The Evening standard. [volume] (Ogden City, Utah) 1910-1913, 1910-11-19

It used 10 be the custom OF our
noyelIsts, when talking about the
raiment of the wealthy classes
among SlaYonlc races. to speak OF
their "barbarfc opulencc" They Wax
ed particularly patronizlng in dcscrlb-
Ing the proiusion of furS worn by
Magyar Voyeyodes and Russian
princes,
But now the lofty attitude on the
part of Occidontals IS impossible. For
the Russian vogue that set In Win
such a strong tide last winter is more
pronounced than ever. And especially
so at this date when the approach oil
winter brings profuslon OF gorgeous
furs such as appears moro appropriate
to the mythical spleudor OF Inc
Arabian Nights,
1t certainly is q merry time for tho
furrieTs. One may hear rumors OF
hard times and Of ssgrleyed business
men, but when one sees the magnl-
flcent fur garments their wives ere
wearing, those rumoTS are rather hard
to believe,
Not only are coats. stoes and NUTS
rich and beautiful beyond all prcce-
dent. but fur is being used for trim
ming on gowns and Indoor costumes
In greater profusion than ever before.
AS in tailor built suits. this is sea-
son of short fur cents for morning and
general street wear. although the

The New PeIto.
All the old-tI7ao favorites are lined
up for repetition OF fashionable sue
oesses, and to these are added new
pelts as well as certain reYiVa's.
Among the newcomers Is the azure
seal-hair seal of a beautiful gray
striped tone, which Is made into en-
tire garments, as well as being used
for the collar and border gaTnlture OF
such furs as seal Persian and other
aristocratic pelts. Sealek!n. by the

Lavish Use Of Fur.
It Is impossible to over estimate the
Importance OF fur There Is hardly q
gown that does not show a deep band
OF 1t on the skirt. and the more deli
cate the material forming the gown,
the more necessary seems to be the
fur trimming There arc fur buttons,
and fur cordelleres, certainly a most
quaint substitute for belt.
The muffs OF last winter wore de-
ecribed as enormously wide" so the
only way to describe this seasons
is TO state that they are much wider
than those OF last year. in fact wider
muff is not conceivable. Some of these
show feathers mixed with fur, and
there are some beautiful creations oil
marabout and ostrich feathers. Most
fur sets, however. come in two pieces
q large shaped stole, and nun, made
up of as many skins with attached
heads and tails as the purse can buy.
