there is no animal living whose skin
is not required for the comfort or
adornment Of lovely woman. "You
lucky little kid, you persisted. so you
did, for my sweet" sang the poet long
ago. as though the kid should be
happy to Gle for her. The caracal
coats are really elegant, being cut in
long, flowing lines, and they are not
too oppressively warm.
But, after all, fur Is not healthy
when the garment is long and close.
for it makes the wearer too warm
and thus liable to take cold. Better
have the dress made warm, particu-
larry about the waist, and then have
a neck piece Of some kind, and a muf
for the hands Is sufficient.

for oftcn long wrap or cloak will
be completely lined with some fur,

FURs ARE IN SEASON..
Skins of Nearly All Animals For Wo-
mans Comfort.

Skins of Nearly All Animals For Wo-
mans Comfort.
1t is now that furs are really needed.
II ever, and they are made in sumptu-
Gus manner Muffs are more like
doubled pillows than before for at
least hundred years. The best of the
new styles in muffs have little hid
den place for the hands, while the fur
Is laid fat over the hands. even ex-
tending out quite to the elbow. These
fat sides hang down sometimes to
a length almost ridiculous and are
fringed with numbers of poor little
paws, while a head or two add to the
protest against women's ideas of need.
The capes are warm and when made
Of the thicker furs, such as fox. skunk
and bear, they certainly do look cozy
and comfortable. The pointed fox
which has been dyed to uniform
brown is a handsome fur. The silvery
long hairs add much to its beauty.
Seal is now so very expensive that
few are able to have n garment Of the
rich and sumptuous fur. while sables
are very scarce and correspondingly
dear. Ermine is too light and chin
chilla too frail for good value, while
otter and fine mink are almost out Of
existence, so fox, coon and skunk are
what the most Of the neck pieces are
made of; bear also. but the great
difficulty with bear is that it will mat
down so. In little while bear fur
will show hundreds of little hard
punches where the soft inner fur Il
matted. Skunk is really one Of the
handsomest and best furs for harI
usage. One dealer told me that skunk
Is related closely to the sables and
that he considered a piece made W
Of fine young skunkskins quite as good
In every way as sable. But women will
not believe that, so long as sable costs
all the way from two to three hundred
dollars for one skin and as much
more as the dealer can get. And sable
skins are not much bigger than rats.
Skunk fur has an iridiScent luSter all
its own. In the sunlight it shows all
the colors of the rainbow on each hair.
But so long as it costs so little in com
parison the heart Of a woman will
yearn for sable.
AS though seal and baby lamb
were not dear enough and luxurious
enough, thev are now made up with
embroidery and lace, and this work
is done in a manner to add greatly
to the expense. But those who can
afford such furs now find plain seal
and other close furs not rich enough
in themselves. We shall see them
jeweled next. |
Pony coats and caracal coats Of va
rious lengths are very commonly worn
at the present, a fashion brought
