It would rcquiro a language roplcto with synonyms for beauty softness
depths of color and high lights of sheen and silken lustre to describe this
season's furs. Mink sable ermine lynx nntl Bcalskln havo never appeared
In combinations 60 successful in nhaics so bowilderlngly varied and attrac-
tive I have been assailing for years tho surprising and stupid vogue of
tho clumsy fur-lined cloth coat showing tho fur merely in tho collars and
cuffs a burdensome weight and suitable only to sovero climates because
of Its warmth. For motoring and slclghiug it has or course a distinct
plnco and value. Hut for other purposes well 1 must confess that 1 look
on a Woman as lacking in intelligence who Is willing to hide the pretty
graceful lines of her flguro beneath tho shapeless muss of cloth and fur and to
utterly overlook and dlsregnrd tho unlimited possibilities of tho fur Itself.
Hegardcz Madame s'H vous plait! Here Is sealskin of n thickness wonderful
to behold hero mink such as you have never Been before tho result of a
now dressing which rendors It light nnd supple as sable here is a new variety
of caracul as benutlful as it Is rare satin-smooth and showing in high lights
tho waves of watered silks. You nro tall short slender plump it makes
no difference; tho fur Is molded Into something that suits you wonderfully
well a marvelous combination of graceful lines faultless fit and perfect
workmanship. And tho trimming? Lo dernier crl on fur coats as well as
cloth jackets Is black silk braid and 1 liavo no hesitation in saying that I
was among tho first to predict and advocate tho Louis XV. vests of brocaded
Bilks that nro now sanctioned by Parisian mandates. The collarless necks
that permit ono to wear a separate scarf to match tho muft arc finished
with braid or embroidery.
Again some of tho coats are Ingenious ndaptatlono of tho long kimono
shoulder lino and wide armhole. They aro in reality nothing but capes
cut quite short on the sides whero they are caught together to form tho
sleeves and longer in front and back whero they aro belted in with crush
girdles of ribbon or embroidery. In tho latter case tho embroidery appears
again at tho collar and Is combined with soft laco to form under-ruilles in
tho wldo sleeves. Needless to say that this kind- of a Jacket ono only wears
with elaborato gowns of exquisite fabrics.
This season finds mo n convert to tho pony-skin coat a garment that
I have heretofore regarded with disfavor. Till now It has always been
associated In my mind with tho calico pony and dappled gray of tho harness
and carriage Bhop window. Hut in its manifestations this fall tho hardness
and stiffness of tho past lias disappeared nnd it has becomo supple pliant
lustrous to such a degrco thnt in tho growing scarcity of caracul it lends
Itself par excellence to tho close-fitting jacket.
I am glad to ho ono of tho first to herald tho return to popularity of
sealskin. It Is ono of tho most beautiful furs wo have and I havo rather
resented tho fnct that for the past few years other furs have held It some-
what In -abeyance. This jesir sable Itself will yield the palm to sealskin
for coat use. It Is combined with rare pelts of tho silver-gray fox and
tho muffs designed lo go with theso wraps are really marvels of grace and
beauty. An entire pelt is used In ono muff and looks as If It had been
wound softly around tho hands tho head up tho tall hanging down.
lleforo I leave the subject I want to say nnothor word about scarf
and muffs although the opening of tho doors of the New York Horso show
will tell you more at a singlo glnnco than can bo put on paper. There ono
gets an intoxicating glimpse of furs in their full beauty. Thero Is nothing
that Increases tho Indolent regal charm of a beautiful woman or lends
distinction to n plain ono to such nn oxtent ns furs. Load a woman with
Jewels and she will nppear at best like a Jeweler's show window beneath an
nrc light. Wrap her In furs and they will Invest the most Insignificant woman
with something of tho dignity of a queen.
You will notico at once that furs in every shapo and form aro softei
more tillable than ever this year. Even a year ago in selecting my own furs
I took pains to sccuro unmounted heads in their natural stato with the
pelts. They were rare then but now they aro seen on all shies. Tho muffs
aro smaller in tho body this year but tho dlffcrcnco Is imperceptible because
of the extensive trimming of tails and heads.
