T. RHINE is for those who may in
Il dulge in Injuries and buy other
furs for real utility. Not that the roy
al fur is not durable enough, but be-
cause its creamy wilderness makes it
impractical for the workaday world.
It is a fur for occasional wear and,
since it will last for a long time,
should be selected in shapes of muffs
and neckpieces that are always in
style. The rather large flat huff and
the plain straight scarf are never
passe, and therefore the safest choice
in the richest furs.
Narrow boas of ermine and small
neckpieces are really more chic than
any other finish to the pretty mid~in-
ter promenade or visiting toilette.
Muffs, whether made to wear with
large or small scarfs and neckpieces,
are usually rather large. But ermine
is one Of those splendid things that
look best when sparingly used. Like
diamonds that are too large, and
rich lace recklessly used, as II it were
OF little account, something is lost of
the best effects when ermine is made
