RUBY
There seems to be no reference Of
the first appearance Of jewels as fem

early history shows evidence of this
tendency to name women after gems.
Indeed, etymologists do not recognize
Ruby and her sister names as names
at all. and they are not listed in the
lists of cognomen.
Ruby has many equivalents in Sans
knit and among the Hindus who re-

FurS and
Mystery
BY PALAIS ROYAL

Skunk Is a good fur that has
had to live down its own name.
Before the war, while Europe
was buying American skunk
skins under their rightful title,
1t was found necessary, to sell
is successfully in this country
to "rechristen" the animal as
black marten, American sable
or French sable.
The deception, however, was
finally discarded by most of
those who had adopted it, and
today the purchaser of skunk fur
has a strangely different prob
lem on her hands-that of really
getting skunk when she asks for
1t, instead Of some inferior fur
dyed to initiate it.
Poor little animal First it
dare not be known under its own
real name. and now after the
very superiority Of its fur has
won out over all obstacles, the
title previously despised is now
falsely used to sell a variety of
substitutes.
Among the more prominent
masQueraders Of skunk fur are
raccoon and opossum, both Of
which have to be dyed to carry
out the deception. Many a good
reliable furrier carries in stock
imitation skunk to serve those
who do not care to pay the price
of the genuine, but where he diff
fers from his unreliable brother
is in the fact that he sells it hon
estly, properly priced, as imita-
ton skunk. and NOT as genuine
skunk improperly priced.
Like all other furs, skunk is
naturally OF many shades, rang
ing from skins that are almost
unworthy Of curing, up to truly
beautiful peltries rivaling mar
ten in excellence.
This then, adds another reason
to the long list for stunning the
dealer who lacks integrity, for
after all, it would probably be
better to get a good raccoon or
opossum imitation of skunk than
the bottom grades of the genu-
Inc article.
The furrier of established re-
liability is your one and only pro-
lection against fraud.
