FURS-A SUMMER PROBLEM

It no longer seems Incongruous coats accompanying plain coloured to hear furs mentioned as an item frocks, or vice versa,, create some in the summer wardrobe, and we of the smartest sports costumes. have come to expect the sales that are an annual feature during the late summer months. Yet there are always sceptics, who question the reductions offered in these sales, and offer the suggestion that furs) aré, really, a winter commodity. For such as these we repeat the general information governing these sules.

Smart-What Say?

There isn't a doubt that the fur you will need next winter can be purchased during a summer sale at a price it will be impossible to duplicate when the fur season is at its height. And there is a perfectly logical reason for this. Summer business would be, without these featured sales, practically nothing. yat the merchant must be financed- during the dull time. And he must keep his artisans at work, if he would keep them

Repairs on fura can be done for lesa at this season, for the work- men are not as busy, and delay in repairing means that top price must be paid, for they have all the work they can handle, and more. This summer service of repairs and of sales makes it possible for many wornen to possess a fur coat" who would not be able to do so other wise. But some knowledge of the various furs should be in the pos- session of the buyer.

We know that the general, ten dency of Fall-fashion is toward elaboration, with restraint, we will admit, but elaboration, į just the same. This means that any coat but the conservative one, will be out of date the second season, for It is amazing what detalls can do toward dating any garment. So It Is Imperative that the buyer tako into consideration the fact that an sual odor the season
