THEY'RE MOPPlNG BROWS
AND BUYING FUR COATS.

New York July TO- Winter fur,
are selling in July like hot cakes ii
: January. There's reason. Furriers
have made Milady believe that tn
July price tag is a few bits shy o
the same arthmetical adornment in
the winter time. 1t may be true and
again it may not, but the fact is that
the sales force which handles sheer
organdies and voies is having a three
weeks vacation while the poor mis-
creants whose lot is cast in the Hud.

when Milady New York would have
emerged from the shop into the tor
rid zone of Fifth avenue or Broad
way all swaddled in her new fur pur-
chase, but this year fur statesmen say
that women are showing a little

maturely purchased garments in
vaults where neither dust nor moth

1t may be true that womanknd is
using sense in her fur purchases 0
this year, but cents have nothing to
do with this case. Yester-years

so, furriers we're missed when the
information was passed about. For
whether it be a seal from Green
lands icy mountain or mongoose
from Indias coral strand, four fig
ures and mayhap more are required
to express its value.
But to give even a furrer his due
(and we wager much will be due
him for some time), never have furs
been lovelier and more varied. Even
accessories as Innings or fasteners
surpass in fabric and hue those OF
any former year. The past years
craze for the Oriental is persisting
into the next and Innings are Oar
danella or Carmen-like in georgous-
ness. Metal brocades, gold and sil.
yer embroideries, heavy satin rib
bons, and metallic laces in Algerian
blue Chinese red, or Cleopatra
green. line all winter furs from seal
to leopard.
Bona fide coats with fitted sleeves
are still unknown in the fur realm,
The prominent cut is that of the 7
full cape flaring from the shoulder,
unbelted and with Mandarin sleeves.
The dolman coat cut straight from /
shoulder to hem and unbelted is an /
other prime factor. The modish
long-wasted effect was shown at a
fur revue by a coat of mole with
waist extending well below the hips,
from which hung skirt of two
pleatcd flounces. Another novel ei-
feet was shown in an ermine model
with three scalloped shoulder capes
Narrow scalloped bands of ermine
overlapped all the capes onto the
main cape foundation.
Many big, wrappy dolmans Of gray
squirrel or mole are shown. These
have long, straight back panels
bloused la Russian at the waist.
Back and sieve are cut into flar
ing cape effect falling unbelted from
,uff to hem. The most expensive
wrap upon display-so expensive that
he exhibitor would not name his
,rice-was of tiny ermine skins ar
anged so as to form a huge spider
web in front and back.( The cape
vas barrel-shaped, the increased
width of the body being effected by
flaring circle of spider webs. An
,ther novelty was made of sable.
The skins were run from the neck
nto deep border at the hem, then
eversed and run about the bottom
o as to form a contrasting shade.
Hudson seal coats of thirty-six
