Now that mere man has dis

vice or contrast obtainable with
wool or silk, fur garments show
every influence, Spanish, Russian,
Colonial and so on. governing
fashions Of the summer.
The coat-dress is developed In
mole and broadtail just as it is in
duvetyn. The fur skirt upon q

the figure Of the mannikin. and

Spanish shawl effect.
Another ermine shawl was dyed
pale ecru, for naturalness is any
thing but essential this season, and
pelts are shown in colors that
would cause their original wearers
to sit up and howl with astonish-

Thus was carried out the

The mink repeated itself in a

Other coats Of broadtail showed
