Fur is the accepted trimming for the

for trimming you can have the most
luxurious sort of a.wrap with the slight

have a fur wrap of this distinction, this
width and this length, you would find
yourself involved with hundreds-no
thousands-of dollars. But you can

of cutting up an old fur coat and US

REPRESENTS THE suN-GoD
-Worshipers Held Belief That
Flames Were the Emblem of
Deity on the Earth.

Fire-worship and legends associated
with the origin of fire have existed
since the earliest times. In many cases
fire-worship was associated with SUM-
worship, and fire was regarded as the
earthly representative of the sun-god.
A common feature of such worship
was the practice of preserving "sa-
cred fires" in the temples.
The religion of Zoroaster, known
also as Persian sun-worship, is of ex-
tremely ancient origin, but persists to
this day. When the Parsees fled from
Persia to India in the Eighth century,
they carried with them their sacred
fires. which are said to have been kept
burning ever since. Other famous ex-
amples of the veneration of fire are
found in the sacred flames" of the
Vestal virgins in ancient Rome. and
the fire affairs" maintained by the
Aztecs.
North American Indians attributed
the origin of fire to various animals
which, according to tribal legends, first
showed their far-off ancestors how to
make 1.-THE buffalo by striking sparks
from stones with its hoofs. and the
panther by scratching the rocky hill
sides with its sharp claws.
