SEALINE A NEW FUR USED FOR
 FASHIONABLE SHORT COATS

Among the favorite furs this season is squirrel. which comes in high grade and is particularly well liked for the popular throws
 good xample of how richly this fur works up was a throw seen Sat urday, of squirrel ending in balls of the same fur. This was priced at $115.
 Cross fox is always strong in pop ularity. An open pelt ins this fur would be an extremely stylish addi- tion to a tailored suit. It is marked s125.
 The scarcity of Hudson seal has fed to the employment of sealine, which is French seal, clipped coney with Hudson seal dye This is much used for the fashionable jaunty short coat which is going to be stronger than ever this eason. The favored length is 30 inches, and as well as sealine muskrat and raccoon are being largely used in these smart coats Of course the long coat continues in great vogue
 This year the makers have devoted special attention to the lining and finish of these garments, which are the last word in elgance.
 A long, hard winter is predicted, to offset the mild season of 191S-19. NC better investment for comfort. style and dura bility can be made than is one of the seasons coats, in any of the favored skins.
 Where the best and most fashion able furs and coats are to be found is told today by The Bulletins advertis-. CTS.
