Through the kindness of one of the prin-

the Paris correspondent of the Halter and
Furrier. The two garments chosen from
among a score Of others are those which
represent the ideas predominating over all

The first garment is of Persianer and

Astrakhan is not used to any great extent
here, but this may be due to the Idea of the
French furriers, who neglect any cheap
article as soon as the price becomes too
high at the beginning of the season.

purpose the very large skins are used

Hugh ChandOs stood steadying himself with

remembered 10 have read as a student full

down from his shelf Taylor's 1oxicolOgy and
turned over the pages with feverish anxiety.
