DYED FuRs OUT OF STYLE
Natural skins Have Supplanted Them
In Popular Favor-Leopard for
Automobile Wear.

The dyed furs so prevalent a few
years ago are steadily being pushed
into the background. and natural
skins, even in such rather becoming
and mixed tones as are to be found In
oppossum and natural fox of various
kinds, are taking their place. Nat
ural raccoon is to be favorite among
the reasonably priced skins this win
ter, and leopard is another striking
fur that is in no way toned down by
dyer's artifice.
One set Of leopard recently brought
out has scarf that Is shaped to 1T
the neck in back and has two long
stole ends that touch the hem OF the
gown In front. Leopard is popular for
automobile wear.
A special automobile fur set has
huge muff that may be spread out to
form lap robe or rolled into ordinary
nun size when the wearer leaves her
car. It is made Of white arctic fox OF
rare beauty. The scarf to match has
