The Wingham Advance, 1909-12-16, Page 8Emphatically is this to be a fUr sea -
for even though the weather indi-
Cations all point to a mild winter, or if
plans are made to spend the greater
part if this same winter in a warm cli-
mate, furs are esentiat to the peace of
mind of every woman who, by the way,
fin& it possible and prectieable to wear
them with the thermometer ranging any-
where from twenty to fifty degrees
above zero. Motoring has unquestion-
&Ay been responsible for much of the
wearing of fur coats. No cloth gar-
ment can be quite s0 comfortable or af-
ford such protection against the cold
when motoring, consequently a fur .mo-
tor coitt is included iu every outfit as a
matter of course, but this is not of the
same costly description as the fur coat
worn for driving or walking or, as this
winter, for an afternoon and evening
wrap.
Too long, too heavy or too warm, a
fur coat, when not to be worn motoring,
is a poor investment in many respects,
and in selecting the garment care should
be taken to avoid these defects. As oat
readily be understood, often the ques-
tion of .,expense has to decide, for as a
rule it is the more expensive that are
the more desirable bar these reasons, but
on the other hand many absurdly costly
coats are so heavy that they are quite
useless excepting to wear when driving
or motoring.
The long coat is again the. most fash-
ionable, but this state of affairs may
change at any momeut, for there are no
end of most attractive medium length
and short coats being
er made up for the
lea.ding furriers and dressmakers. So
that again a word of counsel may be of
service -to choose carefully a style that
is becoming and not so distinctive that
when the fashion changes it will be quite
impossible. For this reason a to tight
or too loose garment is an extravagance,
for the remodelling to make a fur coat
up to date is most expensive, and it is
far wiser to buy carefully and then
wear the sante coat for several seasons.
Sealskin Fashionable.
Sealskin is extremely fashionable and
the long seal eoats are most generally
worn. Unfortunately there are so many
imitations and so wonderfully like the
genuine skin that, with its almost prold-
bitive cost, a. real sealskin coat does not
fall to the lot of many. When price
counts for naught the sealskin coat of
to -day is a valuable possession, beauti-
ful in itself, of the finest skins and trim-
med with heavy shawl collar of lynx,
bear or skunk, •for the latter fur is im-
mensely popular at the moment.
There are also any number of most
effective seal coats made absolutely
plain, half fitted and loose, some almost
slumeless, but always so cut that the
linesare well indicated, if not clearly
defined. Precisely the same models are
made up in the cheaper furs that resem-
ble the real skins so closely, and there
are as well materials, like plush, that at
first glance are most deceptive in ap-
pearance, so closely do they resemble the
sealskin.
Ermine coats are one of the luxuries
of fashion, and are worn even in the day-
time as carriage coats with reception
gowns, as well as for the evening. For
the evening the loose cloak wrap, the
cloak with sleeves, is tee more appro-
priate model, and in the daytime the
half fitting eoat, long enough to reach
below the knees. This is trimmed. with
some dark fur that looks well against
thowhite, a broad band around the hem
and a band around the neck and down
the front. The sharp contrast is most
effective and makes the ermine much
is used for trimming. The all white fur
coats for evening are trimmed with
either dark or white fur as is preferred,
Litt tbe white is more often chosen.
Ermine, in truth, is this season com-
bined with almost every kind of fur.
With sable it is'fashionable; it is com-
bined with chinchilla,, and even with
beak or akunk. It would seem that ev-
ev effort was made to have it becom-
"WRAPS" BACK; LACE AND
VELVET.
"Wraps" is a gr,sd fashioned word
from long -gone days of fashion, but
it is eoming in again.
Wraps are really one of the features
of New York's in at fashion display
at the horse show recently. This
wrap eeemed to be all of lace though
its botly was velvet, hidden under
is. It extended down the front in
sttoe effect, affording a Vaat display
of the creamy whithitess, With it was
worn a sroall marabou fur neckpieee.
lag, for it must be admitted Oat et -mine
in itself is not a becoming fur -its short
hair and too dazzling white make it ex-
tremely trying unless to a young, per-
fect complexion.
Chinchilla is again in greatdemand,
as is always the case when times are
good. This also is a fur that is not gen-
erally becoming, but the wontan who can
wear chinchilla does well to invest in it,
for it is so extremely beconaing i fbe-
coming at all. It is always a costly fur
and unfortunately is not durable, but
requires great care in wearing and also
in being stored, for it changes color and
becomes yellow and dull looking, and
it is almost impossible to restore it to
its pristine freshness when it has once
become defaced. But the chinchilla coats
and mantles, the stoles and muffs of
this season are so marvelously attractive
Wet counting the cost will stand for
little. Most cleverly is chinchilla made
up this season so that the markings
stand out clear and distinct and the
fashion that prevails of the broad band
around the straight coat is both un-
usual and smart. Stoles and neckpieces
of ad kinds, with immense muffs, are
made of all chinchilla and of chinchilla
combined with ermine.
Muffs Very Large.
The muffs are enormous, absurdly tx-
aggerated in size, and are flat or round
as preferred. The bolster muff is fitsli-
ion's latest edict, the shape of a bolster,
almost as large, and heavily stuffed.
The fashion is too weird and eccentric
to gain any stable foothold, but it is to
be clewed among the styles of the season.
Breitschwarz coats, long and medium,
are of the glossy, silky skins and are
made plain or fur trifmed, or with braid
and a touch of Oriental embroidery in
the collar if it is small. This last idea
is rather a dangerous one to follow
rashly; it either is immensely effective
or looks poor and ineffective. Entire
costumes of the baby lamb or sealskin
are not to be forgotten among the coot-
ly furs of the winter; these are made in
the same design as the cloth, only it
is rather more practical to have a prin-
cess coat or a short coat and skirt rath-
er than the long coat and skirt. The
latter fashion is quite absurd, for it
means the two thicknesses of fur, one
over tho other. The difficulty some-
times is obviated by the skirt being fac-
ed for some distance up with the fur
and the top left plain, of satin or cloth,
with a waist to match, but general opin-
ion pronounces in favor of the long fit-
ted coat, which eau be worn over a
gown, although to all appearance it is
itself a finished gown.
The sets of fur are most attractive
this season, and are so becoming, as
well as so delightfully warm and com-
fortable, it is hard to resist investing
heavily in them. One, two and some-
times three entire skins of fox, the sil-
ver, the pointed or the sable, are fas-
tened to form the neekpieee, but with
the present inethod of treating or work-
ing the fur there is none of the disagree-
able arid unbecoming clumsiness that
was formerly so unpopular. The skins
are opened out flat, lined sometimes
with satin, but more ofteu with shirred,
corded or tucked chiffon. It requires a
tall, slender figure ,to 'carry off be-
comingly a stole or boa of double skins,
and as for the present fashion, none
can appear too slim or tall. The chiffon
lined fur collars are generally prefer-
red. Save the tiny fur ties, all neck-
pieces are extremely long this winter,
and in such skins as seal and sable are
of equai width the entire Tenth, which
may be anything from six to twelve in.
wide. These flat stole effects, or rather
scarfs, for they are on the plan of scarfs,
are most becoming and warm. The imi-
tation sealskins look especially well in
this model, and it is difficult to tell the
real from the imitation in many cases.
The flat muff is the most appropriate
with the flat neckpiece, and is besides
the most becoming,
Sable skins on chiffon or soft satin
arranged in scarf effect are considered
very smart this winter, and the beauty
of the fur shows to the greatest advan-
tage in this fashion. The skins aro put
close together on the chiffon, and 021 the
ends are arranged to go across, making
a most atractive finish. The entire ani-
mal in 'while
neckpieces is still pop-
lar, but while real sable never does go
out of fashion, some of the new longer
haired furs are often chosen by the wo-
man who buys most becoming styles 'of
dress. Fisher, a fur that has the same
coloring and marking as sable, but is
louger haired, and all the different spe-
cies of fox, so-called, are extremely be-
coming and are worn with all sorts of
gowns.

