MOLESKIN COATS IN FAVOR

If Anything, They Have Advanced in Popularity Since the Beginning of the Season. Long coats of moleskin are a fad of the moment, and judging from the number seen, they will continue in popularity throughout the season. They are lovely in color and texture. The pelts are supple enough for graceful handling, but the fur is not so practical as the tougher furs, nor has it the permanent value of the more expensive furs. Coats showing two furs in combination are also fashionable. Hudson or French seal and moleskin in combination are popular and more effective than one would imagine. The coloring is somber but rich. Long, straight scarfs and huge muffs made of these two furs are very lovely, while moleskin combined with ermine in long coats is beautiful, the soft gray and white making a most charming effect. Cloth coats trimmed with moleskin are very much more to be desired {han those trimmed With a cheaper fur. These fur trimmed models are made In all degrees of richness and can be had at prices that suit the purse of any one buying a handsome coat. Hats, motor bonnets and gowns are trimmed with, the soft fur which blends well with almost any color that may be selected.
