'.-. woy , V i ' f -A j ''lgr'TI I A.tabian - , Imitation or Fabric Furs At the Height of Fashion Paris is Using Plushes That Closely Resemble Broadtail :and Mole -Designs That Follow Fur Fashions- Effective Trimmings. TT would seem trom all th lash lon.; lndlcatlont , tht rlh nd costly fur ar having rival In ' imitation or fabric furs, In tuch clever resemblance of the real cktn that It Is often hard to tell the dif ference. While we are sometimes likely to think of the fabric furs as a cheapening of the real article and made only for the "limited Income," that opinion is a mistaken one this season, for our latest fashion reports from Paris show that the plush ma terials that are made in imitation of fur are being used in some of the most fashionable and dressy . gar ments. Of course when Paris takes up a fashion or better, starts a fash- Ion you may be sure that it will be made the most of, ind hera we have a promise of some lovely develop ments in fabrio furs. On the whole these stuffs have really made a place for themselves and now stand on their own merits, and are considered neither by the "market" nor the couturiers merely In the light of an imitation, - so that the well dressed woman now-a-days may have a plush fur coat as a matter of choice rather than a necessity of purse. Mole, Otter, Civet Cat, Etc., Found In Imitation Fura, Now, these imitation furs are to be found in close duplicate of almost every sort of pelt that is belns uti lised in feminine apparel mole, ot ter, beaver, civet cat, Persian lamb, broadtail, seal, caracul, chinchilla and astrakhan.- Following in the wake of this fashion we find a great use of other pile materials, such as velvet ana various plushes in fact we might reverse the matter and say that the -vogue for pile " materials' has helped along in the favor for imitation fur. and moreover the manufacturers have not fallen behind in the race, far they nave in every possible way improved ,the weaving, dying and finishing of fur fabric so that they are now ac cepted a one of the essential mate rials for winter outer garments, - Now aa to what Pari is doing with labrlo furs, we have -the report that tne granae couturiers are making ' special use of the Imitations of the most costly furs, broadtail and mole furs which sf themselves ars favor ite with the French and are devel oping them in very dressy wraps for afternoon and even for evening wear, BUll more, they have found another novel yse for this, favored material, a use -to which ral fur is not, often put, and' have even made suit from It. For example a Paris street gown recently imported, serving all the pur poses jot the suit, . was fashioned on very simple lines in bleuse and skirt. of imitation broadtail in rich seal brown trimmed Kith sleeve and neck frills and deep girdle of satin in the ame shade. Even Separate Skirts In "Fur." The trend - has been followed In America in the making : of many striking suit or frock, lit imitation of some close haired fur and more as tonishing still,- wej have separate skirtarevenT1alh"sanie Tuff."Ih Idea suggested may sound as though the garments would be bunglesome and heavy, but they are not, the weave is most soft and pliable, and a sep arate skirt of imitation broadtail. pony or mole may be a very hand some thing, especially If it is com bined with a sheer blouse of chiffon, lace or net, trimmed with bits of the same material as the skirt' 8uch a combination would really be ultra fashionable. Of course a skirt or a frock developed in fur fabrio la an easier matter to, accomplish than It would be from the Teal skin, since the plush I not at all a difficult mat ter to sew on. As far as the matter of beauty of design is concerned, - the fastidious woman who 1 choosing a coat for the season, will find an imitation baby lamb, for example, such as the strik ing on here given, on exactly the same lines as if she were paying ever so many times the price to get the real skin; the same chic, the same trimming suggestion, the same cut in the plush as in the pelt; and you may ba very sure she will feel exactly as well dressed, without the slightest sense of having accepted a substi tute for what she wanted but could not afford. This Is what fabrio furs have done for themselves. Draperies Also Appear. Draperies in fabrio furs? Tea. br ail means i practically everv rax. ment of the season ha a bit of drap ery somewhere or la It not in the rae with the right sort of "clothe." 8kirts are draped. Jackets, revera, sleeves and collar are all of them draped, and outer coat are seldom without a touch, so why not our much sought after fabrio fursT " Indeed. In the cut of these garment, which Is quite on the fashionable lines that we see in all coats, cloth and furs, we find ths fashionable draperies. adapted to the weight of the material. quite as 11 is in real skins. And the lines that are adapted to the weight of the material are those that happen to be particularly elegant long grace ful lines that fit in well with th heavy texture of the pile. This means that what we find draped in real fur broadtail and mole; and ermine, we nnd draped also in the imitation: while the heavier fur and plushes. like seal and sealette, are cut on ths regulation straight lines, except that they are very often blouned or belted after the fashionable effect In fur this fall. The Short Coat Back With Us. And another word as to coat de sign it is the short length that ha the call of the season, In all sort of outer coats. There is a very good reason back of this shortness ths fact that this la a day of draperlei a alreafly Indicated. The fashionable draperies are nearly all centered In the skirt of the frock, and since this is a fact, it is necessary to give them room, and so it would seem that outer coats are getting shorter and shorter, with the generally accepted length somewhere in the region of lie aneeaTcul-awayntfohUrpmair, v-. l Jlpll llllllf ' IlllllMllS ill : mm ill la -.