Home of the Imitations are not bad. are. In fact, quite effective and pretty enough to use for little touches of trimming; but one must be sure to pay the price of Imitation; and unfor tunately one does not always find hon esty In this regard. The reputable fur riers are reliable In matters of this kind, but Importing milliners, dress makers, etc., are not Invariably so, and only within the last week a wom an who purchased a velvet and er mine set from a certain Fifth avenu** shop noted for chic models and paid the price of real ermlno was told by a furrier to whom she happened to go wearing the set that her ermine was only an Imitation. And the moral of that 1» to recognise your cat or rabbit; but, as has been said, a great deal of tho Imitation fur la at tractive. • _ One of the most pleasing details m tho fur fad this fall Is the clever use of fur In millinery and tho piquant harmonising of hat and muff or of bat, neckpiece and muff. Tho Idea, to be sure. Is now new. There have been fur hats and fur trimmed hats before; but not within the memory of thia generation has tho thing been ao well done or done with euch infinite variety. All Materials Utilised. No material is to flinty or too rich to be combined with fur, and the mil liners, going upon that theory, have produced nets for morning, afternoon and evening, for sports and for smart social functions, for tho woman who does not care what she pays and for the woman who, like Mrs. Boffin of blessed memory. Is "a high flier after fashion" but has little money to spend on dress. Among the girlish sets adapted for winter sport, but qulto as suitable for street wenr Is a handsome white fox set whose muff and neckpiece are con ventional enough but whose hat takes tho piquant form of a little pointed crown cap of black plush trimmed round the face with n band of the white fox. Simple? Of course, but eminently girlish and becoming. There are many of the close cap- llke fur hats for girls and for wom en. some of the prettiest draped a lit tle and trimmed only with a slnglo cluster or blossom of dull gold or silver or color; and there aro still more of the amnll draped toques and hats made of velvet or plush or silk and fur trimmed. And then there are the small hats of two furs In combina tion. It seems useless to attempt description, so varied and so numer ous are the models, but citing a few may give some Idea of the general tendency. Among the close small toques, for example, there was In one well known and exclusive millinery establishment a low, bowl crowned shape of ermine. N the pure white ermine which has al most pushed the white and black er mine out of eight. The closely rolled brim of this hat was of mole and tho trimming was In the form of two osprey feathers crossing each other and posed at the two sides near the back of tho hat. Next to this model was another which was all of ermine, a little higher than the last, though still closer and draped Just a trifle. A »Ingle line of largo brilliants ran around the crown, half hidden In tho fur. and the trimming was a single ostrich feather at the back. A charm ing evening hat, this Mole and Ermine. Mole and ermine are much used to gether by the milliners, but one sees loss black and white fur In the now Thn millinery than one did last year. Hate with draped crowns of rich moire, corded silk, velvet or brocade and with brlma of fur are popular, and many of them are exceedingly likable. Tho Rembrandt tain la easily and suc cessfully developed In thia combina tion, and there are countless other shapes, small and large, that aro aa adaptable. Tho big hat whose crown la entirely of fur while the brim la of chiffon or lace fur trimmed Is considered exceed ingly chic and Is otfen very lovely. Hometlmes the crown of the big bat Is of white and kllver brocade or of brocade In some darker coloring, and the wide brim la of chiffon, Ito flat lay er» edged with narrow lines of fur, and often the whole large shape to of velvet or satin or brocade and the fur la used merely In a scarf or band around the crown or perhaps In a scarf and aa a border to the brim. Whole muffs and draped hats of stunning brocade, with very slight trimming of fur, are among the Im ported eats, and some of them are very good looking, though others are rather conspicuous for anything save evening wear Velvet and plush are used In tho same way. and any one who has even a few scraps of good old fur can easily find use for them In thoan sets. Long Scarfs Much Admired. The very wide long scarfs of fur In which the whole body may be swath ed have their counterparts In similar scarfs of chiffon, lace, silk, etc., fur trimmed, with big hats en suite, and some of these seta are wonderfully lovely, though not every woman can wear such a scarf gracefully.
