The Ideal Husband

According to answers to a query in a Trench newspaper, the ideal husband should have the following qualities:— He should be athletic and healthy* Ambitious. Respectful towards religion. Well trained socially. Dependable and considerate^ Chivalrous. Appreciative of the good andbeau- * tiful things in life. Optimistic and good-natured.

The gloves bodly stitched and the scarves having a turn-over ■ edge stitched in the same way with a dark thread. f If you think the chamois is too warm for a jerkin copy the idea in soft yellow woollen or heavy crepe.

Designers continue to experiment with fur. The processing of fur has become so perfected that it is now sufficiently pliable to act in many cases as a substitute for fabric. So one finds it used for pockets, belts, sleeves, waistcoats, and inserts of all lcinds.

Pur "pieces" are as popular as ever. One new scarf made of breitsehwantz (the flattest and softest and glossiest lamb) is worn twisted round the throat and has wide gathered ends. This is perfect to wear with a collarless coat, or a wollen dress that has no coat.

The same fur is made into little Victorian tippit capes that fit the shoulders and reach nearly to the elbows. These only have tiny collars and are fastened across the front with braid "frogs."

They are also dyeing furs, sometimes bright colours —and usually broadtail ana caTaeul arc used for this purpose.

I cannot say I like it in red (worn with brown), but a navy blue caracul scarf filling in the square neckline of a grey coat was knotted as casually as a silk square, and looked charming. RUTH SIBI/EY.
