Not only will they be worn In wraps and coats and in neckpieces and muffs, but alro In trimmings oa suits, frocks and even on indoor, neglipee garments like teagowns and breakfast gowns.

years a?o. Naturally therefore, sealskin is the pelt elect for distinguished trimming on winter suits and wraps, and women whose seal coats have been worn and worn until there Is no possibility of further wear, are having the best bits of the garment made Into neckpieces, muffs, coats, hats or smart little wraps if enough seal for a wrap can be achieved. It is wonderful what a furrier can do with scraps and bits of sealskin. The patience of

these

people!

They seem to think

noihlnsr of sewing together infinitessimal scraps and when the scraps are ail pieced together, behold a beautiful, unbroken texture on the outer tide! If ycu have ever tried to piece together small bits of fur to make a cravat or a hat. you have learned Krcat re?ppct for the fur-maker's art. And It Is th4ts very art that; makes your

furs and rr.Jr.e, thL winter, so cx

style are In demand Just now, and may or may not be matched by muffs. Oi must absolutely have a fur neckpiece when crisp fall weather arrives, but If necessary one can get along all winter without a muff. Iast winter fewer muffs were carried than had been the case in years. One reason for this Is the Importance, from a style standpoint, of handbaps. A muff and a handbag do not travel well together, and with a muff it Is not easy to show off a handsome bag always to best advantage. Another reason is the prevalence of scarf wraps which must be held in position with one or both hands. In a scarf wp of fur and carrying a muff and a handbag ehe wants to display, a woman is kept very busy indeed. Muffs are carried mostly with tailored suits, when neckpiece and muff plve a rich fnishintr note to the costume. Muffs are carried also with evening wraps a part of the luxurious ensemble; and in very cold weather a muff accompanies a fur jacket. But It is not necessary to add a muff to the formal afternoon costume when one wears a small fur wrap or scirf. Pockets In Fur Wraps Possibly pockets have had something to do with making muffs not absolutely essential. All the fur jackets have capacious pockets and pockets are set coquettishly In the small fur wraps even those Intended for evening wear. There are pockets In muffs too, for one's purse or vanity case. Woman has achieved pockets with the right to vote and garment makers are finding plenty of places for pockets, now femininity is demanding them. Two scarf wraps of the autumn season are pictured. The wraps are much alike but one is worn hanging straight down at the front

exemplified in a pictured neckpiece! of fisher one of the fashionable furs of the moment. Two animal pelts j with Ions: thick brushes fall at either j side, with dangllny paws between the j brushes; And there Is a smaller neck-1 piece attached, the short length of fur ! encircling the throat while the long j

ends trail over the shoulders. This Is a very handsome model and the extra collarette trimmed with paws Is a new idea, which will surely obtain favor as the collar makes the neckpiece etxra luxurious In suggestion. Furs That Are Favored The most fashionable fur for neckpieces this season is pointed very rich dark pelt Recked with white at the tips of the hairs. Fisher comes next in favor; then ordinary fox. There are seal and mole scarfs, collarettes and cravats for those who like the trim lines given by neckpieces of the shorter fur and if you cannot afford pointed fox or fisher you may have raccoon, skunk, wild lynx or wolf. Beaver Is a very high-priced fur and squirrel has stepped to a high place because It is Just now in fash-

squirrel preens itself in company with aristocratic rel's. You can get a'tlny tittle choker of kolinsky, sable, mink

or moleskin for twenty-five to two hundred and twenty-five dollars. And if you ket-p a sharp lookout for sales

