Furs Show the Way the Wind Blows
NEW AUTUMN DISPLAYS FURS in all their luxurious beauty are being lavishly displayed in the big shops in town. This season there seem to be more varieties of fur than ever—as though a few new animals had been found so that Madame and Mademoiselle may have some novel kind of wrap.
of women, after passing by the wonderful fur displays, have gone hastily home to examine their banking accounts or reckon up their credit, or to cast languishing looks on hubby or brother, in the hope of obtaining one of those rich squirrel or minx coats, the hallmark of exclusive comfort. Come to think of it, It is wonderful how the fur trade is when one considers that our winter is compressed into but a few months of the year.
| In the snowy districts ot Russia, in Norway, the land of the midnight sun, j and in the far north of Canada the [ trappers far away from civilisation for almost the ■whole of a year, have spent their time and exercised their brains to snare the diminutive animals which are so prized by the smart lady of fashion all the world over. There is nothing which gives the same softness and charm to a pretty woman in the depth of winter as some softly-coloured fur close up round her throat. Grey is Smart Even grey, which is a colour many women are shy of wearing, is unrivalled for beauty and smartness should it be of rich squirrel or long fox fur. And for the girl with the peaches and cream complexion the wide necklet of white Arctic fox has no equal when it comes to an enhancement of her charms. Just recently I saw a cleverlydyed choker of the palest pink fox —just the very thing for that grey tailored costume which looked so I smart at the races. | As for good old bunny-rabbit, it | comes to us under a new guise daily, j and each day seems to improve in ap- ; pearance. It is quite as beautiful and i far more inexpensive than any of the I other furs, and no well-dresesd woman will despise a coat made from rabbit skin.
