Pedigree Of Peltries.

II Is rare that we question the name
OF the hides that are sold to US. We
might be shocked II the truth were
suddenly thrust at us. But what mat
ters IL IL the peltry belonged to a cat
instead of a sable. IL 1t looks well and
has an air. The trick is IN the cutting
and shaping, after all. and not in the
pedigree of the beast that gave 1t up.
unwillingly. to suit woman's within.
1t would please many of us. no doubt
to know that some dead domestic thing
had been stripped in an Arctic winter
and left to starve until the Indian
trapper came around to gather IL up.
1t is quite well for women who are
tender-hearted not to ask too many
questions about the piece of fur they
wear. of its name or it's kind of death.
Well. why be mournful? Fur is fash
ionable: fur is worn by those who have
heart as well as those who have 1t not.
and. whatever the purse. 1t Is stretch
ed TO make IL meet the price of a bit
of animals hide to swing about the
shoulders. Much of ii has been OBJ
tanned in a painless way and that is
enough to know.

bring TO IL a few new markings of
their own And by so doing they will
make it more fashionable to wear a
piece of peltry that Is stamped by the
design OF today than to go on wear
ing the whole fox, head and tails, that
has adorned the shoulders of women
for several years.
Much that Is original will be de-
manded of those who shape fur this
season. and II is well that we have a
host of Russians in this country who
know how to put the small pieces to-
gether with trained fingers and willing
minds. The master designers may be
lacking in a country that has always
captured many hide-bearing animals
and sent them to Paris to be dyed and
shaped, but the final result should be

and more into favor. The straight sill
houette of a suit Of this type must be
adhered to. and long coats and haring
skirts are never harmonious. I
The suit sketched is especially adapt
cd for a slender figure, but 1t is not
necessarily a misses model. No clearly
defined dividing line is drawn between
garments developed for young or ma
ture women, style suitability being de-
cided almost wholly by the figure. Many
elderly women these days retain the fg-
ure lines of girlhood.
Side-fastening effects are very much
in evidence in the lineup of suits.
Some models fasten in a straight line
at the side. as in the one here shown,
while others have a diagonal closing
from one shoulder to center front Suit
coat length Is also very frequently ir-
regular. the coat coming entirely to the
edge of the skirt on one side and gradu-
ally slanting upward on the opposite
side until it may be little more than
hip length

Stating that legislation which pre-

when war started and recommending
radical changes In the system OF

chief OF stan, submitted his annual
report to Secretary Of War Baker
yesterday. Since the report was writ
ten General Scott has retired.
An act OF Congress of June 3, 1916.
provided that nifty Officers should
be appointed to the general staff, but
that not more than One-half OF them
could be ON duty in Washington at
any one time. In the European

grades were on the general stan.

was declared they had only TO set a

could be wei lurganized. II placed
. serious handicap on the army. he
said. in not having sufficient we'll

The Chief OF staff also stated that
there was a serious lack OF co-ordina-
ton In the United States Army. which
must be eliminated If the greatest
success Is TO be achieved. Instead OF
all lines of Army activity converging
in the general staff, he says they
merely run parallel to IL, and there is
a possibility Of question Of authority.
He recommends that the General
stan absorb the Aujutant Generals :
office and the duties OF separate
chiefs for Infantry. Cavalry. Field
and Coast Artillery: the Capitalization
Of command by the Secretary of War
