Now, fox furs are one of the staples
in the market. They are dyed to some

woman of today does not want nor
does she expect to wear the same furs
without alteration-for four or
more seasons as she used to in the
days when we bought Alaska seals in
London market.

the more rigid the rules, and the more
simple the requirements. A plain
frock, preferably on straight lines or
of the Peter Thompson variety-sailor
blouse and killed skirt-of navy blue
serge; or a combination of shirtwaist
and skirt, are preferred; with just one
little silk or net frock to wear to the
school dances. No jewelry whatso-
ever is permitted, save watch and
pair of collar pins. Rings, brace
lets, brooches, chains, 1avallieres, and
the like, are all expressly forbidden,
and if smuggled into school, are
promptly expressed back to the par
ents when discovered.
Slides and combs are to be pre-
ferred to hair ribbons, as being more
in keeping with the idea of strict and
even severe simplicity that prevails.

ton: for just a dip into hot or even

and carriage, are all taken into con-
sideration. In order that the scalp

that is it being reserved for the fav-
ored few. Those of US who may have
sealskin garments held over from for
mer days may possibly have them re-
dyed to the new sealskin shade; and
so keep in step with the front ranks
of fashion. But, for the most part,
this season will see the genuine seal
used mostly in combination with other
furs.
A charming example is pictured on
this page, in which American ermine

tation pelts. It is the veritable ermine,
and it is caught in Alaska and in sew
eral of the Northwest provinces of
Canada-is cleverly blended with
Alaska sealskin. The muff is largely
of the seal, while that part of the
fetching little cape on which most
wear will come is fashioned of this
excellent wearing Alaska pe1try.
In fact. the hall mark of fashion
for the fur season of this year of
grace would seem to be the use of
this national fur-for the Alaska seal

Revivals And Newcomers.
But with the coming of autumn days
furs take their place once more as a
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 multitude
Of novel designs in neck and shoulder
lpieces-naturally present themselves
first. And not only are the shapes
new and novel; but there are some

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
Itreads 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 the
| few figures of romance still left to us.
But, none the less, romance notwith-
lstanding, 1t 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

railroads in South America have

Fox Holds Fashionable.
Speaking with an oldtime furrier
the other day in New York he called
attention to some facts that proved
highly interesting. mot SO very many
years ago." he said, 81 used to spend
money to advertise that, except for
silver foxes, I did not make UP, nor
did I recommend my customers to
purchase fox furs; believing that they
did not give good service for the
amount of money invested in them
Those were the days when Alaska
Esealskin was the most fashionable fur
we had; and many furriers took
beaver and even otter and had it dyed
in the sealskin shades, made them up
into coats of the fashionable cut for
the season. and sold them to some of
their best clients.
Those were the days, too, when in
order to get Alaska seal pelts Ameri-
can buyers had to go to London, pay
the expenses of the Atlantic journey,
purchase the pelts there, ship them
to New York, pay a duty on them
coming in at the Custom House, and
then sell them to their customers at
a price necessarily far in excess of
what the European wearer had to pay.
And that for a pelt grown and caught
in our own country!
