100000 FOR SABLE COAT.
Garment Took Three Years to
Gather l19 Matched Skins.

NEW YORK, November "A fur
coat, valued at 100000, and said to
be the most expensive garment of it's
kind ever stitched together for
private purchaser in the United
States, has just been completed and
delivered to a customer by a local
firm, which declines to disclose the
name of the buyer further than to
say that she is"a woman well known
in society in New York city"
This is the third super-luXurious fur
garment reported sold within the last
few days. Trade papers have men,
toned the sale of Russian sable
wrap at $4,000 and a chinchilla gar
ment at $4,000 by another local firm.
This coat is of the fur specifically
known as imperial Russian crown
sable, 1i9 perfectly matched skins,
selected from thousands of pelts, be-
ing used. The skins came from the
Irkutz region of Russia, and the col
lection, which took three years, was
completed last summer, after infinite
selection, cutting and grading. So
ed and. stitched that the coat seems
to be made out Of single pelt. 1t is
ferty-eight inches long and weighs
Just six pounds.
An examination Of the tax records
at Washington recently disclosed that
the people of the United States have
been paying yearly In taxes approx
hately $10,000.000 on furs, Compared
with $100.006,000 on automobiles, and

Holding for Better Prices
CurtaiIing Buying Power
BY !. v. SHANNON,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW ORLEANS, November a.
There has been slowing down In
demand and falling of in distri-
button of many lines Of merchandise
In this section this week, This ia due
to the hating tendency evidenced in
tho movement OF agricultural prod
ucts and disappointment in the
lumber sections over failure OF orders
to keep up with the scale OF the last
two months.
Farmers as a rule are refusing to
sell their products at lower prices
now in effect in most markets and
are holding for better prices. which
they believe will come when tho re-
dictionary movement in the specu-
lative markets shall run it's course.
The favorable terms under which
the War Finance Corporation is ad-
yapcing money to the banks to help
the farmers carry their crops is prov
ing of great assistance to the latter,
and has prevented the dumping of
their products on a falling market
The holding movement. however, is
curtailing the buying power of the
agriculturists and as result many
of the interior retail merchants are
buying only for immediate needs.
There is a general feeling that busi-
ness will pick up shortly and that the

If | was a real artist and could
swing a brush on canvas, I'd point
a picture. 1t would be of man
and woman with youngster
holding each by the hand.
In the background l would have
fascinating people, and popular
frivolities, but the couple would
look only at the babe, and i would
ignore them and each other and
call my picture, "And Little
Child Shall NEED Them!"
The little being that parents
bring into the world should be
greater to them than their work
or bond.
When little dhild comes to
bless an union, that little one is
entitled to clean and wholesome
surroundings no matter how hum
bic, and the father and mother
who have given this little soul TO
the world owe it to that little
being to have a proper start upon
life's highway.
/ can understand how a vain
man so far forgot his duties as
husband to trifle with some in
sipid >siren that crosses his path,
or how silly woman may be
fattered into indiscretion by some
honey chipping. fox trotter, but
how either of them can forget
the great responsibility of pa
renthood and besmear and spoil
the family name for the young
and innocent is beyond me.
A man may be deceitful and
two-faced enough to put II over
on his faithful, trusting wife, and
a wife may be able without blush
of shame to deceive the man who
has done her the honor of mar
riage, but how either Of them
can look into the loving little
eyes that look to them for all
that is good and fine and true in
this world, knowing they are un-
worthy, is beyond my compre-
hensiol.
Better that all the world con-
demned me than that my baby
should doubt me Or suffer through
my selfishness.
Think of the homes that have
been broken up because two peo-
pie who have made their choice in
life have gone on trying to get
kick out of Hirtations that should
have been over when they found
their mate.
If they would not play around
they would not come to think
that they made the wrong choice.
And more important than each
other is that duty they owe to
their children.
What a sad situation when a
son must turn against his father
and side with his mother. And
a sister be condemned by her
brother for turning against her
mother.
A man prides himself upon mis-
word in the business world, upon
his sportsmanship in a contest,
upon his integrity as a man--but
he may fail in the highest mis-
sion on this earth-a father! ~
A husband falls for fattery, or
to be considered wicked at the
club, or to prove able to keep up
more than one establishment. A
wife fiirts to prove to her hus-
band that she can still attract
other men, but what a false set
of standards these are.
They have no business looking
