Fur More Popular Than Ever.

Various other furs such as fitch
martin and grey squirrel are also ofton
combined with Hudson seal. The lat
tor IL tho most popular fur this fail. IL
used to be classcd among the cheaper
furs but Is far from that now, In fact
the price OF hip length coat OF grey
squirrel IL almost out Of sight, IL IL u
short soft fur which must he well taxi
en- care of to be worn more than two
seasons.
The hip length coat that mentioned
was made OF light grey skins and was
perfectly beautiful. The cut OF the
coat was rather full. belted in ut the
waist. with a shawl collar and bell
shaped sleeves.
The marmot coats, II trimmed at all,
usually have collar and cuffs OF rae
coon. and one | saw also had band OF
raccoon Mt the bottom. Raccoon Is also
used for trimming muskiGt coats aions
with Hudson seal and nutrl.
Novelties Popular For Girls.
Fur coats have become quite popu-
lar for the college girl and for them
some attractive novelty combinations
are offered. One which attracted my
eye was fashioned OF kangaroo skin
II Is light tan in color and has long
fur much like fox and wolf skins. An
other coat was made entirely of rae
coon. 1t Is quite the newest and most
popular in the medium priced furs, and
has the added attraction of standing
hard wear.
Another attractive novelty was made
of hair seal. This Is not fur but Is
/ the skin of a genuine seal that grows
hair instead Of fur IL Is notified grey
in color and has wide white stripes
running thru It. The coat | saw was
short and trimmed with Hudson seal
collar and cuffs. Something else new
in the fur line Is ocelot, which looks
something like a leopard's skin. 1t is
the same color and has dark spots or
rings like the leopard.
Variety OF Styles Shown.
There Is variety of new and old
STYLES to choose from Ii furs, by which
I mean a collar and muff. The shout
der capes with turned up collars. IKE
grandmother used to wear. are back In
style again but are no more popular
than the tiny piece of fur, which fits
around the neck as choker, or the
larger straight scarf throws, or the
neck pieces made of the skin of large
ANIMAL The newest style in muffs Is
the canteen shape. a little wider at the
bottom than the top and pointed TO-
ward the middle Of the bottom. Muffs
are q little larger but are not what
you might call large. Barrel muffs
that came in a few years ago. are still
good. However, the most popular ar
ticle of fur is the jacket cape. 1t IL
not only beautiful but Is very useful, as
| it Is warm enough to be worn late IL
| the fall in place of coat.
Short fur is the best for capes ano
the prettiest are generally fashioned
| Of seal or grey squirrel while they are
some of mole skin, marmot and musk
rat. Collars of contrasting fur are
used to make the capes more effec-
| tive. AS with the coats, there Is
large variety of skins to choose from
! for making the smaller neck pieces
For general wear probably the mos
| popular is fox. There are skins from
| the red fox and the grey fox and th'
silver tipped fox IS exquisite. 1t Is
black fur and has tiny white tipped
hairs appearing now and then thru tn
skin. Another black fur that Is es
specially lovely is dyed lynx. MINI
and martin are among the more ex
pensive furs but their wearing quail
ties are so good that in the end they az
not prove too dear.
