The production Of furs appears to
lag q long way behind the demand for
them IL one can judge by prices they
bring today as compared to those of
three or four years ago. In the past
year price and real value appear to
have little relation in fur garments;
the most plentiful Of peltS, undyed
and undlsguised in any way, are made
UP into garments that are as expen-
sive as good and substantial furs
onght TO be. Really good furs have
scared up and away until they have
passed beyond the horizon for the
woman of modest income. II was In
evitable that pushes should forge
ahead at the same time but in them
real value and price 90 hand in hand
as they should. Pushes have been
made to initiate frrs very closely In a
group known as fur fabrics and they
are used for all garments that are
made Of fur. A good plush is much
to be preferred TO poor fur from al
most any point of view. II is just as
warm II looks better and wears better
Furs have been very closely initiated
In these substantial fabrics,
