' o ‘TRAVEI.ING COAT / i " FURS ALMOST " BEYOND REACH }High Prices Will Force Many to Give Attention to Their Substitutes. PONY SKINS MAY COME BACK ‘Whatever Happens, It Cannot Be De- niéd “That ‘the Garmerits of ‘Nat- ural Furs Are the Most Sump- ‘tuous of Recent Years. Of course we are appalled at the tremendous cost of even the smallest ipleces of tur, but when' the manufac- Tturers tell us that the cost of making 48 equal practically to the cost of the #king we must bow to the inevitable :and pay if we can. Because of ‘the ipeculiar conditions which exist in the fur world, we may look for a great ‘vogue in the plush, velvet, astrachan and other materials which may be called “near” fur, as they give the same degree of warmth without cost- ing anything like so much. Even pony skins' are likely to réturn, it is hinted, <and the so-called caracul also, writes e gartha Goode Anderson in the New ‘Sun, | It will be recognized at a glance that many of the new garments are really triumphs of the furmakers’ art, for the soft and exquisite grace of many of the moleskin wraps would alone prove this assertion if those of .no other pelts were considered. Be- cause of the small size of the soft and velvety mdle the makers of wraps -of this rodent have achieved a beau- tiful result by blocking the skins in squares, which presents a handsomely- shaded surface. This effect is attain- ed by the use of hot irons which mark the skins in squares or rows, running now and then along the bot- om of the long dolmans and capes. One of the handsomest of the mole- skin wraps is made up in a dolman effect by outlining a yoke across the ‘back. From underneath this yoke the hack of the wrap falls in rather ‘flag- ing lines quite to the edge of the skirt. An enormous collar of the shawl type folds over the yoke in the back and extends quite to the waistline in front, where it fasténs with a huge fur but- ton. There are no sleeves, but long and deep slits at the sides for the arms. Inside the lining is of the handsomest and most beautiful of flesh-pink brocaded satin, with ampie pockets fitted at the sides. Of course such a sumptuous wrap is intended for only sumptuous wearing, so to speak. Its cost is close to $1,000, while a companioncoat of mink as soft as a baby’s skin is well over $2,- 000. There is a story going the rounds of a certain newly rich lady who showed her new string of pearls to a wealthy woman whose wealth had been with her long enough for her to he entirely accustomed to it. Said the newest rich lady: “My pearls cost '$200,000. What did yours cost, Mrs. Brown?” The answer came like a flash and a revelation, “I should hate to have mine look an oyster in the face.” Rage for Fox Skins Persists. To return now to our skins—furs, I mean. It is astonishing the way fox holds on. First we have a season 'vhen the white stoles are in such de- mand it seems impossible to meet it, then comes the wonderful -cross fox. with its rich blend of yellow and Vbrown, and then the no less beautifu! pointed and silver skins. The rage for these beautiful fur pieces is just as insistent. now as it was last fall OF ENGLISH BEIGE, BISSUE-FUR COLLAR. MOST, ATTRACTIVE FOR FALL WEAR. aud again this spring. The long hair of the fox makes it particularly be- coming to all and the many shades in which it can be bought have much to do with the demand. Black lynx, too, is a fur which never seems to lose its popularity. It, too, has the long and very soft and silky hair of the fox. Mink, with its shorter hair, has always seemed to be particularly suited to elderly women, but when it is combined, as it is this year, with deep rolling collars of seal or ermine or dyed skunk or some fur with a softer texture and a deeper color, nothing makes & more exquisite wrap. There seems to be a determined effort to produce -a demand ‘for monkey fur. It goes well as a trimming for other garments, as I have recently observed it used fringelike on a voluminous and gorgeous evening cape of black satin, faced inside with orchid satin velled in the same colored chiffon. Sports Coats in Fur. Last year ‘muskrat - came to be 8o much in demand as a winter sports coat that the price was pushed almost as high as seal. The muskrat coats are agdin in high favor for general utility wear, such as motoring, trav- eling, skating and such allied 'uses. The skins are blocked and matched with great perfection and made up into ‘whole garments as nearly tailored as a fur coat can be. These are particu- larly esteemed by younger women, as are the short jackets of gray squirrel. The latter are very smart indeed when made up into the hip length styles and untrimmed by any