mun which goes with this is larger
than those Of last year. but il is not Of
the usual cylindrical form. but a lovely
creation in which sable tails and Ouch

are only for those Of unlimited means.
Ermine has never been so popular.
This is perhaps accounted for by the
unprecedented rage this season for
