Kangaroo skins Used.
Kangaroo is another fur which comes
from Australia and it's use, however. is
limited. II is popular for coats for men
| and is likewise sometimes used in muffs
and scarfs

been forced to masquerade, is now being
accepted for itself and used not only as
trimming but with other furs for fur
pieces II has, in its dyed state, been
known as black marten" and much used
for trimming
Novelties In furs have been admitted this
season. Leopard coats, for instance. have
Deen made and worn not only in Paris but
| also in Omaha. An Omaha furrier. for in
stance, made a leopard coat for one of the
head-liners Of the Orpheum. These skins
are popular for automobile coats and are
most appropriate for such wear. They. lacl,

Panther skins are also used for coats.
SO much for the skins as the furrier sees
them. Their use as fashion prescribes is
somewhat different.
Fur is an elegant material and vet Il
can be worn in good taste at ali tines
And after all It is nothing more or less
than the hide OF an animal which is

Royal Furs.
SABLE either Hudson bay, fisher or Rus
siam ermine, either spotted or spotless.
! Chlnohilla, real or imitation are among
| the royal turs that no woman should wear
In the morning on the street. II is quite
true women do wear them, some of whom
should know better, but nothing can alter
the TACT that 1t is in bad taste.
Inc furs that can be worn every dav
not only with warmth, but with sartorial
propnety are pony skin, moleslxin. opos-

can wear in the morning, costly as II is
and lynx is another.
Silver and white fox should be kent for
the most elaborate afternoon affairs. They

hours The French women consider II in
good taste 10 wear ermine. without tine
black tails, TO race meetings, to the mai

American woman who attempts to follow
the French woman, except in silhouette

coat OF ermine would be too conspicuous

ionable for afternoon wear at the French
races last month.
There is a happy fashion this winter of
using bands OF fur as trimming for street
suits. 1t is not new, but 1t is done In a
manner that makes II appear original. The
nat FUR is preferred to the kind that has
long hair. True, IL doesn't wear as we'll
because OF It's smooth silky surface. but II
serves the need.