MOURNING FASHIONS OF
THE PRESENT ALLOW WIDE
RANGE OF CHOICE.
(By Margaret Hudson.;
Mourning fashions are much difierent
from those of a few years ago, when ,
rules were rigid and appropriate -miter-
ials scarce, The modern mour ter fol-
lows the lines of the latest oel.r end
hats elosely in a variety of faset.istisg
fabries, and the effect is distinctly smut.
More and more e.ornert are weeding
light mourning -sometimes as light that
it is hard to detect. There is it certain
incongruousness in fancy or conspicuous
black in the first days of grief.
Excuse for this is less, since never has
it been as possible to have mourning
that is truly distinguished in line and
fabric. True, crepe swathed blaek is
costly and not for years has crepe been
worn so extensively for at least three
months.
It is lightened, lowever'by combining
with net or tulle orerepede chine. Even
widows wear these eombinations. Crepe
braidings combined with tucked or knife
plaited net are seen on many handsome
blouses. Vroeks of soft wool or crepe
de chine have yoke and sleeves of not
banded with erepe folds.
A new way of making these folds is
to have tho crinkles fox& horizontal in.
stead of bias lines. Young widows for
evening dress wear entire gowns of
heavy dull filet net with braidings of
•
crepe and trimmed with unpolished jet
beads or cabochons.
Do not make the mistake of haviog
the folde too wide as it gives It heavy
air, &Judi' Inek athe favorite depth.
Redingotes and long side panelstake
broad flat bands. When these are car-
ried aerosa the bottom they may be
wider than the lengthwise bands.
Favorite. Materials for Frocks,
Favorite material's for mourning home
and evening frocks are dull silks and
etamines, silk . and wool, supple cash-
meres, armures both in silk and wool,
fine Henrietta cloths, and special mourn-
ing marquisettes and silk voiles. For a
less expensive gown a soft fine challis
falls irk greceful lines. Dull finished crepe
de chine is alwaye 400d and wears ex-
cellently.
For suits the first, choice is a serge of
a dead black. Among rougher cloths
are homespun luta ceetain cheviots.
When broadcloth ischosen it must be it
grade with least possible lustre. Long
coats are seen in rough cloths.
Mourning clothes axe not cheap at
best and are decidedly dear if one in-
dulges in cheap qualities. It is neces-
sary to pay more for all nutteria,ls than
when wearing colors, Forget this and
you will either go rusty or quickly have
to repleuish your wardrobe,
Watch the color carefully. Not every-
thing that is celled jet black deserves
its tide. Blue black, gray Mack aud
rusty brownish Week are apt to be
foisted on the unwary.
Long veils are worn more than over
even by young womem These neeti no
longer make the wearer look her own
grandmother, when draped on stylish
toques and good. sized turned up hats.
For older women the Marie Stuart
bonnet of crepe with the veil draped on
top of it is in much favor, This has
either it pointed or rounding front and
rarely fails- to be becoming.. It is es-
pecially good Woking when worn with
white crepe folds mitev the first three
months. With few exceptions veils are
not so long and cumbersome as former-
ly, coming just to the hips.
Silk Voile Worn From First..
Many women prefer silk voile or nuns
veiling voile from the first; others wear
them after crepe has been taken off un-
til the long veil is discarded. Older wo-
men frequently wear the crepe veil for
years, though this is less the custom
than formerly.
For young women the long veil either
of creep or voile hangs in narrow folds
straight down from back of crepe tur-
ban. Wheer it is becoming the side
draped veil of folds of crepe brought
over the square clown of a hat with nar-
row brim and failing over the left shoul-
der nearly to the waist is smart.
Girls and many other women wear the
short net veil bordered with crepe bands
from the first. These are less gloomy
than the heavy veiling cashmere or voile
that are draped on the hat to hang in
loose folds.
When the all crepe hat is not worn a
dull felt is chosen seimply trimmed witb
bands of crepe or dull silk. The trim-
minga may be small wings, ornaments
of unpolished jet, cabochons of silk or
jet, said wired tulle. The simpler a
mourning hat the smarter it is as a rule.
Silk Blouse Not So Popular.
• Though the taffeta and China silk
blouse is still worn it is not so popular
as the crepe de chine separate waist or
the filet nets trimmed with crepe or
dead silk bands.
Patent leather shoes are not good
form for Mourning, though many women
wear them. Gloves may be either glace
or suede. The latter is a little deeper
mourning, but the former give better
wear.

