HW OVEN FURs" is the new
w name given to those lovely
wool or silk fabrics that the looms
turn out so amazingly like the pelts
they initiate. We have known them
for several years, and under almost as
many names as there are varieties in
the fabrics, but they have arrived at n
new point In their development. Their
manufacturers, having made a place
for them by wonderful limitations Of
natural furs, are beginning to work In
dependently of these and are getting
into new paths. Besides their eye
battling limitations Of skins they are
making exquisite furry cloths that are
unlike the furs we know or the fur
fabrics we have seen, or else they APP
pear to be an improvement on the
natural fur that inspired them.
In these new materials and in those
made In close imitation OF pelts there
are very handsome coats this season.
