London fashion decrees that the black coats seen everywhere should be mainly of cloth, Persian lamb, broad-tail cloth, and velvet, with collar, cuffs, and, perhaps, long revers or slabs ot fur on the skirt, the fur most frequently being fox or lynx. The fox is of presumably every variety that ever left a lair, but beige-dyed is first favourite. The best houses are only using flank lynx—that is, the very light part which is spotted with black. The back part of the animal is omitted since its fawn-grev hairs are too reminiscent of the lowliest of rabbits, the homely, field variety. With a coat, on which there is a'big collar and edging of flank lynx, it is obvious that every woman'will prefer to wear a small hat and that the collar should enfold the back of the hat. Consequently, “small” is just a comparative term Often the hat is just a tightly drawn-on “bathing cap” of felt with a bias band made to cross on the front of the crown to form an ornament.
