with long natural furS like Russian

silver fox or the sea otter. The latter is

natural state, with the long, stiff
hairs remaining. many of which are
white and give the fur that
peculiar rich effect which was ini-
tated few years ago by sew
ing white hairs in beaver and
other close-napped furs. Some women
prefer light fur, like silver fox, which

the sealSkin on the long, luxurious
coats which their tailors fit almost as
close as cloth. A heavy band of this
fur entirely surrounds seal NeWmark-

the front in boa fashion and meeting a
wider band around the foot of the gar

the severely plain ulSterS, which are
fitted to the Fl IRE with precision, and
are fastened down the front with the
hooks concealed under the fly. The
