First of the new tie signs now in the working stage in Wall-G-lo fox is an original shoulder piece cleverly arranged with French soft heads. one at each shoulder, two at front cloa- ing. At the same time Nor-Chills tax is initially being shown in a very new,looklng model leaturing tlhe shoulder-baring ilsmillng neck- no”. Fashioned all in one, it llipa over the head circling shoulders in broad, squared outline. soft chlflon bow is used as contrasting ornament at center front. It is a direct continuation of the lining left loose at top so that it can be worn draped over the shoulders if desired. Characteristic of this piece. as well as every other fox fashion here. is the detailed let- out working of skins done in the same manner as with mink. In this particular case it gives the illusion of a wide, oneskin shoul- der piece to what is i.n reality a doubletiered one.
