IT has been interesting to note how

years. We have again returned to

where furs are concerned.

about the figure, is nightmare Of the
past. and in its place we have gar.

clumsy stole and muir of exaggerated
proportions or fantastic shape are no
longer countenanced by fashion, and
we will henceforth swathe our Threats
and protect our hands from the icy
touch Of old Boreas with furs of ex
ceptional beauty.
