And never were furs more richly beautiful and luxurious than the exquisite new models which are being shown for this winter. Each year furriers seem to gain greater ability in fashioning garments of exquisite beauty and in finding intricate and unusual ways of combining the skins to achieve new effects of charm. And certainly this year is no exception. Perhaps one reason for the great popularity of the fur coat is that every woman looks so attractive and feels so coily comfortable when she is close wrapped in her furs and ready to meet the blustering winds of winter.

The new long coats come right to the ankle so that by no chance will your dress show beneath them. And they are much more attractive so, for one this year the long coat preserves the straightest of silhouettes. No belt or girdle of any kind is worn to break the straight slender line from the shoulder to the ankle. The back and front are as straight and flat as they possibly can be made, if there is any fullness at all in these coats it is introduced by means of a flare at each side. They are worn closely wrapped about the hips and yet with a sort of carefree grace. As one woman cleverly said "to wear the new straight coats with any degree of style, you must slip into them and wear them as carelessly as you would a peignoir." The flowing bishop sleeve, the most graceful of all sleeves for a fur coat, is worn almost without exception. But to be really warm and comfortable, there must be a little inner sleeve of silk attached to the lining at the elbow and gathered close about the wrist on an elastic. Every woman will be glad that the chin chin collar is the smartest of all. It is so cosily comfortable to have a collar which buttons right up to the chin. And, of course, it is ever so much more becoming. A very interesting note observed in many of the new coats is the unusual ways in which the skins are used. Some coats are made to look as though they had bias bands by setting the skins in, in the opposite way. For daytime we sports wear, the quite the smartest thing so youthful them; that their fit is not in the lean very smart style to have them cut rather short.

And surely there is nothing more attractive for afternoon and evening wear than a luxuriously beautiful fur cape. However, the silhouette of the cape makes not the slightest attempt to follow that of the long coat. The capes are cut to fit very snugly about the shoulders. Then there is a decided circular flare, some times from the elbow to the bottom of the cape, while at other times the cape is straight to the knees with a circular ruffle at the bottom. In fact bishop sleeve and the chin chin collar is also found on these shorter coats. Quite the newest fur for these coats is gun metal careul trimmed with Viatka squirrel.

Dr. Sheldon, is will be remembered was one of the most influential, energetic missionaries ever sent to foreign fields. His tragic death at the hands of Christian enemies a year ago was one of the sadest occurrences in the history of missionary work. The society is looking forward to there is nothing more attractive for afternoon and evening wear than a luxuriously beautiful fur cape.

Then there is a decided circular flare, some times from the elbow to the bottom of the cape, while at other times the cape is straight to the knees with a circular ruffle at the bottom. In fact it is in these capes with their circular flares and tight shoulders that the tendency toward the styles of eighteen eighty is shown more than in any of the other fur garments of the season. The cape does not have a chin chin collar but it does follow the fashion for the high collar in a rolling collar which comes high in the back of the neck, over the ears and crosses almost at the point of the chin. For the long coat and capes almost any fur is good. But among the most popular are, Kolinsky, Alaska Seal, Hudson Seal, Natural Squirrel, Viatka Squirrel, Kolinsky, Dyed Squirrel, Mink, tan, gun metal, black and grey caracul. For trimming many a smart combination and contrast can be gained by the use of Viatko Squirrel, Kolinsky, Black Fox, Taupe Fox and Grey Fox. Evening Capes For the woman who is able to have a fur evening wrap there are perfectly exquisite creations. You can imagine how lovely soft whiteermine of white coney would be modeled into one of these stunning capes. And the delicate linings of softly gathered georgette over bright silks are the most exquisite you could imagine. For daytime wear as well as for sports wear, the short fur coat is quite the smartest. There is something so youthful and janny about them; that their general popularity is not in the least surprising. One very smart style for these coats is to have them cut very straight and rather short. Worn with a smart skirt or frock they make a perfectly stunning daytime costume. Other models of these short coats are slightly gathered into a tight band about the hips. Sometimes this band is fastened by a stuning buckle at the left side front. The flowing with Viatka squirrel.

While styles underwent radical changes in women's footwear during the last twelve months man apparently is content to have what he has and let well enough alone. Then, too manufacturers haven't been confronted with so many angles which make the changing of women's footwear so necessary. The styles of 1922 no doubt went over big and the makers saw no reason for revising the schedule of models. Oxford Worn More One of the most important changes that will be seen through the fall and winter months will be the increased wearing of oxford. The vogue which originated with Millady is now taking Mr. Man by storm and the result is a large decrease in the sale of high shoes and an equally large increase in the sale of fawn, tan, pearl and biege for dress occasions, while the dark grays browns and blacks will be worn during the day. No Unnatural Lasts The pointed toe and unnatural lasts will not be shown to any degrees. This is largely due to the fact that man prefers comfort—particularly the man approaching the mature stage of life. The younger follows still cling to the English custom lasts, but even these afford sufficient toe room for the desired comfort. The brogue will continue in favor among oxford, but will also find its prominent place among the high shoes. Brown again will be the favored color for fall. Russet and cordovan shades, but there will be many shades between the light and dark browns. Black, dull and gun metal finishes Oxford's Worn More One of the most important changes that will be seen through the fall and winter months will be the increased wearing of oxford. The vogue which originated with Millady is now taking Mr. Man by storm and the result is a large decrease in the sale of high shoes and an equally large increase in the wearing of low shoes. Whether this vogue will continue indefinitely is quite uncertain, but some designers believe the peak will be reached in a few years, then there will be a gradual return to high shoes. Among foot specialties the date of the restoration of high footwear may come sooner than the experts anticipate, due to the fact that some men are careless in the wearing of oxford. For example in extremely cold weather the necessary precautions aren't taken to guard against the severity of the season and as a result sickness develops. While it seems as if nature has provided better protections for the supposedly weaker sex in regards to the wearing of low shoes, man hasn't become acclimated as yet. He must wear spats with his oxford if he wants the maximum winter comfort. This season there will be a showing still cing to the English custom lasts, but even these afford sufficient toe room for the desired comfort. The brogue will continue in favor among oxford, but will also find its prominent place among the high shoes. Brown again will be the favored color for fall. Russet and cordovan shades, but there will be many shades between the light and dark browns. Black, dull and gun metal finishes will be worn by those who do not care much for the colored shoes. Formal Button Shoes Restricted to formal or semi-formal dress will be the once popular button shoes. These will be found largely in patent leather shoes with cloth tops. Patent leather oxford with fine hand turned soles will find favor among the social set. As for styles, the bluchers will come through stronger than ever, owing to their ability to fit the feet well. The composite last which came out several years ago, but failed to go strong, is again finding favor among those seeking comfort. The wide ball room, with the narrow heel and instep, make such shoes fit like gloves.
