ARE and eumptuoua furs and rare and glo
rious Jewels are the hallmarks oTVealth.
More than any other article in a woman's
wordrobe these gorgeous adornments sftell
money. A man may be known by the company he
keeps, but a woman Is known by the furs and jewels
she wears. Furs mean more to many women than
their Jewels, but to others these precious ornaments
mean more than all else.
There are few women whose souls do nof quiver
when they look at wonderful furs, at the glossy
white of the ermine, the sleek brown of seal and
sable, the weird gray blue -of the fabulous blue fox.
There are few women nowadays who do not realize
the value of these furs and who do not crave then.
With the use of the pelts of so many near-wild and
domestic animals, furs of one kind or another are
within the reach of every woman. But when one
puts a coney coat beside a tailless ermine one feels
very sad indeed. Cheap fox and wolf will keep one
just as warm as the rare blue fox, but. oh! what a
difference there is in their appearance!
In former days furs were worn purely for warmthi
To-day they are as ornamental as pearls, zs sump
tuous as diamonds. I can recall the days when even
a woman of wealth was satisfied with her sealskin
coat and sable ox mink furs. The styles did not
change. To suggest that a muff should be done over
,overy year would have been received with horror
Scarf and
Muff

When the furriers found that tbey could
dye furs any color they wanted, that they
could work with the. skins as deftly as with
silks and satins, they wrought a revolution
in feminine wear. To-day the woman of
fashion has furs to match every costume
and several coats. Recently I have been
looking over the furs of a very wonderful
young beauty of whom I have often written,
young Mile. Monna Delza. Her furs are
worth several kings' ransoms, and to de
scribe them fittingly ' would require all the
compliments in the English and French lan
guages. Mile. Delza has furs that have made his
tory. Men have searched the Arctic, the
Antarctic and the tropics for furs and feath
ers for this .Parisian beauty. This week I
am fortunate Indeed in being able to send
you photographs of some ot her furs, and, I
know, that you will be deilgnted with them.
, And also from these pictures
you may he able to get some
' ideas for your own fur fixings.
But just a few words of
forecast- Ermine will hold Its
own tor evening coats, and
. wraps; '.also for muffs and
scarves for the afternoon. 'Fox, .
' sable, chinchilla - and -skunk ;
, will be the serviceable furs, .
but of course many other of
- tine former favorites will still
be with tts. The ermine wrap Is very volu
minous. ' It has lines that suggest' a bath
'robe rather than a coat, but this fulness is
not cumbersome; as the skins have been
treated in a manner to make them supple.
Personally I like a rich bit of color with er
mlne.H I think that the wearer of this, white
fur should wear rubies' or emeralds. But
tielza wears always pearls.
She has also a long cloak ot Russian
sable, which Is fabulously expensive. The
rose brocade lining of this coat Is delight
ful. And ' so much depends on the lining.
The beautiful brocades are the only possible
linings for these coats, and always a con
trasting color, and one that is becoming to.
the wearer, must be used' Pale yellows,
rose, turquoise blue and emerald are favorite
and very attractive colors for these linings.

By the way, while furs may be used for
more than one season unchanged, the lin
ngs must be changed every year.
Chinchilla has many good points, but it
Is not becoming to every one, and the color
is apt to change after a. season, But such
a set as Delja wears here can never change.
and.lt is most becoming to the actress.1
Chinchilla is Boft and enveloping, it looks
well-with tailored costumes, and s very
effective when worn with velvet gowns..
Just notice he unusual andv very. chic, hat
in this Chinchilla picture. The upstanding'
plume ts exaggeratedly high, but hat trim
ming la Paris gets higher every minute,,
