Women who are passing through this

of the fact that for thirty years Lydia

tutes in the fur line than during the coming
seasons.
The worlds prosperity and its rapid in
crease in population are, of course, the chief
causes Of the extinction of fur. AS recently
as ten years ago the people of the United
States were not counted among the great
buyers of fur. Now the majority of women
among ninety million people are purchasers
of fur of one kind or another. Five years
ago London was the worlds greatest fur GEN.
ter, with Paris q close second. Today, so
enormous has the demand for fur become in
this country as well as across the sea, that
there are over 5000 establishments for the
treatment of fine furs and the making of fur
garments In New York City alone.
London and Paris have now taken second
and third places in the actual making of fur
garments, though London handles more raw
fur than the other two combined. Last year
the value of New York's finished" output was
nearly $2O,OO0,O00, and fully sixty per cent.
of this was represented by the furs which
few years ago were considered almost worth
less.
Three years will clean out the cheaper
class Of fur" said Montreal buyer to me,
"and then the real famine will be at hand"
This passing of the old romance of fur is
marked not only by the pathos of the, furred
things themselves, but by that of the wild
and picturesque life of those thousands of
ton must go with the things which gave it
birth. There is some comfort for the lover
of the wild and what 1t holds in the thought
that at least in a great part of the far Cana
dian wilderness the picturesque furhunter
will never, like the courier du bois, quite die
out. In a country onethird large as the
whole of Europe railroads and civilization will
never go. This vast wilderness region, long
described as waste" stretches from the
coast of Labrador, through Ungava skirts
Hudson's Bay and swings north and west to
Mackenzie Land and the polar seas.

ton of the fur situation 1t exists today,
and after long acquaintance with the great
fur companies, buyers, and trappers. But a
few facts are necessary to show at what ruth
less pace the slaughter of fur animals has
gone on during the past decade 1t was not
long ago that 100000 skins of the sea otter
were taken from the Aleutian Islands each
year. Today there are less than 400 skins Ia
ken annually. Ten years ago sea otter was
a popular fur; today it is worn only by the
royal blood Of Europe Twenty years ago 1t
was estimated that seal herds of the Pry
biloffs numbered over five millions. Today,
in spite Of international treaties for their
protection, there are not more than 100000
seals on the island! About 10000 skins
were taken last year. and SO relentless was
the slaughter on account of the princely sums
offered for the fur that 10000 baby seals died
during the season, chiefly Of starvation be-
cause of the death Of their mothers.
The glossy little wood marten is dying out.
Four years ago / met two Canadian trappery
who were coming down from the upper New
Ontario game regions with 800 marten, worth
then from four to five dollars skin. To-Day
they are worth twenty-five dollars, and a half
a dosen are big "catch" for any one map in
a single season. Five years ago 1,760,000
foxes were killed to supply the worlds mar
ket. Three years ago the number had fallen
to 100000. Last year less than million
were caught. From two dollars skin the
red fox jumped to twelve; the cross fox
from twenty-five to as high as hundred, sill

black sable and the little white ermine whose
pelt has been worn in the robes of royalty
for more than seven centuries. 1t was not
