of the hair and makes the complexion
look dull and faded, that also would be
a case of unfortunate selection.
The furs most fashionable for the
long coats, which are used exclusively
this winter as none of the really stylish
garments are made in the short models,
are, first Russian pony, then sealskin
and caracul The fiat, short haired skins
and caracul, and some of the choicest
specimens have almost the sheen and
softness of moire velvet. Baby lamb
coats are also highly fashionable, but
as they are much more expensive than in
former years none but the very wealthy
can afford to wear them.
Sable squirrel is used for coats in the
longer lengths, and cloth coats are lined
with the light and dark portions of the
Siberian squirrel, which makes them
both attractive and warm and especial
ly suitable for automobiling. For the
the little animals are needed. according
to the length and size OF the garment.
The fur garments closely follow the
lines of the cloth ones. and so pliable
are most of the skins, owing to the
present methods of treatment. that they
can be shaped and fitted and even In
some cases gathered in folds like cloth
or velvet.
Pony skin has only held its place
among the garment furs for about three
years. The increasing scarcity of Per-
sian lamb and caracul made 1t neces-
sary to find some other fur which could
be used in their place, and as con-
sequence great droves and herds of po-
nies are now raised on the plains of
Russia to supply the demand. The po-
nies are tiny animals. somewhat like
Shetlands. not much larger than good
sized Newfoundland dog. and about 10

up their f-.rrs IN order to make one long
coat. There will be perhaps one pony
in several hundred that has smooth
brown skin, and these are selected and
used undyed, In the natural color, but
most of the pelts are variously marked
and spotted and they are dyed lus-
trous black.
The fitting of fur garments has be-
come an art In these days Only a few
years ago the fur coats were inclined
to be ungainly and bulky in build. but
today the lines Of the fur. garments are
as perfect and as clean cut as are
those of the tailored cloth coats. One
reason is that in the case of the ex-
pensive furs at least the skins are
very carefully selected and only the
softest used. Sometimes hundreds and
even thousands Of furs are examined
and rejected before sufficient number
of suitable skins can be found for a
single coat; but this care would seem
to be justified by the result. for any
thing more beautiful in its way can not
be imagined than one of these soft,
iustrous, perfectly shaped and tailored
garments of velvety fur. There is not
much similarity between these and the
roughly cured skins laced together
with leather thongs which our abb

uninitiated public does not realize the
number Of processes to which their
furs are subjected from the time they
leave the animal until they are ready
to be worn, and they would hardly
credit the ingenuity and skill that are
used In preparing them.
After all the various processes of
curing and dyeing and treating the
furs have been completed the different
parts of the garments are cut out. and
then in many cases the smooth. flaw
less skins are slit with sharp knives
almost into ribbons and sewed UP again
on the fur sewing machines; this is
done in order to gain the proper curves
and to make the fur lie in the right
direction. The shaped pieces, such as
collars or stoles, must be made to lie

The styles IN furs are on the whole
quite plain this season, and are IN
clined to be strictly practical Al
though In former years the Partisan
garments have sometimes shown
combination OF lace with the fur, which
was rather an incongruous but occa-
sionally beautiful mixture OF materials,
very little OF this Is seen at present;
sometimes one fur Is used to trim an
other. as. for instance. where chin
chilla is used for the collar and cuffs
on a sable or seal coat. or where skunk
serves the same purpose on caracul
or pony skin. but on the whole the
furs are used each by itself. only deco
rated with the tails or heads OF the
animals when they are small enough
to be used In that way. Some OF the
coats are fastened with large metal
buttons set with jet or Jewels, and for
c'hsrs braided or crocheted silk but
tons are used.
The lining this year are rather more
elaborate than usual: the conventional
plain satins are used. and also the usual
brocades and Dresden silks. but many

Even Orvil Grant the Presidents