- ealette 1 a Close . -,,.' V I first because cut-away are de rlgueur in every sort of coat, Jackets, outer wraps, and even In tunics and sashes. Again, the draperies of many klrts are drawn up In the front,- nd so the coat is cut-away to make room. For dressy purposes, -with afternoon frocks, and for general wear this short, cut-away length will serve all uses, but In colder weather and over light evening . gowns, . many women will want a . coat that quite covers them, and to their great satisfaction they will find that there are numerous very smart models to select from In all the fabrio furs, mors especially In sealette, in full or almost full lengths, keeping out the cold when low button strap slippers are donned with evening dress, or coming to the top of the smart buttoned street boot, and showing perhaps Just a bit of the dress skirt, for, be it known, that skirts are getting shorter. Afternoon Wrap of Fabrio Broadtail. A delightfully effective afternoon wrap made of fabrio broadtail, and enriched with a touch of ermine, or rather of white rabbit, which makes a very pretty substitute for ermine, I drawn in closely below the hips,' after the manner of coats ,that are inienaea to give a widtn about the hips, presumably to make room for the wide draperies of th frock, which narrow in below the knees, and some time dwindle to nothing about the feeU The roominess of this garment came in the loose kimono cut of the upper part, sloping Into wide sleeves and a fullness about the middle, leav ing ample space beneath for loops and fluffy bows, frills and cruahable blouse. Th. lining of this wrap is a soft "cjbtarmeuse satin in bright green, primed with tiny apples In red and green, after the Modern Art pat tern and colorings. Th linings of fabrio furs are as rich In texture and coloring, as soft and pliable, as are the linings of their more costly rivals brocaded . stuffs, print ed silks, satins, and even chiffons, yielding delightfully to the more firm lines of the pile fabric. - One of the moat charming of ths fabric furs is that made in imitation of chinchilla, or rather suggestion of th soft gray of this expensive fur, for it often has heavier, mors plush Ilk effect and a luster not found in th real article, but which, never theless, renders it most attractive, most acceptable as a dressy garment Another imitation fur that la very smart I like astrakhan or Persian lamb, a sort that permit of very dressy trimming. Real Fur Trims Coat of Imitation For. ' Fur trim fur this year, and so nothing is more to be expected than that fur real fur should trim the coatraarsritaTroTrrtfrr" '" , .v.

Pretentious collar about th neck or reaching into long wld ravtrs, band like the Japanese collar, running about ths neck and down th front, wide cuffs, ornaments, in any sort of real fur that is used for trimming purpose and they nearly all are and which combines well with th es pecial fur in question. Skunk and fox are good In trimmings, while the lighter toned pelts, like ermine, chin-, chllia and civet, give a very doslrabl contrast with the ombr ton of th coat material. Fabrio Fur Used As Trimming Ma terlnl. A a trimming material fabrio fur Itself la not to be outdone, and is used with very beautiful effect in th col lars, cuffs and ornamentation of cloth coat and suit, Juxt as rich la ap pearance as th real would be. In fact it take the place of fur even In the garniture of dressy frocks a bit of imitation broadtail or of seal plush making & .very desirable add! tion to a silk.. crep rrock or to a chiffon blouse. " Thus th woman who must discuss the weighty matter of purse versus style, will And a friend worth cultivating this season In th fabric fur that cornea by th yard in the shops, and which will give th re quired elegance and chlo to the frock created by th home dressmaker. Imitation Fur For the School Girt Again are th imitation furs greatly to be .welcomed in coat for mlsse wear, for th school girl and for chil dren. With a good warm lining, a coat of pluab will withstand th se verest winter and will , give cntlr satisfaction to th mother and to th younger generation In the matter of style, since It will of a necessity bs cut on th beat lines of th season.

It is really a wiser thing to choose, since it will -most likely bar to be replaced next eaon by a larger gar ment, the growth of the child making real fur out of the question, and so generally frowned upon even by moth ers who can afford It, sine it seems so Impractical. A stylish touch with the imitation fur coat that is to serve for school or for dressy use, will be found in the hat or bonnet that 1 trimmed with material that matches the plush coat, or th collar and cuffs of fabric seal or beaver that give th th coat 4' - X, Jr. AUJthe ECfect oC the costly .Beauty of .CWnchilla To Bles& The ffou&i: Wife WNVKNTION la very busy removing B th Adam curs from housework I at least and filling every nook I and every hook, every shelf and .ni trav of ths kitchen and of th dining-room with labor saving, tlm saving, ana on, uhmwou ing device.
