Leopard for Smart Motor Coats.
The really. smart fur motor coat
this winter will be of tawny leopard
skin. with the dark brown stripe
which runs down the leopard's back
bone. coming at the centre back of
the coat. Genuine leopard is very
costly, and the pelt is anything
but inconspicuous in appearance; but
this is a season of conspicuous eff
fects: and no style seems too extreme
to meet favor. Leopard coats are
varied effect of the brown and white
pattern on the pelt demands rather
simple lines in treatment. A beauti-
fully dressed young woman at Trou-
Vile last week wore, over a little
frocl of brown lansdowne and cream
lace. a kneelength leopard coat.
Matching the coat was a toque of
bronze velvet with. a. long plume of
magenta red curling over the hair.
Boots of patent leather with buttoned
tops of brown suede completed the
harmony of color.
Fetching Wrap Styles of Fur.
The full-length fur coat seems to be
doomed and in it's place reigns the
graceful and coquettish hip wrap,
hugging the limbs closely and fasten-
ing far across to one side. at the
front. These graceful little wraps are
promised an enormous vogue, and
very pretty they will look, one be-
lieves, over draped frocks lifted a bit
at the foot. Some of the little wraps
already exhibited by the furriers are
of Hudson seal; some are Of mole
skin. Others are of broadtail or car
acul with gay little neckties OF or
mine. A very handsome wrap of
black brocaded plush, worn at the
French races, had narrow border of
skunk around the lower edge, the
coat wrapping across the figure, one
front being lifted and caught against
the opposite hip under a cord orna-

FURS RETURN TO FAVOR
An unprecedented vogue of brown furs. No styles too
extreme to find favor Long coats replaced by
graceful three-quarter wraps. Mink and Mole
again lead in exclusive fur garments.

Long before summer loses it's sui
triness, interest in fur wearables for
the coming winter season begins to
be felt. Women clad in diaphanous
gowns and tanning furiously to fend
off that enemy of a pretty face
perspiration-stand in front of the
furriers' windows where next win
ter's styles are artfully displayed
and make mental memoranda of the
sort of furs father or husband will
be asked to donate later on. 1t is
never too hot to look at furs. Trying
them on is another matter, and the
real business of fur collection does
not begin until September breezes
have begun to dispel humidity. By
that time, however, woman has made
her selection and fur fashions for the
winter have become firmly estab-
lished.
The striking thing about the sum-
mer displays of new furs for 1914
is the predominance of brown. Black
furs and black-and- white pelts have,
It seems, had their day, and the real
ly exclusive furs of next winter will
be in brown tones.
Browns and Greens Next Seasons
Hues.
This favor for brownish furs owes
its being, of course, to the marked
favor for brown in costume-half of

"a shade just making its bow in

high place before long-so the cou-
turiers aver Dark green velvet, es-
pecially, is being featured in the new
models for early season wear, and
with green velvet, dark brown furs
are peculiarly rich. Among the most
beautiful of the brown pelts is mink
always an exclusive fur because of
its substantial price. Cheap imita-
ton mink is unthinkable to the wom-
an Of refined taste, and those who
will wear imitation seal, moleskin
and even ermine, balk at the dread
full "hand-painted" mink with it's dis
tinguishing dark streak applied by
some artificial means
AS in the case of chinchilla, or err
mine, mink is made up Of dozens of
tiny skins, laboriously matched to-
gether, and this means expense, for
only a small portion of each little
mink skin Is available if the finished
garment is to have the requisite soft,
velvety texture and rich, dark color
ing. The darker mink is the hand
somer it is, and this fur when of good
quality is always in fashion with
women who do not go in for extreme
effects.
Skunk is another brown fur which