Lap robes and evening wraps open fleldH of unlimited extravagance.
Many of tho ultra-smart mnko It a point to have their own furs and their
carrlago rugs match. They even carry out their mourning in caracul and
astrakhan lap robes coats etc. Personally 1 rogard anything of this kind
carried too far as an ostentatious parade of wealth that Is not qulto In accord
with good taste. However 1 cannot quite blame tho mother who yields to
tho temptation to tuck her baby Into Its pcrnmbulator with tho exquisite
ermine robes that are qulto new this season. Ermine and mink as well
aro going to be the two most popular fur linings for tho wonderfully gorgeous
evening wraps that add so much to tho beauty and brilliancy of tho opera-
houso audience.
I havo assumed that tho average woman has. an Interest in tho beautiful
in furs as in art and music even though they may bo beyond her reach;
that her appreciation of tho rare and lovely Is not limited to her own pos-
sessions but is wise enough lo inrludo whatever comes within her range of
vision.
I havo lingered so long and lovingly over tho furs that I havo little
space loft to touch on the fashions of tho hour. Fortunately for tho woman
desiring Information coats wraps blouses and evening gowns are dot only
admirably shown in tr. Kleluschmldt's drawings but aro so clearly brought
out that theio Is really nothing left to bo said. As you enn see from the
drawings tho skirts uro long grncoful sweeping. Tho tunic skirt thnt makes
its regular annual appearance Is with us once more with a vague promise of
Its really acquiring a vogue in its adaptability to tho now muterials. Their
beauty has In it nn olement of tho fantastic that makes them seem of ellln
falry-llku construction. Tho stumped velvets tho velvets embroidered in dull
silver and gold tho tuftod chenilles tho rajah silks woven with stripes of
velvet nro but a few of tho newest evolutions of the looms. Frankly there
fs something terrifying to mo in tho almost pagan sumptuousness that this
magnificence in every department of dress represents. Trimming Is more
lavishly used than over and trimmings on trimming aro the order of the dny

aro very light but aro slightly varied
so that the effect of the light colors
on the dark belts is not too startling.
White flowers are slightly flushed
with pink on tho dark red and blue
belts or pink red and white flowers
are mingled. On the dark blue belts
blue and dull red flowers are a beau-
tiful combination. Pink and white
also look well on the blue belts. On

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Madame Merri Replies to Inquiries
of Many Kinds.
Pertaining to Table Etiquette.
Is it ever correct for tho host to
serve hostess first in a meat course
or tho maid to serve the mistress first
In the salad or dessert course? It
looks Inhospitable to me yet i fre-
quently see It done. M. A. L.
The guest of honor If there Is one
or the most elderly lady present Is
served flrst.not the hostess.
Books on Entertainments.
Dear Mme. Merrle Can you tell
mo If there is published any book or
source of entertainments suitable for
uso by large gatherings such as a so-
cial club? If there be such a book
whero could It be obtained or where
could anything In tho wajr of enter-
tainment Ideas be obtained' especially
novelties for the stag parties.
SOCIAL COMMITTEE.
Thero Is a book that I think would
bo admirably suited to your needs.
Send self-addressed envelope for ad-
dress of publisher and tho title.
Formal Dinner Party Invitation.
Pleaso inform mo ns to wording of
Invitations to a formal dinner to bo
given for a brido and groom elect by
an Intimate gul irlend and her hus-
band. Any suggestions as to menu
and decoration would be appreciated.'
Kindly tell me what Is appropriate for
a lady to wear lo a noon homo wed-
ding also a 7:30 evening wedding.

ner: Mr. and Mrs. John James llrown
request the honor of Miss Black's
company at a dinner to bo given for
Miss Stone and Mr. White on Wednes-
day at 7 in the evening. October 2S.
The menu of course depends upon
your purse and your markets. It
should consist of a canape soups fish
meat vegetables Ice salad dessert
coffee roses candles place cards and
fnvors.
At a noon wedding a handsomo re-
ception gbwn with hat not romovod;
for the ovoning an elaborato party
gown; decollete Is the thing.
A Party for Boys and Girls.
