$3.50 to $500. This cost is still fur
Their enhanced by the time they reach
the manufacturers, who have to prepare
them, and make them up into capes, col
lars, cuffs, muffs and cloaks. A muff
with less than three dark stripes is not
considered really elegant, and such cost
from $500 to $25 90 each. The num-
Der of stripes indicates the number of
skins used in making up, as there is only
one stripe in skin, and the darkness
and softness of this part of the fur, add
ed TO the length of the skin, determines
It's value.
just now there is rage for ssmink"
it is the fashionable fur, and no lady
who can possibly afford it considers her
wardrobe complete without a "set'' more
or less elegant. 1t has almost set aside
sable, which used to be grea ly priced,
and is still very costly, and the finest
qualities are now considered nearly equal
in value to the medium grades OF even
Russian sable.
OF course there are many other kinds
of furs worn, and many of a very nice
quality, which can be bought in sets very
cheap, as low as ten dollars, for instance,
looking well and adyy-lke, and doing an
| immense amount of service.
The truth is, furs are very comforta-
ble-ln fact, almost necessity i'll this
rigorous climate, and ladies who once
wear them will never afterwards be wi h.
out them. 1t is very much be err, there
fore, to possess good, conlfor able set,
which are not the mos. costly, than none
| at all.
There are furs, however, not very ex-
penslve, which are always respectable.
he grey squirrel belongs to this class !;
it is even fashionable for elderly ladies,
for MORNINGS, and for girls just in heir
teens. 1t is also very nice for children,
and is preferred by many to he spo ted
erlnlne, which is the children's special
fur.
A set of squirrel fur can be bought
for fifteen dollars, and a very nice set
for twenty-five they can also be pur-
chased as high as fifty and a hundred,
according to the equality of the fur, and
he size of cape, or collar, the latter ar
ticle being very much in vogue just now,
and so much smaller than even the old
fashioned. vicorine as to be compare tive
ly inexpensive.
The rarest fur in the market is the
cross and silver fox, which bring very
high prices. OF the cross fox only
few skins are ever caught, and in their
raw state they bring twenty dollars each.
The demand for fugs this season is
very great, especially for the costlier-
mink and ermiue. Ermine is acquiring
its old place in the world Of fashion, and
is grea ly used for carriage and opera
wear. Mink is Indispensable for street
promenade toilette.
The shape has not changed materially
since last year. Small mutfs arc i'll in
vogue, and collars the latter are some
times made poiuted.
Costly fur cloaks are only within the
reach of few persons, but Of these more
have been made this winter than ever
before.
Sets of cbildren's furs, cloak and tiny
muf, are very pretty, and can be obtain
ed for seven dollars. -.Nadame Dcmor-

DRESS TTRS,

The great demand for dress furs of
every description, and he cons antly in
creasing value set upon them by both la
dies and gentlemen in fashionable socie-
ty, is gradually rendering the fur trade
one of the most important in the United
s ates.
Fortunes can now be easily made by
the successful trapper, from the enor-
nous advance, amounting in some cases
to six or eight times the original cost
of nearly all kinds of skins This is
particularly the case with mink skins,
winch formerly sold for from thirty to
