Was fur first used for adornmcpt or
protection
This is a question that might Of
fer interesting discussion to students
OF anthropolgy. 1t is no doubt true
that human inhabiting of very cold
cIimes was impossible until men
learned to, rob their fur-bearins
ncighbors of their fieecy coats. But
it is equally true that primitive races
living in latitudcS where peltry OF
even the lightest sort would be bur
den if worn as d matter OF protection
still decked themselves with animal
skins. They used the bushy talls OF
wild animals as adornment, as they
doubtless also did the scalps OF their
human victims. as silent pledges or
their proWess in the chase or battle
The furs of animals were to them as
purely ornamental as the plumase
of birds, and the fondness Tor wear
ing furs must date back long before
the dawn of human history. The Wom-
an of the twentieth century who
yearus for the richly fur-trimmcd
wrap or frock is but oheying one OF
the most primitive of all feminine
yCarningS.
So when Somo one stands UP and
casts diSparaging remarks on the
use of fur merely for adornment, IN
ferring that it is unnatural and ut

may be useless. il may be even cruel
hut unnatural il certainly is not. Ana
f. really is difficult to see how IT ls
moro cruel than ordering q lamb chop
tor luncheon or II kipperd herring for
breakfast.
The fur-trimmed evening frock is
then onv a barking back to fash-
ions that are race old. quite tie
newest idea in this regard Is TO put
the fur in a wide band around the
hem of the skirt. and this hem In the
new dance frorkS seems to be getting
more and more ample.
