The metallic laces, usually in the ex- tremely heavy kinds, and the dull or tarnished tones are highly favored evening coat trimmings. Fur is used in every conccivable way as trimming for the evening coat, BEAUTIFUL SETS OF FUR This Year Designers Have Surpassed the Productions of Any Previous Year, Last season the designers produced many beautiful sets of fur combined with lace, silk or chiffon. This year they have surpassed last year's pro- duction, giving us fascinating sets of muff, hat, collar and bag. These are more elaborate and fussy, in some ceses, than beautiful, but others are piquant and charming in a quaint way. Moleskin figures prominently in the field. It is not one of the costly furs, and is therefore within the reach of the moderate purse. Being supple, it is easily handled, and when combined with dull blue, violet, gold or silver it is charming. A soft scarf and muff of moleskin and taupe embroidered chiffon had clusters of dull blue and rose satin roses to supply the touch of bright color. A picturesque little bon- net and reticule could be had to match | these. Chinchilla and the less expensive opossum are effective in combination with the modish purples of this sea son. One set was of purple velvetr, showing a tint of gray. tands of opossum fur and tassels of dull silver hanging from the points of the collar and from the ends of the fur low on the muff completed the color scheme. Ermine sets are more in demand this season than ever. Coats of this elaborate fur appear in greater num- ber. Collarettes, toques or the hand | some scarf and muff are exceedingly popular. Designers have comhined ermine with black velvet, making lovely fur sets which harmonize with any color.

One Yuletide Custom That 8till Flour- ishes In the Fatherland. MERICAN and English newspa- pers at Christmas time often have picturesque accounts of the Germap Christmas, which coujure up a clear, frosty atmosphere and re-echo the song of the skates on the frozen lakes, for the Aunglo-Saxon notion of the German Christmas [s drawn from those childhood hours spent over Hans Andersen and Grimm, and the sight of a Christmas tree brings to wind the woodcutter tramping bome tbrough the snow laden forests, trailing behind him the fir tree for his family Christmas celobration, while ip the towns the black quadrangle of the ven- lights blazing on the trees in the win- dows of the gabled houses. Fifty years ago, before the young German giant had awakened from the sleep of centuries, says a writer in the New York Evening Post, this idea of the peaceful German Christmas was correct, but if one of the burghers of old Berlin, returning from making his ?
