The Wingham Advance, 1909-12-16, Page 10Emphatically is this to be a fur sea
*ion, 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 esential to the peace of
mind of every woman who, by the way,
finds it possible end practicable to wear
them with the thermometer ranging any-
where from twenty to fifty degrees
above zero. Motoring has unquestion-
ably been responsible for much of the
wearing of fur coats. .No cloth, gar-
ment eon be quite so comfortable or af-
ford such protection against the cold
when motoring, consequently a fur pe-
ter coat is included in 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
whiter, 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 can
readily be understood, often the ques-
tion of expense has to decide, for as ft
rule it is the more expensive that are
the more desirable for 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 inay
change at any moment, for there are no
end of most attractive medium length
and short coats being made up for the
leading 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 saine coat for several seasons.
Sealskin Fashionable.
Sealskin is extremely fashionable and
the long seal coats are most generally
worn. Unfortunately there are so many
imitations and so wonderfully like the
genuine skin that, with its almost prohn
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 Silft\Vi 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
shapeless, but always so cut that the
lines are 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
sea (skin.
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 the more appro.
printe model, and in the daytime the
half fitting, coat, long enough to reach
below the knees. This is trimmed with
some dark fur that looks well against
thewhite, a broad band around the hem
and a band around the neck and down
the front. The sharp contrast is most
efeective 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,
lea the 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 corn-
bined with chinchilla, and even with
bear ot. skunk. It would seem that ev-
cp: effort was made to have it beeonn
"WRAPS" BACK; LACE AND
VELVET.
"Wraps" is a good fashioned word
frOm long -gone days of fashion, but
It is eoming in again.
Wraps are really one of the feature%
of New York's great fashion display
at the horse show recently. rhis
wrap seemed to be all of lace though
it body was velvet, hidden under
lace. It extended down the front in
stole ffeet, affording a vast dieplav

ing, for it must be admitted that ermine
in itself is not a becoming fur -its short
heir and too dazzling white Make it ex-
tremely trying unless to a young, per-
fect complexion.
Chinchilla is again in great demand,
as is always the case when times are
good. This also is a fur that is not gen
-
mealy becoming, but the woman who can
wear chinchilla does well to invest in it,
for it is so extremely becoming 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
thet 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 baud
around the straight coat is both un-
usual and smart. Stoles and neckpieces
of all kinds, with immense muffs, are
made of all chinchilla and of chinchilla
combined with ermine.
Muffs Very Large.
The muffs are enormous, absurdly x-
aggerated in size, and are flat or round
as preferred. The bolster muff is fash-
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 closed among the styles of the season,
Breitschwarz coats, long and medium,
are of the glossy, silky skins and are
made plain or fur trifrned, 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 cost-
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 the other. The difficulty some-
times is obviated by the skirt being fac-
ed for some distance up with the fur
and the tap 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 can 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 WitrIn 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 neckpiece, but with
the present method 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 pometirnes
with satin, but more often with shirred,
corded or tucked chiffon. It requires a
tall, slender figure , to berry 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 equal width the entire length, 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 fiat neckpiece, and is besides
the most becoming.
Sable skins on chiffon or soft satin
arranged in scarf effeet are considered
very smart this winter, and the beauty
of the fur shows to the greatest advan-
tage in this fashion. The skins are put
close together on the chiffon, and on the
ends are arranged to go across, making
a most atraetive finish. The entire ani-
mal in sable neckpieces is still popu-
lar, but while real sable never does go
out of fashion, some of the new longer
haired furs are often choeen by the wo-
man who buys most becoming styles of
dress. Fisher, a fur that has the same