French watering places over fllmy
frocks of machine embroidery and
lace, and sometimes an embroidery
frock shows a touch of fur trimming
at tunic hem or shash-end..
Gray Furs Also Promised Favor.
Some women look their lovcliest
with soft gray fur against the face
and they know it and insist upon such
pelts, whatever color fashion hits
upon. This year the favored gray
furs will be the inimitable moleskin
and chinchilla-for those who cail af-
ford them; for others, gray wolf,
stone marten and chinchilla squirrel
Animal Effects. Pillow Mufs.
One of the prettiest fur sets that
has been shown at the opening of the
season is in the truly animal effect
both as to shape and to coloring-.
made of natural lynx, which has a
most charming color scheme, a soft
ened grayisb bloom over the spotted
surface, beneath which is the deeper
yellow that gives a fame like rich
ness to the surface. This particular
set retained the animal shape in a
short neck-piece in which the tiger
eyed head and the rich fluffy tail fell
over the shoulder, the white edges
of the fur making softness against
the face, and eliminating any tend
ency to hardening the lines. The
muff was quite different from the
effect of the neck-piece, for it was
merely big plain pillow shape, show
off the beauty of the fur to the ut
most advantage, the white fluffy part
at the edges, in place of an added
velvet trimming.
Since this set was from one of the
most exclusive of houses, it is an
argument in favor of the high style
of the animal scarf and the big pillow
muff even in dressy models, though
to be sure this detail is to be decided
by the individual taste of the woman
of fashion, since even the makers of
styles cannot dictate what is to be
the most becoming, and the woman
who asserts her individuality, even

promises to be more fashionable than
ever, and alas! the price of skunk
keeps on mounting with steady and
discouraging persistence. Five years
ago it could be had for a song-then
it was known as imitation sable. Now
and pretends to initiate nothing. 1t
is the accepted pelt for trimming
sealslSin wraps and handsome gowns,
and even tiny edge of it along a
tunic costs substantial sum.
Wolf and Fox Promise to BE Favorites
A few seasons ago nobody would
have thought of wearing the reddish
brown pelt of the humble fox of fence
corners and fields. If his coat ever
found q place in the attire of the
fashionable. 1t was disguised by dye
ing and appeared in black or dark
brown hue. Now red fox-introduced
by Poiret-is tremendously modish
and is entrancingly becoming to
women with red glints in the hair or
brown glints in the eyes. This season
when gay colors run rampant red
fox promises to be tremendously the
thing, used with fabrics in Futurist
and Post Impressionist colorings.
Cross fox. which has a soft yellow
ish tone mixed with brown, also
promises we'll with brown costumes;
and an old favorite revived is otter,
which shades from a deep glossy
brown to a warm chestnut. Wolver-
inc has broad stripes of yellowish
brown on a dark brown ground. Fitch
is an orange-hued pelt overlaid with
black hairs. Wildcat, in yellowish
brown tone. is shown by some Paris
furriers. and one couturier is show
ing cinnamon bear, pelt whose color
has the soft. warm brown suggested
by it's name. Sable is. of course, the

when adhering close to the lines of
the latest fashions is sure to bear a
charm of dress, that does not adhere
to her who follows without thinking.
The Touch of Fur Trimming.
Fur trimming in tiny but artistic
and fetching touches is here again,
much to the delight of woman-kind,
for especially when used with sheer
materials such as lace and chiffon,
there is the element of surprise in
trimming of fur, delightful surprise,
to be sure, that adds to the coquet-
fish charm of dainty garment. Go
quettish" is advisedly used, for it is
an element of chic dressing that no
woman who cares can afford to
overlook, even though she confines
the aforesaid fur trimming to her
frocks and blouses, and does not car
ry 1t as far as her chiffon undercloth-
illg as some of the makers of d.
aphanous French lingerie have done!
This sort of trimming, while it is
really a thing of beauty, is a thing of
economy, too, for it affords a means
of using up bits from past seasons
and If one is buying new, just a lit
tie strip of fur by the yard-and one
can get all sorts in that way. nova
days-will make a garment rich and
smart in style with very little cost.
The fur trimming can be worked into
the color scheme most delightfully."-
for instance, brown skunk on cream
lace blouse, that accompanies
brown mohair suit; gray or red fur
with blue or black velvet.
/.
Mink Always an Aristocratic PeIt.
Genuine mink is always fashion
able, like genuine seal, because of its
rarity and costliness. There are vari-
Gus limitations of mink, but they are
always unmistakable and equally un-
mistakable is the rich, soft texture
of the genuine mink pelt. This neck
piece and muff in conservative shape
are made of mink and accompany a
new autumn tailleur of hunters green
bedford cord, matched by walking
hat trimmed with a fan-pleated chif-
fon bow. Boot of patent leather
with buttoned tops of greenish tan
suede complete the color scheme.
Belts VIII Give Smart Lines to Fur
Garments.
Moleskin is to be as fashionable as
ever, say the authoritative furriers,
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1913-09-20

