New York.-As far back ns one can
look into the annals Of American
fashions, the possession Of n sealskin
coat was accounted supreme happi-
ness. The woman who had such "A
garment, linked with pair OF dla-
mond earrings, either strutted In her
vanity or tried to look unconscious OF
the envy OF her ncighbors.
Other times, other wishes. Three
decades have passed since the seal
skin coat was n desirable possession,
and the diamond earrings swinging
from n long loop that went through Il
pierced hole In the ear speedily sank
into that blackncss of barbarism from
which II had sprung.
The fur coat and the diamond ear
ring are with us again, and again hui
man nature responds to the same old
call. They are not in the shape In
which they prevailed for so many dec
ndes among our best families. Look

Fur Goats and Earrings Again

II was necessary to Introduce semi
precious furs, because II was not pos
sible for the masses to pay the price
Of the precious ones: so this winter
we have vast variety from which to
choose.
The furriers say there is no one
animal that reigns supreme and that
the peltry Of any animal Is worth
while II 1t passes through the right
hands. The art OF the furrier has be-
come significant. His Is the magic
quality to make squirrel look like
sable, to make raccoon and possum
reach important heights and to put
pony skin on pedestal. He has
learned how to point the common fox
and lift the wolf into greatness. He
has made beaver almost precious and
has made Belgian hare do some serv-
Ice to the world.
II is no wonder. therefore. that n
woman pays well for peltry. no mat
ter from what animal II was skinned
Her dollars go to the furrler, and that
Is where she is far behind the stone
age woman who employed no middle
man between the beast and the gar.
ment.

II we were born before the barbarism
was abolished.
There are thousands of us now who
bear those scars. We cover them up
with tabs Of hair or. better still, with
ornaments that clamp over the ear,
just to hide the ravages OF an earlier
epoch.
We have not given up the barbarlc
baubles; the world is too young to
ask that denial of women. The elm
ination of colored stones. cheap and
precious, may come as civic life
presses itself more insistentiy into the
social scale and women will do as men
have done In giving up all that Is or
namental and resisting the lure of the
barbaric.
Elemental and Primitive.
After all, we are elemental and prim-
tive In our clothes. We may change
the symptoms, but the deep-seated dis.
ease Is there. What woman Is there
who doesn't want to wear peltry2
Those companions of the Paleolithic
men in Europe probably received mas
slve peltry as marriage gifts.
Men have always been hunters of
game, and women have always been
wearers of skins. Therefore, how can
we expect to change primitive instinct
merely because we have changed our
behavior? And then, there Is nothing
else that keeps one SO warm as peltry.
one may argue. This reasoning, how
ever, has little to do with the fact.
There are women as far south as the
boundary line of Florida who are buy
Ing fur coats that reach to their heels.
and there are women In India who still
gird their lOins with the skins of
beasts. Logic and reasoning are not
behind the wearing of peltry II Is the
absolute expression of prlmOrdlal In
stinct.
The skins Of the animals are not
the same; they differ us the worlds
epOchs differ. II was quite easy for
a woman Of the stone age to invest
herself In the skin Of stone age AMI
NAL. but today 1t takes many skins
from the squirrel. ermine. sable. rab.

one might say are out Of fashion: first,
the band of fur ON the hem of cloth
or velvet coat second, the small ami
mai with head and tails worn snugly
around the neck. No one who dresses
well Is partial to the usage Of the en-
tire animal this season. which Is well,
for there is nothing artistic about the
head, CLASSY eyes and feet of dead
animal hanging below woman's live
face. Why look like the hunter home
from the field?
The small neckpiece Is In the shupe

The extra high coachmans collar OF

do not like to spoil the shapellness of
| their shoulders and back by hanging

IS really shoulderpiece, for In many
Of the best models 1t extends to the
walstline. There is snugness about
the shoulders that Is reminiscent of
Victorianism.
| The prevailing fur coats have less
flare thnn last winter, unless they are
cut three-quarter length. The long
ones hang In straight, medieval line,
with sometimes n deep band of anoth-
er fur at the hem. Their rivals. the
velour and velvet coats. have the hem
free Of peltry, but make up for this
omission by lavishness at the waist,
the neck and the wrists
Immense Slavic belts of fur, orna-
mented with barbaric designs of jew
els In front, are fashionable for gowns
and coats. Wrlstlets of fur that reach
almost to the elbow are also in de-
| mand.
The mum is small affair, barrel
shaped and usually made OF two kinds
of fur. Its distinguishing feature Is
simplicity. 1t has no cordings nor
frllls nor ornamentation.
Evening gowns are trimmed with
fur, and evening coats are heaped with
It, Black and white tails of ermine
are used to fringe the edges of velvet
evening gowns, and on one distin-
gulshed black velvet dinner frock there
are shoulder straps of ermine and a
diplomats ribbon Of the same peltry
that Is spread across the chest and
finished ut the waist with a rosette.
Among the furs that are offered as
first choice. this season are ermlne.
kolinskl, flying squirrel. sealskin. Bel
gian rabbit, sable, skunk, moleskin
and beaver. The smooth peltries are
preferred to the long haired ones. Even
such furs as kolinski and skunk have
a razor passed down them by the fur
rier to bring them to the softness of
sealskin. This Is the first time that
1t has been possible to make that
coarse fur called skunk becoming to
the face.

PLANT MASS OF FLAMES
(By international News Service.)

NIAGARA FALLS, March 8-A terrific chem
cal fire that cannot be extingushed is threatening
to destroy the entire million-dollar plant of the
Electrical Chemical company situated near here.
The flames leaped forth Immediately after an
explosion which occurred late last night and to-
day continued to eat their way through the vaua-
bic buildings, despite the desperate efforts of the
entire city fire department.
1t is understood that ordinary chemical extn-
guishers do not effect the blaze and water cannot
be used because of the nature of the fire. Officials
believe the explosion of incindiary origin and are
inclined to place the blame of the disaster on the
shoulders of some foreign agent The plant was
running overtime filling large war orders. The
damage will probably reach nearly 100000.
