This is the kind of day that sealskin
coats for women sell like the winning col
ors at a football game" was the senti-
ment made manifest by Sam Leon of New
York, at the Knutsford yesterday. Seal
skin garments are increasing in price
every year because the number of animals
is growing smaller. There was so much
of rumpus over the Boring sea pelagic
sealing several years ago that the animals
held a convention at which the grand
daddy of the herd announced that he had
had revelation from Neptune prohibiting
polygamy, and stating that it was no
longer compatible with the law of moral
ity, as prescribed by the whales, porposies
and founders. The change was necessary
for the sake of their hides. SO they
stopped unlawful cohabitation-ex
those that did not, and the supply of little
seals fell off alarmingiy, and so did the
skins. But the law of compensation is
adjusting things to a nicely. Science tells
matter in the universe is constant and
indestructible; a decrease in one part
means a corresponding increase in some
other. The sealskins are on the decrease,
but the multiplicity of skins fathered by
the high tariff and uncled by the trusts
makes UP for the deficiency"
