AH, Fronct, Aug. o, 1909. Vry lone fur cotta ar showa In th Tar depart mnt of th Bu d 1 Pais fuhlon authoritlM, mad on fairly atraiffht Unas. Silver fox will b moat prised for axpanalT fur ata. In low eoat fura akunk la hold In great eateem In Parla and for aereral aeaaona now haa been much worn by verr well-areaaed women. 1 Tbla coming winter a treat deal of
nee of It and ether fur will be made for trimming oloaks, dreasea, etc., aa well aa for neck piece and muff aeta. Ample dolmaallke mantlea are the neweat fur wraps, but the cloaer fitting cloak will prevail while motoring la ao much In favor. Keck piece for walking costumes are small and the shapes are Jaunty "ties" In many cases. For afternoon and carriage toilettes the wide scarf, ao soft that It can be drawn closely about the neck, or allowed
to widen out over the shoulders Is the high style novelty. This Is often made of bands of fur connected by a flexible fabric, that scarcely shows even when the scarf la at Us widest. Seal haa had great vogue in long coata for two yean In Paris. It la not a very becoming fur, however, and Par-
Ksiennea prefer the fluffy fura. Fancy
linings are used In many of the fur coats, and all are made with a collar that can be rolled high about the throat. If desired. One novelty on the fur coats at one house Is a collar that can be buttoned on or left off so that a contrasting small fur neck piece can be worn with a muff matching the neck piece. Fur Is used cleverly for half linings In huge motor coats of wool cloaklngs, producing a garment that is warm enough for motoring or driving, yet leas'
clumsy than the full fur lining. These coats have a huge fur collar In shawl shape, and sometimes cuffs of fur often in contrast to the fur lining that being a flat fur, and the outside trimming fluffy. ' In Parts, where fashion la an art, the hat and the fur neck piece and muff are selected to ault the atyle of the rest of the toilet. One does not wear a Napoleon hat with a Moyen Age dress nor aa early Victorian scarf with a Louis XV. marquise gown. Ceclle Sorel, who Is considered the very beet dressed woman in Paris, adores furs, and lovea wide fur scarfs and 'wears silver fox with on gown, and crown sablea with another, ' and chinchilla with another toilet. Tea, muffs are atlll large, but more or less padded toward barrel shapes.
HOW TO PRESERVE FURS
Probably yen hira had Tour fun stored! all summer at a professional furrier's, where they have been kept In . a cold storage vault where the temperature registers so low that moths are impossible. The care that fars are given, both In cleaning and storing, la so excellent that the wise woman will consider ft a saving Instead of aa unnecessary expense to have her fura cared for by a reliable furrier. The cost of cleaning them more than equals the saving of wear and tear from moths and dust they would be subject to at home. : Fun when taken out In the fall, es- ' peclally If the owner , Is so unwise as to have kept them at home, are apt te have a mussed and crushed appearance. One simple method of making the pile stand up is to shape the garment lint and then wet the fur with clear sold water and a' clean clothes brush, brushing the hair the right way until the fur Is smooth. Then leave It to dry thoroughly and when dry beat the fur on the right side with a rattan cane. This will make the pile stand up. Another method of cleaning furs which
la as excellent as It Is easy. Is to clean
Lthem with bran. Fill a dlshpan with
bran and set It in the oven to warm. Rub the warm bran Into the fur again and again until every spot has been gene over several times. When the bran becomes soiled throw It away and replace It When the fun are clean, brush them well until every particle of the bran has been removed. Hang out of doors for a day or two and the fur will be soft, fluffy and full of life. Cold bran , will not do the work, and for this reason the bran must be kept warm all during the process. This method will not injure the lining. To keep furs of any kind fresh they must not only be cared for frequently during the season. Brush them thoroughly and beat several times with a rattan cane, then air them for twelve hours. This process will rid them of all dust and loose hair. They will have to be cleaned several times during the season. Every time furs are taken out of the cloeet they should be shaken several times. This will raise the hairs up and make the fur fluffy. There is not much danger of motha
during the winter, but one may get In furs occasionally and for this reason it Is well to examine them carefully frequently, for moths or possibly moth eggs. Mend the furs as soon as a tear appears, for the pelt tears easily when once it has started. To be mended successfully and so that. the mend will not show, the fur should be mended on the wrong side. The two sides should be . held together and the fur should be carefully pushed down between the two edges so none remains above the seam. It should be sewed together with strong twine or thread, with an over
and over stitch, taking up as little ofi
the pelt as possible for a seam. This method takes a good deal of time and makes a lot of work, as the lining and padding must be removed before the wrong side of the fur can be reached, and for this reason some persons prefer using the less thorough method of mending the fur on the right side. This may be done so that the seam will scarcely show if the work Is done skilfully and carefully. Draw the two sides of the tear together firmly, taking
small stitches as near to the edges of the tear as It Is possible. In sewing the fur, try not to get the hair tangled In the thread, for thia will give the tear a mussy and rumpled appearance that will look bad. If the work Is carelessly done the seam Is sure to show. Keep the lining of the furs clean by sponging away the furs as It appears with a piece of cotton batting dipped in gasoline. All linings can be cleaned in this way without removing them from the fur If they are not too soiled. When the lining becomes worn select a good quality of gray or white satin for lining, or if compelled to be more economical, select a shade which matches the fur. Rip the old lining out and use It for a pattern, laying It on the new and then cutting It out. Baste the lining in carefully and then - sew it In firmly with a simple hemming stitch. If the padding seems to have lost Its fluffiness it may also be replaced. If the satin la of light weight an Interlining of flannel or flannelette is sometimes Inserted In the fur collar or throw to give It body, as well as extra warmth. This Interlining Is basted to the satin forms and the seams joined.
