Less and less fabrics of wool are
seen in the new models This is the
inevitable outcome of the usage by the
armies of all the wool supply available.
The prices are enormous, and at the
present time a smart luxurious coat is
quite as expensive as fur one. Owing
to this fact, many women will possess
a fur coat this winter, for they reason
| that a cloth one is almost as expensive,
and fur always looks so much more
| elegant. Indeed, the acme of smart
ness and exelusiveness looks as though
| it might be combination of cloth and
| fur.
As result of the extreme demand
| for fur, designers in that trade have
offered many new and attractive de-
signs in odd and different combina-
tons. The most popular combina
ton is of seal, dyed muskrat and
squirrel. These pelts seem to lend to
each other all their. individual quail
| ties of softness and charm. Nutria is in
. big demand because of its excellent
wearing qualities, Mole, of course. is
