wraps and especially in roses.
