Absurd poaftlbly, yet smart Pa-rlslonnes Pa-rlslonnes are having coats and small fur sets dyed bright green, brownLsh yellow yel-low and mauve. The full length fur coat seems to be doomed this year, and In Its place will rclgn the graceful and coquettish hip wrap, hugging the limbs closely and fastening far across to one side at the front. These graceful llttlo wraps are promised a great vogue this winter. Some of the prettiest models are In iSTUNXIN'G SET OF POXY GOAT. Hudson teal, others are of moleskin, broadtail or caracal, with gay little necktlee of ermine. The really exclusive fur of the sea-eon sea-eon Is of brown coloring. This favor for brownish fur owes Its being, of course, to tho marked favor for brown costumes. Among the most beautiful I of the brown pelts is mink, always an ! expensive fur on account of its ex- j travagant price. Cheap Imitation mink ' Is unthinkable to the woman of refln-1 ed taste, nnd those who will wear Imitation Imi-tation sealskin, moleskin and even ermine er-mine balk at the dreadful "hand painted" paint-ed" mink, with its distinguishing dark1 streak applied by Bomo artificial : means. A few seasons ago, too. nobody would have thought of wearing the reddish brown pelt of the humble fox of fence corners and fields. Now red fox Is tremendously tre-mendously popular and entranclngly becoming to women with red glints In their hair. Cross fox, which ha a soft yellowish tone mixed with brown, also la a fain. vortte, and an old favorite revived Is otter, which shades from a deep glossy brown to a warm chestnut. Skunk will be more fashionable than aver, and. alas, tho price of skunk keeps on mounting with steady and discouraging persistency. Five years n:ri It could be had for a song.

Tho muff is qulto different from tho effect of the neckpiece, for it is merely a big plain pillow shapo. showing show-ing off the beauty of tho fur to the utmost ut-most adantage. the white fluffy part at the edge taking tho placo of any velvet trimming. Slnro this set Is from an exclusive furrier It Is an argument In favor of Ihe high style of tho animal scarf and tho big pillow muff, but this detail Is to bo decided by the individual taste of the woman of fashion since even the makers of styles cannot dictate what is to be tho most becoming, and tho woman who asserts her Individuality Individual-ity even when adhering close to tho lines of the latent fashion in bum tn be more attractively garbed than tho I woman who follows without thinking.
