NEW FURS

MUFFS AND TIPPETS

It is curious how furs have runs of popularity and then are for many years so definitely "not worn" as to have to be kept hidden away. Many people have large quantities' of skunk which this year, at last, they can bring forth, for skunk is the principal fur used by one designer this.season (states the "Manchester Guardian"). Another "come back," due possibly to the revival of almbst Victorian modes, is sealskin. Black sealskin makes collars, rovers, and caps; also coats to display magnificent trimmings of silver fox. Ermine is still tailless, so ermine discarded at the same period must remain in its silver-paper wrapping.

Ermine not only makes_ pure white evening coats but is cut into narrow strips and made almost •into a fabric and then tailored into'suits, using summer ermine of a pale shade. A new and attractive grey fur is Krimmer lamb, with a shaved surface patterned in stripes from pale to deep grey. Many round muffs are seen, also derived from tho 1880 period, and look well with high-necked capes and tippets, little caps high at the back and nose veils —nose veils as distinct from last year's "eya >veils," which wore worn as forehead bands or hair nets and did not reach the eye. The caps can be of fur. also, whilst the veil it the new stiffened one which sticks out like a waved brim or a poke bonnet, in front, and stops entirely at the sides of the back.
