Of courne, «uch a frock Is not meant for the woman who has to watch her ward robe expenditures ; it is rather for the fortunate woman who can afford one or two extra gowns. A feather-trimmed frock quite plain ly demands perfection in detail, acces sories and grooming, or else the effect would, most likely be more sad than scintillating. Shoe Style« for Sports, Town Wear Unchanged Shoe styles for 1932 have been an nounced by the French trade, accord ing to a report received In the Com merco department from Assistant Trade Commissioner Earle C. Taylor at Paris. Shoe styles for sports and town । wear will remain unchanged during । the winter. New models are all \ ery I sober; pumps In kid, suede or reptile are favored for the afternoon, In dark shades of brown or black.

They will be made of silk materials, in most cases matched with the dress worn. Ccat Costume Affords Wide Choice of Color F ir'S S A SLEEVE is knowu by its cult the«« days. This gesture of fash ion in the direction of enormous as well as very fanciful cuffs is confined neither to coat or frock, but every type of garment be it wrap, gown or blouse, if It has long sleeves, gives conspicu ous expression to highly ornate arid out of the usual cuff silhouettes. Tske it In the matter of the smart est daytime frocks made either of the swanky sheer woolens or of vogulsh silk crepes or of velvet, It Is their whimsical elbow-length lace and lin gerie cuffs which are their pride and their glory. These may or may not be an actual part of the dress, for while many of their sleeves adopt to-the-el- bow cuffs made of seif or contrast ma terials, ft Is just as likely that the cuffs are detachable, for the neckwear departments are a revelation In the way of "sets” which Include cuffs with a daring flare which extends halfway up the arm, together with novel and elaborate neckpieces. However, when It comes to calling attention to out-of-the-ordlnary cuffs It Is the now-so-modlsh fur-trimmed cloth suit and the furred long coat, Hke- wi*a the all-fur wrap which are car rying away the honors. Judging from the latest models there Is ho limit as to how far a cuff shall be permitted toT wander toward the top of the sleeves. In some instances not even the elbow is recognized as a stopping place. Fre quently the effect is more that of a half-sleeve either contrasting two kinds of material or two kinds of* fur or forming the upper portion of the sleeve of cloth with fur meeting It nt or above the elbow. Which goes to show very erratic sleeves can be Uili season. Ln designing the swagger deep cuffed sleeve the very fashionable flat furs such ns astrakhan, Persian lamb, galyak, seal and gray kidskin which is the rage at the present moment, nor should dyed lapin or ermine be omit ted from the list, are manipulated like fabric with all sorts of Intriguing dressmaker touches. We must not neglect to mention In this connection the very smart spotted furs such as leopard and ocelot, for they are Im- mensely popular. It is Interesting also to note how deftly sable, mink and other similar types are sewed row and row to form bell or huge puff effects which reach often to beyond the elbow. The Jacket suit mid the long fur coal In the picture tell the story of that which is new in cuffs In a thoroughly up-to-date manner. The suit is really a three-piece In that the jacket tops a dress rather than merely a skirt. It is, of course, styled of one of the fas cinating novelty woolens such as Is causing the world of fashion to atop and admire. The fur which trims it Is seal. Furriers are very enthusiastic In regard to"sealskin this season. The black astrakhan coat shown to the right Is a Lanvin model. It fea tures straight conservative lines and elbow cuff«. The tie of blHck velvet Is an interesting Item In their most recent collections Paris couturiers are stressing not only velvet scarfs, but on their frocks of every material they are positioning at strategic points great soft-tied velvet bows either in con trasting or self color What a wide choice of color effect Is ours In planning a coat costume this winter. To begin with, the coat doe» not have to match its dresses, So If you buy a black coat. you are not eternally committed to black. In fact, green, red and Nue dresses will be far smarter. Or a bright coat—green or red, Is extremely chic worn with dark dresses A green coat' with brown fur over brown dresses is a good combination, or red over black. - If youf coat Is to be brown, you have your choice of the rust and tile xhadea, green, or various red, brown and yellow shades, for your dresses.
