It is hard to say which of these two methods is better Only bear in mind that even the most lu urious peltry makes woman look dowdy If it is cut along dowdy or old- fashined lines, and that furs that too cheap canno be made to look any thing but cheap, no matter how smartly they are made up, and with what chic they are worn.

This doe: not mean that : v use inex- pensive furs , 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 therewith.

Apparently mole and squirrel are found better sulted to the demands of dyed peltry season than the heavier, deeper furred hare and coney pelts which were used so extensively last season Mole skin dved navy blue has been noted on more than one occaston Funny thing it is that fashion should cause the furriers to dve one fur the color of another. Lanvin, for instance, is using a very fine Summer ermine dyed to the color of mink. * % % % 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 find furs dyed garnet, violet, green and red as part of the trimming on many of the frocks made by prominent ¥ dressmakers. It certainly would seem like painting the lily to apply a gold or silver finish to fine peitry, but then perhaps the fur that is used as the foundation for this metalizing process is not of the first class. At all events Brandt and other French dressmakers have used much and silver fur. It has been observed truly that no bearer of anything that might b called fur is safe from the furrler chutches nowadays—nothing from the lowly chipmunk to the long-necked roo. f any beast of field, for- est or water has not been listed among e " Things Mr. Monk’s New Adventures.

The proper place to hold the ball when running is along the in: the forearm and pressed again ribs.

But give him a little more time and he will get to it. So far there has been no peltry to which the furriers have given their best concentration that has not proved to be usable. So leopards of the jungle are used stde with cats from city back Sables and seals are spoken of In the same breath with rats and rabbits. The only thing necessary is | that the peltry, such as it is, be of »od quality and skillfully and smart- d. “What are to be the smartest furs for the coming season?” is a ques- tion 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 =eal and seal-dyed muskrat or Hudson seal, the cara culs, raccoon, broadtail, mink, nat- ural muskrat—mentioning in a second group dyed squirrel, ermine, dyed weasel and American broadtall. Another furrier gives this rule: For evening you should select ermine, broadtail, chinchilla, sable. If you cannot afford them, then get as good | imitations as vou can afford. Such | furs as seal and sealdyed muskrat, | raccoon, natural muskrat, dyed er | mine are not considered quite appro- priate for evening wear.
