Furs are charmingly mixed with velvet and lace Lace medallions, mounted on button moulds decorate some of the dressy coats and wraps A touch of pink or yellow in vest relieves the soberness of the otherwise all gray costume. Fashion struck a sensible note when she set her approval upon the soft gmoke gray that is having such a run this season. Fancy black blouses are quite the vogue, the trimming consisting of lace and embroidery or silk folds, Many will buy the shoes with cloth tops that are having a wide vogue this season, for they fit the instep and ankle snugly and give a trim, well set up appearance. One of the richest of fur coats is of sable, long and loose, with deep band around the bottom, wide cuffs and tirned-baeck collar of the fur show. ing the shaded lines running opposite to those in the coat. The wreath of soft pink roses that entirely encircles the crown of an artistic hat is supplemented by a feathery paradise plume which gprings from among the roses at the side, A pink silk lining for a semitrans parent cloth gown of gray is a dainty expedient for furnishing this reliev- ing note.
