A Fashionable Fur.

A new fur which will be much used
for reyers and cuffs Is known as yetta.
Though the name suggests something
entirely new. when literally transiat-
ed IL means the skin OF "A baby calf.
Imagine converting tho skin OF a soft
eyed "bossy" into dress accessories
for tho smart gIrl-nnd yet that Is
just what Is happening. In color!ns.
Of course nothing could be- more Of