MOURNING FASHIONS OF
THE PRESENT ALLOW WIDE
RANGE OF CHOICE.
(By Margaret Hudson.)
Mourning fashfons are much different
front those of a few years ago, when
rules were rigid. and appropriete -tinter-
ials scarce. The modern inour lee fol-
lows the lines of the latest :rent end
hats closely in a variety of fa.scia.iting
fabrics, and the effect is distinctly smut.
Moro and. more women are weaeing
light mourning-sonietimes 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
Ib been as possible to have mourning
that is truly distinguished in line and
fabric. True, erepe swathed black is
costly and nob for years has crepe been
worn so extensively for at least three
months.
It is lightened, however, by combining
with net or tulle oreerepe de chine. Even
widows wear these eombinations. Crepe
bandinge eoinbined With tucked or knife
plaited net are seen on many handsome
blouses. Frocks of soft wool or crepe
de shine have yoke and sleeves of net
banded with crepe folds.
A new way of making thee° folds is
to llaVe the crinkles for& horizontal he
stead of biro lines. Young widows for
evening dress wear k ntir one% Of
wavy dull filet -net with ba.ndings of
crepe and trimmed with unpolished jet
bead or cabochons.
Do not make the mistake a haNing
tho folds too wide as it gives a heavy
air, a, half int+ is' the favorite depth.
Redingotes and long side panels take
broad flat bands. When these are car-
ried across the bottom they may be
wider than the lengthwise bands.
Favorite Materials for Frocke.
Favorite materials for mourning home
and °venlig; frocks are dull silks and
eternities, talk and wool, supple cash-
meres, armies both in silk and wool,
fine Henrietta cloths, and special mourn-
ing marquisettes and. silk voiles. For a
less expensive gown a soft fine dons
falls in graceful lines. Dull finished crepe
de chino is always good and. wears ex-
cellently.
For suits the first eholee is a. serge of
a dead black. Among rougher cloths
are homespun and certain cheviots,
When broadeloth is chosen it must be a
grade with least possible lustre, Long
mite are seen in rough cloths.
Mourning clothes are not cheap at
best aud are decidedly dear if one in-
dulges in cheap qualities. It is neces-
sary to pay more for all ,materials 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 called jet black deserves
its title. Blue Meek, gray black and
rusty brownish Week are apt to be
foisted ou the unwary.
Loeg veils are worn more than ever
even by young women. These need no
longer make the wearer look lune OW11
grandmother, when draped on stylish
toques and good sized turned. up hats.
For older women the Marie Stuart
!rennet of crepe with the veil draped on
top of it ds in much favor. This has
either a pointed or rounding front and.
rarely fails- to be becoming. It is es-
pecially good Woking when worn with
white crepe folds after the first three
months. With few exceptions veils are
not so long and cumbersome as former-
ly, coming just to the bips.
Silk Voile Worn From First..
, Many women prefer silk voile or nuns
veiling voile front the first; °Om 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 youug 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 crown of a hat with nar-
row brim and falling 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
tban the heavy veiling cashmere or voile
that are draped on the hat to hang in
loose folds.
When the all crepe hat is nob worn a
dull felt is chosen scimply trimmed with
bands of crepe or dull silk. The trim-
ming., may be small wings, ornaments
of unpolished jet, cabochons of silk or
jet, and wired tulle. The simpler a
mourning hat the smarter it is as a rule.
Silk Blouse Not So Popular.
Though the taffeta and China siik
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.
FLASHES OF STRANGE
SHOES AT HORSE SHOW.
Lifted skirts disclosed, amid the
horse show dust, in New York re-
cently, the new strap -style in shoes.
Some of the shoes were very high
and had as many as 10 straps. Soft
and very brilliant patent leather was
the favorite material.
VEILING.
IL's a craze.
Faces are veiled.
Dresses are veiled.
Evening wraps are veiled.
Laces and embroideries are veiled.
A string of pearls is worn under chif-
fon.
Of yore mousseline was put under all
fine laces.
Now we put the mousseline on the
outside, Red truth to tell, the lace looks
all the lovelier underneath.
BODICE DIFFERENT FROM SKIRT
A new costume idea involves it
bodice that is distinctly new becauae
it ia of different material and pattern
than the skirt. It is dietinetly
to date to have it bodice of Iattiet
cord, with it skirt of satin meteor, and
to wear with this it yoke and half
eleeves of embroidered cream Mee.

BRADSTREET'S TRADE REVIEW
Montreal trade reports to Ilradateeet's
say while wholesalers generally are still
busy with trade on Christmas goods,
there has been some natural easing in
the rush or orders. Business, however,
is still heavy for even this time of the
year,. end it is now seen that the volume
of holiday trade has been coneidembly
in excess of that of last year.
Tomtit& repoits to Bradstreet's say
the holiday trade is now getting in full
swing, and there seems -every YeaS011 to
expect that its volume will be heavy.
In holey goods, jewelry, toys ttna other
similar lines a good many rush orders
for further supplies are coming 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 excelleut 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 :ma throughout
the Province.
Quebec reports to Bradstreet's show
little change in trade conditions during,
the week, width is duo to unsea.sonable.
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 all kinds of holiday supplies. In the.
latter connection the -season promiees tot
show large gains over last year. Locall
faetories continue busy and orders on
hand for spring are reported large. Trade
in building materialeontinuee quite ac -
and values are steady to firm. Col-
lections are generally. satisfactory.
London reports say general retail
trade ]ms shown considerable improve-
ment during the past week.
Ottawa reports say an excellent busi-
ness is now Moving in general and in 4.
holiday lines and country trade is also
reported to have shown considerable im-
provement during the past week.
