Furs are no longer mysterious uncer-
tainty, and ladies who have had the courage
to take care OF certain furs that have long
been nearly forgotten will be glad to hear
that the handsome jet-black Astrakhan,
Persian and Krimmer furs are suddenly re-
stored to favor. The soft, shot-tufted, and
iustrous black Astrakhan lanbskin has
for years been the national coat
in Hungary. 1t Is variety between
fur and wool. The Persian lambskins are
known by their tight little curls, made so
by tying the infant lambskin in very
tight wrapper, which has the effect Of COM
pressing the soft, young curls as perfectly
as curl-papers, and it never loses the glossy
wave. The Krmmer is known by its gray
shadings and curly fleece. These furs are
shown in the shape Of capes, collars, and
pelerines, chasuables, sacques, and mulls,
and trimmings for cloth and fur.
