i'll new colors of tan, gray, crimson,
dahlia, eilfel brown or old rose, and
lined with fur, the kinds most used be-

skin jackets beautifully fitted to the
figure and combined with astrakhan or
otter which is let down the back in V
shape, trims the cuffs and lines the
collar that may be turned up to ow

now are made in two kinds of fur and
in costumes. the introduction of fur in
new ways, is very noticeable though
novel. In the purchase OF iurs, 1t If
always best to deal with merchants ex'
clusively devoted to that branch OF
trade. Their Judgment as experts,