but the new moleskin wraps and
coats have q distinctive style that
marks them as of the new season.
The wide belt and straight, simple
cut of the moleskin coats are particu-
larly modern and the use of the pelt
in alternate strips running in opposite
directions gives a very handsome eff
feet. The double clasp fastening the
belt is of cut steel.
Fur Wraps Have the Fashionable
Swathfng Lines. -s,,t-.
The fur wrap clings as closely
about the knees as the summer wrap
of soft crepe de chine or eponge did,
This effect is achieved with fur, how
ever, by skillful cut Of the fabric
and not by draping. This new after
noon wrap of imitation sealskin has
the modish, clinging effect at the
knee, a new bag sleeve and q very
effective trimming Of white ermine-
The wrap is worn over a bridge gown
of amethyst CLOTH, slashed to show
high-heeled buttoned boot.

Leopard Is Decidedly Fashionable.
Leopard is one of the most expen-
sive furs and is only for the woman
whose purse strings will stretch gem
erously. This motor coat is of genu-
inc leopard skin-a very different pelt
from the French civet cap which
sometimes masquerades under the
name of leopard. A fur so notified in
pattern. demands utmost simplicity in
the making-up and straight, easy
fitting. lines of this motor coat are ex-
cellent. The coat is worn over a
brown lansdowne tea frock, draped to
show dainty buttoned footwear.
Neck and Muffwear Show Fanciful
Forms.
The severely plain and prim fur
stole and muff are away behind the
times and are distinctly elderly in
suggestion. Young women are to
wear the fullest of fur neckpieces
and muffs, fanciful in cut and trimmed
with puffings of chiffon and silk. This
set of combined white and taupe fox
is trimmed with taupe satin and the
neckpiece has graceful ties of taupe
satin and chiffon. The furs accom-
pany a smart tailored suit of electric
blue whipcord matched by a hat of
blue velvet with a Post Impressionist
crown.

Washington, D. C,
We beg leave 10 be placed on rec
ord as opposing the passage of an
act placing sugar On. the free list.
We are manufacturers of leather belt
ing and depend almost entirely upon
the beet sugar industry for our sup
port. Like hundreds OF industries elm
ploying thousands of people who are
catering to the numerous. and most
extensive wants OF the beet sugar in
sdustry our fate hangs in the balance.
The United States government, has
for many years maintained its policy
of protection over the sugar industry
and we, ike many others. have taken
IL for granted that It would be safe
to devote our capital and our lives
in lines of endeayors directly depend
ent upon tne-sugar industry. The beet
sugar as well as the cane sugar peo-
pie are in the market annually for en-
ormoas quantities of almost every
conceivable commodity. The little
Hawaiian Islands alone purchase in
this country eighty million dollars OF
merchandise annually and for every
pound of, sugar they export they Inn
port pound of freight. The beet
sugar industry consumes an infinitely
greater amount or supplies and the
millions Of dollars they distribute
annually among the growers and sup
ply men soon find their way back into
the pockets OF the remotest consumer
Of sugar. Therefore in buying sugar
produced at home we are in sense
taking the money out of one pocket
and putting it back into the other. IL
we were to send all this money to
circulate abroad, the results would be
serious to almost every line of indus
try. Concluding, will state that plac-
ing sugar on the free list will not
alone annihilate the beet sugar indus
try but viii cripple many lines Of
business directly and Indirectly de-
pendent upon 1t. Asking your kind in
diligence for the liberty we are TAX
ing in addressing you, we are, very