other fur. Chil- dren's coats are especlally in demand in this fur and some are also made up in the brown squirrel. As to the smaller wraps, the little coatees which were brought out last season are again to be much used, for the fashion makers are kind enough to permit the use of a last year’s model this year, thus doing away with the necessity of paying enormous prices for the mak- ing over. The Eton jacket is the new- est in the coatee models. The cape coatees are of the same belted models used last year, fitted in at the back and flaring and full in cape effect in front. They, too, have the high, rolling shawl collurs seen on all the new fall mod- els. The demand seems to be great- est for the darker furs such as skunk, seal, sable, dyed muskrat and dyed squirrel, but as I said above these are just as often seen in a combination with one of the domestic furs in nat- ural colors. In selecting the short jackets it must be remembered that nearly all are fitted with the high choker collars and whereas one sees the shawl and rolling collars on the longer coats, and dolmans and capes, the straight- around and high, tight collar seems to be preferred on the shorter coat. This of course permits the use of the extra stole if desired and is therefore advsa- tageous. Smaller Pieces Are Combined. As to the demand for the smaller pieces, the one, two and three skins are made up in mink, sable, skunk and fox, though the latter is quite suffi- cient in one piece. The beauty of skunk cannot be denled. In one in- stince it is put together in a straight strip of the skins to make a stole at least a yard and a half long and half a yard wide. The skins, perfectly matched and blended, are marked by the hot irons where they are put to- gether, and this sort of marking forms a good effect in the whole piece. The ends are finishéd with many tafls sewed on like tassels. As to muffs, they are quaint and round and small, like the Kate Greenaway models. The fashion of using muffs disappeared Someéwhat last year when the fur dol- man and capes and long stoles en- tered. Itwas found that the long sides of the cape served as cover for the hands and gave sufficient warmth. However, muffs are to be much used this year. n this war-impoverished world. The REASONS FOR OWNING HOME Fourteen Points That Will Not Cause 8o Much Controversy as An- other Famous Set. 1. In the long run the home owner s more prosperous than the renter. 2. The home owner is permanent; the shifter does little good to his eity or himself. 8. The home owner is progressive; the renter is not interested in pro- gressive movements. 4. Habits of thrift learned in home buying add to the wealth of the indi- vidual and the city. 5. The. home owner beautifies the cit; he renter does not. 6. Other things being equal, home owner is a better worker than the renter and keeps his position after the renter is discharged. 7. The owner of a home has an ever present protection against poverty and will not become a charge upon the commaunity. 8. No city of renters can ever suc- ceed. No nation of tenants ever be- came great. 9, A city that is worth living in is worth owning a home in. 10. Other things being equal. home owner is a better citizen, a bet- ter soldier, a better American than the renter. 11. The prosperity of any city de- pends upon the prosperity of its indl- vidual citizens. 12. The more beautiful our city is the more people will be attracted to it. 13. Home owners add to the buying power of a municipality. Tenants detract. 14. Self-respect and are the greatest assets in life. Health and happiness are the children of success. the the independence To Get Rid of Ants. Powdered borax sprinkled around the infested places will exterminate both red and black ants. Powdered cloves are said to drive them away. Another plan is to grease a plate with lard and set it where these Insects abound. They prefer lard to anything else, and will forsake sugar for it Place a few sticks around the plate for the ants to climb up on. Occasionally turn the plate hottom side up over the fire, and the ants will fall in with the melted lard. Or, use a small amount of oil of turpentine, run inte the ecracks with an ordinary sewing ma- chine oil can. Home Gardens Pay. Garden work is health giving, es- pecially for those whose occupations are indoors. To allow land that might grow food to lie idle 18 almost criminal, products of the garden are simply in- dispensable to a wholesome dietary. When home grown their quality must be hetter than any that can be bought. Next year shoyld see a further in- crease, instead of a further decrease, in home gardens. Subscribe Tor The Pioneer.
