A few of them are all ermine; I but these, of course, are the very ex-i ex-i pen.slve models. I White coney is a humble first cousin ,T of the ermine, which has managed to j obtain a place In high society. It is II not always easy to tell genuine white J ' i mfne from the soft and really beauti- , ful white coney, though the latter fur i l much cheaper to buy Sometimes 'r rrmine and coney are blended in the ! me wrap and ii;-ually a sprinkling ,.I:J of black ermine tails is enough to con- vey the all ermine suggestion to an j ..i'ff average observer And after all, what j Jfjl docs it matter, so Ion? a wrap is really j attractive and smart?

Even a chiffon sleeve Is warmer i than no sleeve at all when a chilly j ' east wind blows off the water and hll- I lows of thick fog come rolling In. l ' Very comfortable, at such time, to cud dle into a fur wrap, even Ihough the date be mid-July, but the fur wrap must be feather-light and not burden J some to carry about The wrap-build ers havo seen to this; the little fur I pelisses and capelets for summer time ' are the daintiest affairs imaginable The beautifully dressed skln. soft and I supple as silk, arc lined with chiffon jU or with silk moussellnc, or very soft ' ' 1 light weight satin, and summer fur k wraps dispense with quantities of dangling tails and animal heads or in fact anything that could add an ex tra ounce of weight "When not aetu- . ally in use the must be carried on I V ji 'he arm and a heavy fur wrap on a jl warm day before that chilly wind 1 KH from the sea blows up would be an ill abomination to carry about.

Winter Furs Rest While Summer Furs Reign m i If one must wear furs In mid-sum- 1 1 mer and it has been proved how 1 , ' practical they are aside from ihelr un-l disputed smartns it is by far thi 1 (-I plan to have a distinctly different ' ret of summer peltry and wnd all the' Tv'.nii-r furs to cold r.;-fgc for the hot ' V M spell. Furs are like plants; they have I nU to rest once In a while between sea- ' jjijj sons of blooming out in beauty, and IJ' the fur neckpiece or coat that was i - SirJ worn month in and month out with m, no period of recuperation would soon 41 v become shabby and lifeless looking Fur recovers Its gloss in cold storage and Its vibrant quality. Even if a garment Is not made over during the off-season, It comes forth from Its re-I re-I tirement In a frigid icmpentturc sev-' sev-' eral times newer and younger looking i than when it went In during those days , of golden spring sunshine. So the j winter furs should be sent lo cold stor-' stor-' age promptly with the llrt warm days land summer furs substituted. Oddly enough April Is the most "fur-less" "fur-less" month of the year. Everybody Is so tired of wintry wearables and j the mind turns to fresh spring suits, shiny straw turbans and light weight 1 footwear furs are a perfect drug on 1 the market and one cannot abandon them too soon. Very few so-called summer furs arc worn in April and u few belated winter furs appear only j on bleak lefl-ovcr-froni-March days. ' But In May the summer furs begin to ' come into their own. Furnaces have I gone( out and, unless the sun shlne.s and the wind is from the south people are shivery, and then comes that depressing de-pressing mid May storm that always makes folk wonder if summer Is o.er coming, and think lovingly of the fox and sal and opossum wearables that were consigned to cold storage April first. Then indeed, Is ihc time when summer furs begin to come Into their own. Fox The Favorite For Nr. k pi. . g Among the ummcr fur scarfs there are models in opossum. Austral-Ian Austral-Ian chinchilla and other pelts; but fox is far and away the favorite, and all grades of fox are among those present. A very handsome taupe fox scarf with animal head and long brush Is pictured. pic-tured. The scarf falls most gracefully from the "shoulders, held by clasped paws, tbe brush swinging at the back. This is the way Fashion decrees that a neckpiece of thLs sort shall be worn, and the longer and more luxuriant the ! swinging brush at the back, the smart, er the effect This brush, you see, falls quite to Iho hip and the laupe scarf is very stunning with a dark blue Georgette frock, which has an Interesting Inter-esting girdle made of white beads. Taupe fox is most dear to fashion Just now, though gray fox is very good also. ( White fox Is worn but is not as fashionable fash-ionable as It was a year or two ago ! when every other woman had a white fox pelt about her throat, however warm the summer day. Black furs are not much worn In summer limo except by women In mourning. There arc a few neckpieces of lynx or blark fox for wear with special costumes, but the average woman prefers taupe or 'gray -which may bo worn with all ; frocks and tailormades In addition to j the long-brushed neckpieces thero are ' bonny little cravats of seal, mole and ) beaver, some of them dalntiflcd with ermine knots or fac ings. A cravat, however, must be worn t ljrli t arouml the throat or not at all; whereas a fur scarf may swing from the shoulders and add to the costume wl'.hout causing caus-ing a suffocated feeling If the day is oppressive Chiffon And Fur Make An ideal Summer Sum-mer Wrap One of the wraps pictured commends com-mends Itself by its practical qualities as well as'by Its -martness. It Is the-wrap the-wrap of brown chiffon with collar and band trimmings of taupe fox. There is sufficient warmth In this light wrap with Its big fur collar for anv summer evening, yet the garment has a summery sum-mery and consistent effect lacking In an all-fur cape There arc slashes at each side, edged with the fox banding I SuruTne;0 TurWrap of Seal with Irmme Ueck-Tacin& and above the fur band at the bottom Is a deep tuck In the chiffon an lm- por'ant style detail. There Is a fur 'belt under the transparent wrap ami to this belt the fronts arc attached giving giv-ing the pclLsso effect. A superb hat -of chantllly lace and gold lace, with small brown ostrich tips around the crown, accompanies this dressy wrap. Fichus of I i miii Mid Daintiness A summer fur wrap Is not supposed to hug the throat very closely It Is Intended to provide protection for the' shoulders rather than the, neck which i I rarely has to be bundled up In sum- j mertlme. So these gay little wraps j are often quite open at the front, prov- I lng by this tine contempt for garments that claim to be chest or throat pro-1 I lectors the.jr truly summery character.
