DEMAND FOR
SUMMER FURS
New York Women Persuad-
ed They Cost Less Now
Than in Winter
SELECTION is
MOST VARIED

NEW YORK. July i6.-Wlnter furs
are selling in July like hot cakes in
January. There's a reason. Fur
riors have made Mllady believe that
lhe July price tag is a few bits shy
Of the same arllhmetical adornment
in the winter time. 1t may be true
and again II may not, but the fact is
that the sales force which handles
sheer organdies and volles is having
three weeks vacation while the
poor mlscreants Whose lot Is cast in
the Hudson seal @nd ermine alcOve
mop bedewed brOws as they shove
North Pole garb at Gotham maid and
matron. There was a not lorg-agO
day when Aflady New York would
have emerged from the shop into the
torrid zone OF Fifth avenue or
Broadway all saddlcd in her new
fur purchase. but this ye1r fur
statesmen say that women are show
ing a little horse sense" and storing
their prematurely purchased garm-
onts in vaults where neither dust nor
moth doth corrupt, nor thieves
break In and steal.
10 may be true that womankind Is
using sense in her FUR purchases Of
this year, but cents have nothing TO
do with this case. Yester-year's s
Hudson sal dolman that went for a
song and seven hundred bucks and
ninety cents Is now an even thousand
Is there a cut In II. C. L. II so, fur
riers were missed when the informa-
iion was pass about For, whether
u be a seal from Greenlands icy
mountain or mongoose from lndia's
coral strand, four figures and may
hap more are required TO express its
value.
But. TO give even furrler his due
land we wager much will be due
him for sometime), 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 persisling
into the next, and Innings are Dar-
danella or Carmen-like In gorgeous
ness. Metal brocades, gold and silver
emhroderies, heavy satin ribbons,
and metallic laces in Algerian blue,
Chinese red. or Cleopatra green, line
all winter furs from seal TO leopard.
Bona flde coats with ftted sleeves
are still unknown In the fur realm
The prominent cut Is that Of the full
cape flaring from the shoulder, un-
belled and with Mandarin sleeves
Tho dolman coat cut straight from
shoulder TO hem and unbeltcd is an
other prime favOrite. The modish
long-waisted effect was shrown at a
fur revue by coat OF mole with
waist extending well below the hips
from which hung a skirt OF two
pleated flounces. Another novel ef-
