Individual Capes for Both Shoulders and a Girdle of Wooden Beads Give Unusualness to This Coat-Dress of Black Silk Serge and Mepkey Fur, By Mme. F rances The Famous Creator of Fashions R is much in vogue at Thanksgiving season as a trimming for both dresses and suits. In the realm of the for- mer it is not restricted solely to the needs of the coat frock, bus appears with equal frequency on the modes that are destined particularly for wear when turkey and football .and. harvest festivals occupy the attention. There is great variety in the furs used, both - long and short-haired pelts being favored for adorning the dress or suit. § While coarse furs are greatly affected this winter, that does not preclude the use of the softer pelts when the beauty of the individual garment will be accentuated thereby. The models that I have chosen to illus- trate this tendency reveal also many of leasing style tendencies that distin- the wardrobe of the fashionable woman. Suits are always of interest at this time of the year, so I have selected one that clearly reveals the silhouette I admire, It is made of fawn broadcloth, which, by the , is again in high favor. Its silky texture is unusually pleasing and it lends itself well to the graceful lines on which the winter suits are modelled. Bordered with Natural Blue Fox The skirt, as you will note, is much longer than those that have been so mod- ish of late, for the era of the very short skirt is Passing, except in the domain of | those that are designed especially for sport wear, but these, after all, are compara- tively few, for devotees of strenuous out- door games seem to prefer knickers in place of skirts. : The coat is exceptionally long and is bordered with natural blue fox. The col- lar is set high about the neck, while the sleeves are cut with erous width, which permits the use of dsome fur cuffs. The lining is partly visible, for the fronts of the coat are shorter than the back, and I have used a fine black satin for this pur- pose, as it accords nicely with the broad- cloth. : The frogs that fasten the coat are fab- ricated from black and fawn silk. I should have remarked that this is a three-piece suit, for such creations are really more harming than the two-piece affairs, if one excepts the severely tailored models. The upper part of the bodice, with the upper part of the sleeves, is made of black RP 13 5 satin, while the lower part of the waist, as well as the tightly wrinkled under- sleeves, are cut from the fawn broadcloth. The turban, created excl u- gively to be worn with this cos- tume, is made of brocade, enliv- ened with black and silver and old metal reads. At one side a handsome fawn-colored os- trich feather is placed, for feath- b [hanksgivi A f} Russian from the Tip of Her Coque-Trimmed Fur Turban to the Tips of Her Cossack Boots.

A 'handsome cape follows the lines of the skirt in the back, but in the front one discovers that. there are generous, deep, fur-cuffed sleeves.

In the front it is crossed over and finished with large fur-trimmed buttons at the waistline. - .

At the present time there is much interest expressed in the coat dress. Therefore, I have pictured a charming model fashioned from black silk serge. Its resemblance to a coat is strik- ingly marked, and this is more strongly emphasized in the scarf that hangs from each shoulder to the sleeves. The latter are modelled with wide ends, from which This matches the on the scarves and this style note 8 monkey fur. w x The Chinese influence will be found in every realm of dress and its accessories during the winter season.
