FRAUDS IN THE FUR TRADE.
Much of the so-Called Canadian Sable
Is Nothing More Than Ameri-
can Marten.

Purchases of furs are often made in
the summer, as most women know
that the prices at this season are great
making purchases are warned against
certain counterfeits that are sold as
the genuine article. Among these are
the so-called sable furs from Canada,
says the Chicago Chronicle.
These furs are not sable of any sort,
but are from the American marten.
Even genuine sables, when light in
color, are subjected to process called
topping" or dyeing, by which they
are darkened skillfully to the proper
hue. Marmot sable, mink sable, mar
ten and musquash sables are all names
for cheaper furs, dyed and doctored to
resemble as closely as they may the
real and only sable-the rare Russian
variety.
Many fox furs are dyed and treated.
AS for smoke and blue fox they are
imperfect white fox skins dyed The
genuine blue fox is one of the rarest
and most expensive of furs and is seen
very seldom
The silver fox, which is the black fox
with white hairs sprinkled through it,
is still more valuable, and it is on rec
ord that last season a single silver fox
skin was sold for 50 400. The imitation
silver fox is produced artfully by in
sorting by means of fine needle the
white hairs from badger. This is
done through the skin itself, and is
most difficult to detect A cheaper and
more common method is to stick the
hairs to the skin with some strong adj
hesive.
Rare skins are used FOR foxaline,
which largely takes the place Of the
expensive arctic fox, and rabbit skins
are used in quantities to make the fur
termed electric seal" The skins are
set for the coarse hairs only, and after
the skin has been stretched and the
pile raised it is sheared and dyed. It
does not wear long.
The skin of the musllrat or NUS
quash makes much more durable and
richer looking fur, and from it imita-
tion Alaska sable coats frequently are
made Rabbit skins also are used after
facture of imitation chinchilla No
wonder there is such a difference in
the chinchilla furs.
The furs least liable to imitation,
and whose prices vary according to
quality, are Thibet, which is the ma
tural white sheep skin; Krimmer,
which is the Crimean lamb, and is
usually gray, although there is also
black; Persian paw. which is from the
legs of Persian lambs; Astrakhan,
the skin of the newly born Astrakhan
lamb, and Virginia fox, which is the
ordinary gray fox.
Caracul fur has no connection what
ever with the caracul, which is an ami
NAL of the cat species. The name orr
ginated in Paris. 1t is a china kid
skin. The skins are imported ready
dressed from Leipsic, and vary in
color from cream and pure white to
various shades of gray.
