Revivals And Newcomers.
But with the coming Of autumn days
furs take their place once more as
legitimate part of the outdoor toilette.
To usher in the new season the fur
riers have made radical departure
from the fashions that were in the
forefront OF things last winter. What
the fur trade speaks of as small
furs"-which will include a multitude
Of novel designs In neck and shoulder
pieces-naturally present themselves
first. And not only are the shapes
new and novel; but there are some
newcomers in the fur field. or rather
one might say revivals or resurrec-
tons of the vogue of some furs that
have been absent from the roll call
of fashion for so long that they are
almost newcomers now.
Industry In American Pelts.
Usually one thinks Of furs as com.
ing from wild and savage places,
where the foot of man but seldom
treads and where the advantages of
civilization are but little known. With
the closing in Of the far spaces, with
the bringing together the ends of the
earth which civilization has accom-
plished, the fur trapper Is one Of tho
few figures of romance still left to US.
But, none the less, romance notwith.
standing. It must be confessed that
the march Of civilization has multi.
piled rather than decreased the supply
Of fur pelts. Mink. mole. beaver,
marten. squirrel. muskrat, and count.
less other peltries are all caught at
their best close in and near around
the haunts of civilization. Imperial
Russian sables have multiplied enor.
mously since the opening Of the Trans.
Siberian Railroad. The extensions Of
railroads in South America have
brought bigger shipments Of chin.
chilla and nutria. While as for the
development Of our great Northwest.

a European buyer for European trade
who paid this top price at that!
The woman of fashion, who pays
much attention to her costume and
can afford to pay for exclusive pelts
and designs wherein to wear them will
have to forego any further purchases
In chinchilla for some time to come.
The South American republics Of Chile
and Peru have placed an embargo on
the catching Of those tiny little ami
mals-they are really of the rat fam.
ily-for the next Ave years. beginning
with September of this year. Not that
chinchilla was ever In danger of be.

scarcely be justified by an inference Of
investment.
