other French dressmaker shows mole
dyed a deep bois de rose. Apparently
mole and squirrel are found better
suited to the demands of dyed peltry
this season than the heavier, deeper
furred hare and coney pelts which
were used so extensively last season.
Mole skin dyed navy blue has been
noted on more than one occasion.
Funny thing IL is that fashion
should cause the furriers to dye one
fur the color OF another. Lanvin. for
instance, is using a very fine Summer
ermine dyed TO the color of mink.
x
IT seems to be the dressmakers
rather than the makers of fur gar
ments. however. who are interested
in these rainbow-hued furs. If the
purple COW is still a myth. purple
moles and moss green squirrels do
not seem to be, and you tind furs
dyed garnet. violet. green and red as
part of the trimming on many OF the
frocks made by prominent French
dressmakers. It certainly would seem
like painting the lily to apply a gold
or silver finish to fine peltry, but
then perhaps the fur that Is used as
the foundation for this metaliZtng
process IS not of the first class. AT
all events Brandt and other French
dreSsmakers have used much gold
and silver fur
1t has been observed truly that no
bearer of anything that might be
called fur Is safe from the furrter's
clutches Notwithstanding from the
lowly chipmunk to the long .necked

the peltry used by the fashionable
furriers it is because the furrier has
never thought of II or has not yet de-
vised a method whereby he can rem
der that peltry soft and plant and
attractive. But give him a little more
time and he will get to 1t. So far
there has been no peltry to which
the furriers have given their best
concentration that has not proved to
be disable.
So leopards Of the Jungle arc used
side by side with cats from city back
yards. Stables and seals are spoken
of In the same breath with rats and
rabbits. The only thing necessary Is
that the peltry, such as 1t is. be OF
good quality and skillfully and smart
ly used.
What are to be the smartest furs
for the coming season." Is a Ques-
ton that women sometimes ask when
about to go forth and invest in fur
coat or collar. One authority answers
this by giving a list which runs in
this order Real seal and seal.dyed
muskrat or Hudson seal, the cara
culs, raccoon, broadtail. mink. nat
ural NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in a second
weasel and American broadtail.
Another furrier gives this rule:
For evening you should select ermine.
broadtail, chinchilla, sable. If you
cannot afford them. then get as good
limitations as you can afford Such
furs as seal and sealdyed muskrat,
raccoon, natural muskrat, dyed err.
mine are not considered quite appro-
pirate for evening wear.
Susliki is word that is heard
this Autumn when furs are discussed.

CUFFS OF SEAL

II need be, they Will wear dyed rabbit
or coney--so long. of course, as IL
looks we'll and Is made in the latest
fashion. 1t is hard to say which of
these two methods is better. Only
bear in mind that even the most lux
urious peltry makes a woman look
dowdy If 1t is cut along dowdy or old
fashined lines, and that furs that are
too cheap cannon be made to look any
thing but cheap. no matter how
smartly they are made up, and with
what chic they are worn.
The way in which the dressmakers
of Paris make use of fur in the en-
belliShment and enrichment of frocks
is nothing short of marvellous. They
work with furs as d painter works
with the colors on his palette, and
they can give backyard cat a new as
pect and new name. and we are as
well pleased with it as with ermine
or other precious peltry. This does
not mean that always they use mex
pensive furs. Jenny, Agnes, Delong,
Beshop and Drecoll are mentioned as
the French dressmakers who are most
skilled in their handling of fur. always
knowing just what fur to use with
the various fabrics and how to obtain
the best effect Herewith.
The idea of dyeing furs makes as
strong appeal to the French maker of
women's clothes as ever-though pos
sibly the fancy for hare dyed a pas
sionate purple, a verdent green or Il
luscious rose has abated. Still SPUR
rel is not infrequently dyed TO a love
ly golden shade or to bois de rose, and
rabbit is dyed platinum. Martial ct
Armand are using trimmings of mole
dyed a. lovely violet shade, and an

Hunters of the Dingaroo.

The strange. mysterious dingaroo.
He wears green plumes and pink ones. too;
He has to speak
Through swor6like heak,
And he lives on milk and honey dew.
And the dingaroo has legs like an
ostrich; in fact, he's built like an os-
trich, with green plumes on one side
and pink on the other. He has a long,
sharp beak that cuts like a sword.
and he has double rows Of terrible
teeth" Ferdy Andrews eyes We're
big and solemn as he described the
mysterious dingaroo bird. The other
boys in the circle looked equally grave.
Certainly sounds interesting"

time you so dingaroo hunting
A dingaroo hunt was Immediately
planned to take place next evening.

Fulton Knox, as they chuckled over
having found new victim for the
time honored joke of Western Prep
School.
The next night the bunch met in
deep secrecy and started their hike
toward Bloomfield Woods. On the
way they explained the system of
hunting. Part of us station ourselves
around In the woods and the rest
drive down the dingaroo."

such is the skill of the modern fur
worker that this hitherto despised fur
has been transformed into one of
surprising beauty. The long, bristly
hairs are plucked or sheared, leaving
the soft, rather thin underfur, which
is then dyed. Sometimes they are
made to look like dyed ermine and
they are given a lovely golden brown
or bronze shade.
What has given susliki special i'm
portance at present is the fad-or
Paris origin-for fur-dyed coats. So
well has the new fur-lined coat been
received that authorities on such mat
tiers predict for II q wide popularity
when cold weather comes. These new
coats are made of tweed or some
other similar material and lined with
soft, thin, and plant fur. The susliki,
the muskrat, ermine and squirrel paws
are considered very desirab BILE for this
purpose.

So the king pondered a long time
