Prepara.ion Of Costly Furs.

When a workman In a fur manufac-
tory is cutting up skins. he is literally
cutting money; indeed 1t would be less
costly to cut a garment from ten-dollar
bills than to cut it from some skins.
The cutting is quite an interesting feat
ure of the work. To prepare mink
or sable, for example. the skin must
he slashed into strings. narrow pieces
more or less irregular in shape, which
are afterward sewed together. There
may be thousand pieces in a single
cloak. the new and beautiful skins be-
ing literally cut to pieces before they
are manufactured. The object of this
Is to lengthen the skins. The sable,
for example. say two feet in length. will
be drawn out to four feet and all its
markings preserved. so that it looks
like very long. but well-propOrtioned,
skin. The original skin is so cut to
pieces that it may all be matched
again in the elongated shape.
