CAPE AND MUFF OF RUSSIAN SABLE.
From Gunther & Sons, 46 Maiden Lane, New York. Last month, we selected a set of ermine; this month we give our readers a cape and muff of Russian Sable. The cape is shaped very much the same as the ermine, but it has a collar, and each tab has four tails instead of ending plain. The front is fastened with brown silk, crochet buttons, and loops. The cape is lined throughout with richly quilted brown silk. The muff is dark sable fur, lined to correspond with the cape, and finished at either end by a heavy cord and tassels.