Can you give me any suggestions for
a party of about 1G boys and girl? be-
tween 14 and 1C years of ago'k I do
not want to ask them to come In cos-
tume and I can not afford very elab
belts while for tho brown backgrounds
nlmost any mingling of shades looks
well. Dull ted and whife roses how-
ever look particular handsome on
the dark brown belts.
With these belts are worn gold or
enameled buckles. The gold buckles
are more harmonious unless the belt
has been made in design nnd color to
tit some ono enamel buckle. A favor-
ite design for the now gold buckles
shows a basket of flowers in tho cen-
ter surrounded by a heavy tiellis oval.
Attractive new bolts that aro much
simpler than these are being made of
fairly wide silk braid. Anyono can
make such a belt with very little diffi-
culty and they are inexpensive so that
one may have a sufficient number to
suit any costume. These belts are
wide In the back and narrowed toward
tho front. Several strips of braid aro
taken and sewed together at their full
width at the back. Toward the front
the top strips of braid arc sloped
downward so as to shape the belt.
These belts are lined with rather
heavy silk or satin. The braid may be
stitched on the machine but it Is bet-
ter to sew it in an over and over scam.
Theso belts are worn with plain
onnmeled buckles In the same color as
the belt. Pale pink pale blue white
in fact all the light dainty shades aro
suitable for these bolts. Besides hav-
ing tho clasp In front they have nar-
row clasps at the sides and in tho
back.
Ribbon belts seem handsomer than
over and indeed some of them aro so
attractive that there scorns little need
of embroidery. Heavy brocaded rib-
bons are now used in the ribbon holts
as well as the lighter weight ribbons.
For a very handsomo set of buckles
nothing Is more beautiful than one of
these handsome ribbon belts. Care
should be taken however that the do-
sign of the ribbon is ia harmony with
that of tho buckle. Very handsome
cameo buckles framed in enameled
;lbbon loops are used with belts hav-
ing an obscure pompadour design
striped with black velvet. Tho black
stripe seems to give tone to an other-
wise nlmost too dell ate effect. Those
who havo light pompadour ribbons of
which they Intend making belts will
sometimes find that a little black em-
broidery French knot or something
similar or tho tjse of black velvet rib-
bon to stripe or edge the belt will add
materially to tho good effect.

orate refreshments or favors still I
should like to give an original party.
Hoping you will be able to help me.
MAPLEWOOD.
At this season of the year why not
give a nutting party? .It would bo
jolly then all return for a good hot
supper consisting of oyster soup
salad coffee rolls apples doughnuts
and pie. Or have a last tennis party.
This whole month should bo devoted
to outdoor sports. Even a belated pic-
nic would not be out of place.
For a Farewell Party.
Kindly offer suggestions for a faie-
well party to bo given In honor of a
young lady who is about to leave town.
I am at a loss to know how to en-
tertain aB I expect to have at least
nino couples.
. Also what should bo served also In-
dividuals favors. ANXIOUS.
Seems to mo every reader must
havo seen tho'suggestlons for a "fare-
well" party so won't you please send
a stamped self-addressed envelope foi
Information?
Calling on the Bride.
I will bo very grateful to you If you
will kindly answer tho following ques-
tionB: Will it be correct for me to
call on a young' brido just moved to
tho city. I received no announcement
cards but tho young husband's
mother gavo a largo reception for tho
brido a few days before her first day
at home. I received cards for It and
attended leaving two of my own
cards. Now I'd like to call It It la the
thing. MATRON.
Tho fact that tho mothor-in-law of
tho bride Invited you to tho recoption
which was tho young woman's Intro-
duction to society in your homo city
ccrtninly places you upon her calling
list and- you not only may but should
call upon her. In most cities tho brido
returns tho visits of all who leave
cards for her at her first reception.
Names for a Greek Letter Sorority.
Would you pleaso tell us somo Greek
names for a small sorority and also
meanings? " x. Y. Z.
Thoro Is scarcely a combination that
Is not already 'in uso by some sorority
or fraternity but I suggest Theta Psl.
You surely do not wish tlio meaning
to bo nuhlished for then It would be
no longer secret. Perhaps you had
better send In n stamped self-addressed