you may pick up a very good looking dyed fox or raccoon neckplc-ce with brush and paws for under twenty-flv dollars, it pays to wait patiently for furs and never buy in a hurry. And always so to a place you know is reliable. 'Cheap furs that look and feel all right to your Inexpert Judgment may be a very bad bargain indeed. They may fade badly, or the pelt will soon wear thin and shabby, or the scraps of eewed-together skin may pull apart. It pays to get the best when you purchase furs, unless you are selecting some pelt raised suddenly to fashionable esteem and bound to go out of favor In a season or two. Squirrel Wraps In Spanish Style Squirrel is so fashionable Just now that you find it everywhere in collars, scarfs, cravats and wraps. One of these squirrel wraps, just from Paris, shows the Spanish influence for it is draped like a lace shawl, one side crossing over the other with an irregular line at the lower edge. A squirrel neckpiece and muff are pictured. The muff is in the melon shape, or barrel shape favored for this winter, and the neckpiece seems to be tied In a smart bow a new effect in fur. Another picture shows a cravat and muff of lealskin and here the exclusive seal is worn with a formal hat and handsome tailored Milt. Simple as the little seal cravat is, one cannot dispute its smartness and its distinction. It is accompanied by a rather small muff a site fancied for the coming season. Two very attractive wraps are illustrated. One is of dyed squirrel with an ample supply of brushes and paws; the other wrap is of moleskin and Is in three tiers, the arms emerging untX,r the second tier. This gives a graceful and comfortable garment which can be held on easily, without forever grasplr.s at the fronts with the hands.

course, one selects a rather heavy wool for this. There are dozens of ways to make baby sacques but r.o prettier way, one is iure, than the sacque rictured and the close little bonnet matching the sacqui Is enchanting. Both bonnet and Jacket are knitted, with a new openwork stitch forming Btrlpej la the knitted fabric Ribbing around tha edge of the Jacket and oa the ileires Jives a trim fit. and the ede of the cap is ribbed to make it clin closely around the little face.

A notable effect was cream Venetian lace bound with coral velvet at neck, short sleeve and tunic edge, the lace drepped over 4 black satin slip. It seems a pity, when so much lace Is wantei for frocks, th.it everybody is demanding it. also, for underwear.

this complicates the lace situaNUrhtgcwn?, chemises and pet-

For frocks Paris Is using wide flounclngs of lace, or of silk net embroidered in lace design. Chantilly flouncing with dotted tops are shown in black, cream and colors. Gray lace, dyed to match gray fabric is particularly smart. Both heavy and light laces are used. The rich Venetian and Irish laces are used with silk and velvet for afternoon frocks, and the delicate Chantilly. Mallnes and Mechlin patterns for dancing frocks. Flounces of taupe net embroidered in gold are

sumptuous; so are black net flounces embroidered with midnight blue spangles.

KITCHEN TOWELS VEHY good housewife is proud of her "dish-towels". Indeed it Ls said that a housekeeper may be

known by her drying dish-towels. Her neatness. carefulness, good taste, daintiness of habit, and so on may be judged not only by the quality of the towels but also by the way they are hung up precisely or carelessly by the way they are washed after each meal and by the way they are mended. Ragged, frayed out dlshtowels make a whole kitchen look unkempt and clean, neat, nicely hemmed towels give a corresponding effect of care and neatness to the kitchen.

HE happy little mother-to-be who puts away the lovely things brought to her by her friends, does not get any moro pleasure

Xo baby can have too many afghans. crib spreads and lap blankets. Most of these things have to be frequently laundered and after laundering knitted or crocheted articles are not half eo attractive. A coverlet any mother will appreciate is made of two strips of knitted worsted, set together with a crocheted scalloped edge.

The style of the dress is very s'.mpl Jut a flip, with rounded out neck and elbow sleeves, but the beautiful material and very handsome hand embroidery give a distinction that r.n amount of lace trimming could hope to equal. Baby dresses used to be made with tucked and embroidered yokes and eet-la sleeves and there was a deal of work, eettlr.5 the tiny seams together with fine velnlrp or beadlnr. Now the little dresses are cut, all in one piece with kimono lee ras aad the only seam comes nnder the arm. A very desirable gift to the new baby is a half dozen little slips of sheer handkerchief linen, cut oa the simple straight lines mentioned above and finished at neck and sleeves with hand ca'.loplni Tht lower edge should be hemmed with tiny hand stitches and the little slip fastens at the back with r.o 'nfinltesslmal buttonholes over lace buttons.