Evening -wraps are veiled.
Laces and embroideries are veiled.

BODICE DIFFERENT FROM SKIRT
A new costume idea involves 11
hodiee that is distinctly new because
it is of different material arid pattern
than the skirt. It is distinotly up
to date to have a bodice of lattice
cord, with a skirt of satin 'meteor, and
to wear with this a yoke and half
sleeves of embroidered cream lace.

hand Agrippa was disobedient to the
heavenly vision. Tro saw the Christ of
"the prophets and Mosee."He lcnew Paul
had spoken the truth. He was coneieved
that to be a Christian was right; that
to know and love and serve Christ was
seneible. But he turned, away from

DRADSTREET'S TRADE REVIEW
Montreal trade reports to Bradstreet's
say while wholesalers generally are still
busy with trade on Christmas goods,
there has been some natural easing in
the rush or ortlets. Businese, however,
is still heavy for even this time of the
year, runt it is how seen that the volume
of holiday trade has been considerably
in excess of that of last year,
Toronto' reports to Bradstreet's say
the holiday trade is now getting in full
swing, and there ded1119 every reason to
expect that its volume will be heavy.
In fancy goods, jewelry, toys and other
similar lines a good many rush orders
for further supplies are coining forward,
thus showing that trade is well above
the expectations of some months ago
when orders were placed.
• Winnipeg reports say good sleighing
is having an excellent effect upon general
trade there and throughout the coun-
try.
Vancouver and Victoria reports say'
there continues an excellent tone to
trade at these points and throughout
the Province.
Quebec reports to Bradstreet's show -
little change in trade conditions during
-
the week, which is due to unseasonable.
weather.
Hamilton reports say seasonable'
weather has given a much better tone to.
the retail trade in general lines of goods:
and there is now a brisk business moving:
in alt kinds of holiday supplies. In the.
latter conuection the .season promises to)
show large gains over last year. Loma
faetories continue busy and orders me
hand for spriug are reported large. Trade-
in building materials continues quite ac-
tive and values are steady toe lrm. Col-
lections are generally satisfactory.
London reports say general retail
trade has shown considerable improve-
ment during the past week.
Ottawa reports say an excellent busi-
ness is now ruining in general and it -1
holiday lines and eonntry trade is also
reported to have shown considerable im-
movement dining, the past week.
