a surprising change in front in the
last few months. During the war and
even up to the actual consideration
Of the Fiume question there WAS no
more idolized figure in all Italy than
President Wilson.
When he visited Rome and other

the ofiicial information bureau of the

S85,OOO SABLE COAT
GIFT TO THIS LADY
Brooklyn Woman Presented Five.
Pound Wrap Costing S1,602
An Ounce.

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-An American
woman, the wife, sister, mother or
daughter of postwar Croesus cher
Identity is the secret of big Brook
lyn furrier) received today an $S5, 900
Russian sable coat. 1t is a kind of
dolman, a garment of rare loveliness,
consisting of ninety-three skins from
animals trapped in the interior of the
Burgesin region of wild Siberia.
This extraordinary price, paid for
a luxury weighing a little more than
five pounds. was at the rate of 81 ,6O2
an ounce. The coat was valued ap-
proximately at fifty-two times its
weight in gold. And yet this Brook
lyn firm, which has trading posts in
Alaska, Russia and other cold and
forbidding regions of the world, says
that sables this year are mot the
most expensive furs." An advance of
so to 75 per cent has been made in
these gifts for the rich has been made
since last spring.
The palm for the highest-priced
furs, however, must be awarded to the
finest natural black foxes, which, at
present, are bringing $500 a pair,
enough to make "set" consisting of
a scarf or neckpiece and a muff. Last
year the price was 5000.
