(UPI Telephoto) Lavish Fur Decreed For Fall and Winter Coats By PATRICIA McCORMACK United Press International New York - IUPD - Designers figure to wrap us in coats with stand away collars, demi fitted fronts and full backs for fall and winter. There are lavish touches of fur on many coats being shown during the 35th Nation al Press Week of the New York Couture group, which opened today. The fur ranges from man made pelts to ranch and wild mink. It is used to circle the neck, to cuff sleeves and as lining. Even the buttons on some coats are, furry. . At the extreme, the stand away collars circle the shoul ders, loosely framing the head and creating the illusion of a swan's neck. The armholes plunge, some times cut so deeply that it reaches the waist. Overall the lines are easy, deml fitted through the front with an al most cape-like back. Sleeves on the coats hit just below the elbow in a few of the collations. In most, however, they are regular wrist length. In a few, they are the th length. Storm coats come In bright ly colored poplin, duck, can vas and twill. For night-time theatre and balls, the coat fabrics range from luxurious metal brocades to warp print ed satin. Most of the other fabrics are down-like, furry-to-touch, velvety. For example, mohair, alpaca, angora. The tweeds and plaids are oatmeal - like, color-blended, wide diagonals or widely spaced plaids with big blocks. The zoo-like in the 1960 fashion 'picture is most pro nounced in coats. Many li nings are deep pile orlon, looking like zebra, tiger or pony pelts. Fur-trimming ranges; from Norwegian blue box on wool amethyst to blue beaver on blue wool. Brown Persian is seen on brown, wool, stone marten on taupe and ranch mink on deepened red. There's plenty of color se lection among fall coats. There are dark, rich, fur- blended browns, black olives, taupes, oxford grey, deep egg plant, plum in many shades, stone and smoky blue and teal, wines of every shade, bronze green, spruce - green, winter white, gold.

CROSIER APPLIANCE 6th & Frant flowers br night this fall as the "knight stole" sweeping stopper: the Empress of China evening gown, sleek fitting and made of rich silk damask woven with green and gold medallions on black. Another design showed af ter dark dresses cut with "wicked - wicked" scissors. Some of the "wicked scissors" dresses - mostly black - dip the neckline In a way that shows a sliver of bareness down to the mid-point be tween neck and waist. Back bareness Is achieved via the peek-a-boo route-tiny straps crissing and crossing and drawing geometric pat terns across the flesh in a teasing way. Donald Brooks for Town ley came out with a double coat, the doublet dress, the spiral skirt. The double coat is a bulky wool coat with a second. Inner pront - two panels. You button one and let the other flap in the breeze, Milady keeps warm and has the open-coat look. The doublet dress is a one piocer looking like a two piecer. In wool, from a dis tance, it looks like a bulky jumper with a bulky long sleeved jersey - same color as the Jumper - under n e a t h. Neckline is high. The spiral skirt is wound about the body and made of one piece of material cut on the bias. It looks like a three layered skirt, the layers slant ing. Olcg Cassini creates the sweater look for daytime by pulling v-necked heavy bulky knitted sweaters over wool dresses, some with narrow skirts, some knife pleated. Some of the sweaters are cardigan style. A few have round collars. For late day, Cassini show ed a lot of colored brocade jackets over black sleeveless sheath crepes. Marquise showed many leather doublets and jerkins, used fur lavishly and select ed richly toned fabrics for coats and suits.

Agate has been col lected and cut In this area for over 2,000 years. Not all the agate Is of local origin, the speaker noted, add ing that very little of the local material remains.

Most of this agate is dyed before be ing cut, and the process by which this Is done Is a closely guarded secret, it was said.
