can, because any dyeing process
would spoil the beautiful shadings
which are the chief beauty of this
fur. Two mink sets are pictured in
an illustration today. Both sets are
very handsome but their style - quite
different. There are women who will
prefer the much-trimned set. with
brushes and paws dangling from muff
and neckpiece: other women viii like
best the palmer set in which the
marking of the fur provides the chief
interest and makes for distinction.
Both of these mink sets accompany
brown costumes; the brush-trimmed
set is worn with a frock of brown
velvet embroidered in self-tone and a
small brown velvet hat with an ostrich
wreath; the palmer mink set accom-
panies a tailored suit of cinnamon

Milk Has Prestige In Paris

Mink has been raised to the pedestal
OF high favor this fall; partly because
Paris must always have a change and
partly, doubtless, because mink Is one
of the handsomest of tNe brown furs.
Everything brown is fashionable just
now. and the number of rev brown
shades is bewildering. All the brown
.furs are good; seal. beaver, skunk
nutria. kollnksy and taCpe fox; but
mink is the greatest OF them all in the
opinion of Madam Mode. Anyway 1t

prestige. Not often is it at the PIN

In discussing rent profiteerinF Will
liam c. Benkert, president of the Phil
adelphia Real Estate Board. said:
"Just what constitutes 'profiteering
seems never to have been defined with
any degree of exactitude, but it is
certain that if the statements of dis
interested, unbiased and competent
authorities are to be accepted, that
real estate owners and brokers. the
country over, deserve less the appel
lation of 'profiteers' than the purvey-
Iors of any other commodity"
Mr. Benkert says this is strongly
corroborated by the report Of the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board on
the Increase in Living Expenses
from July, 1914, to July. 1919" He
declared this report points out that
the average increase in cost was II
per cent. "Food increased 80 per
cent; clothing, 100 per cent; fuel, light
and heat, 81 per cent. and shelter,
which is the commodity in which the
real estate man deals. increased only
% per cent"
81 think it we'll first to consider the
increased cost of building a house,
and then to compare the price of the
finished product with that charged
for other commodities" he said. "As
is well known, over 80 per cent of
the cost of house is paid for labor
This can readily be realized when one
considers that the finished house is
made from stone that must be pro-
duced from the qusrries; that the fin
ished woodwork comes from the trees;
that the bricks come from clay. and
SO on for every article that goes to
make up the completed house. All
these things must be fashioned by Ia
bor."
