Silver Fox and a Mink Farming

'~c\oc~c~c~c~c\ \&

é

silver fox and mutations held a week ago at Oslo, Norway. Blue fox averaged ‘ll kroner, silver fox 93 kroner, platinum fox 134 kron- er and mink 63 kroner. Five kron- er is equal to about $1.00 so silver fox would be averaging about $18. and platinums $27.

Annlng, Chadwick and Kiever, Ltd. sale in London last week brought advanced prices as the general fall fur auction came to a close. The official report stated that kolinsky was 90 per cent sold, Russian sable 100 per cent sold, standard mink 100 per cent sold, all st advanced prices, and that mutation mink was withdrawn. Blue fox Russian, brought 45 shill-

_ings, Kamchatka reds 44. to so

shillings. A top price oi £13 was realized for Russian sable. Top price for mlnln was 92 shillings.

Aleutian mink of the mutation breed is a stellar feature in the advertising of Neiman-Marcus, not- ed fur merchants oi New York. They claim to be first with a full length coat in this unbelievably new mutation and state they were the first to show white mink, the first to show fabulous Silverblu mink and Royal Pastel mink in garments. Now in keeping with their traditions they, are present- ing the first full length coat of Aleutian mink. The price is $12,500, tax included!!! They also state that their complete fur collection includes ten colors of mink.

The Montreal Fur Sales (Can- ada) Ltd, will hold a special sale of mink and silver foxes Decem- ber 19th., general sale oi 'mink and foxes January 13th and Febru- ary 24th general sale of mutation mink.

A meeting of Wisconsin fur farmers was held at Oskosh, Wis- consin, last week and great indig- nation was expressed because the United States government had not removed the 20 per cent excise war tax on furs and had permitted the free import oi foreign furs. The state of Wisconsin passed an act this year requiring the labell- ing of all furs with their true iden- tiiication.

Mink is being very extensively promoted in the United States, in fact this is called a mink year there. LaSalle of Toledo, carried a full page ad in the newspapers recently in which coats. capes, stoles and jackets of mink were featured with prices ranging from $3951 to $2,045. Ranch mink capes at $895. and ranch mink jackets at $1,005. were all sold out. Featur- ed also was a Silverblu mink stole

at $1,095.

Howard Sandman oi Wausau, Wis., has consistently advocated improving the quality _oi silver and mutation foxes. In a recent ad- dress to a meeting of fox farm- ers he said, "In order to obtain top values in platinum fox they must be pale in guard hair and have a light blue underfur. in reference to pale guard hair I do not mean white or do I mean chalky under- fur when I say light blue. If your platinum fox have a tendency to run medium dark and blue in‘ guard fur you will receive e poorer price as they will be pur-

and not as platinums. Also ba- ware oi two-tone top hair in plat- inums, (that is pelts having a light back and dark neck and shoulders.) This time is sadly nes- lected. While faces must also be light in color to sell to your ed- vnntage as dark-charactered pelts arc not desired by the trade.

._.__

That brings up the question of markings on iox in general. I have heard many breeders say that they were graduatlly elimin- atrng the white markings on their platinums and white faces. I, for one, do not fully agree with this policy for this reason: White gills on a pale platiunm or on a pale white face are a decided asset to that pelt. Results from sales bear me out, as these pelts are invari- ably sold in the upper brackets- providing theother composites of a good pelt are in evidence. How- ever, the same markings on a dark-charactered white face ap- pear to be a detriment, for the white fails to blend Into the gen- eral character of the pelt, but in- stead gives the pelt e decided con- trast which fails to satisfy gen- eral eye-IPPQII-

in regard to ‘pearl platinum foxes, the pelts should be well

many pearls are dark in charac- ter and have a muddy guard hair. Generally speaking, the standards are gradually coming back in fa- vor. There are various opinions as look in appearance. The trend seems to be towards a dense, shorter-barred fox. This sounds reasonable, for the principal idea is to keep the characteristics of the present fox, only in a modi- fied form, so that thc article can he better utilized in the trade. It will tend to flatter the wearer of the garment, in place of making the wearer loqk conspicuous due to unnecessary bulkiness in the fur. I agree that the extremely long bar oi silver is not necessary, nor does the pelt need underfur comparable to a 4-inch rug in depth. However, this fox must be dense in fur, and not weak and. open, regardless oi whether the guard hair is shortened or not. Beware when cutting down on length of guard hair that you don't revert back to the short and squir- relly type of fox. I would advise you to eliminate all plstinums and white iaces that throw off- colored, wcak-furred pelts and build through your standards.

H6 Wondered why he had no impulse, there in the twilight of the hansom, to gather her as he wohia have upon any similar oc- casion into the arm toward which she leaned. The cab lurched them together and as she glanced up into his face he turned, took her by the underarms and plopped her back into place. “Sorry. Hump oi a hack."

He began to whistle softly from a Broadway success: “Tell Me, Pretty Maiden, Are There Any More at Home Like You?"

"There are a few, kind sir," said Kitty, tilting hcr intelligent blue eyes beneath her carefully matched blue velvet toque. He did not hear her, because they were drawing up before the stone mausoleum of the Pretorious- Twceds and he was fumbling for hack fare. "Haven't you change? l-lere, I have it. dear," She said and slipped him coins from her chatelaine bag.

l-le needed to reckon in cab fares and yet he hated her doing that. Women somehow didn't. Ex- cept “new women.“

At that period, although she was never to admit it in years to come, Kitty considered the old Pretorious-Twecd mansion on Fifth Avenue a culmination in residen- tial achievement. The gray-hair- cd Negro butler in maroon satin brceches who opened one-halt of the ponderous front door; the pouring smell of tufted elegance impressed her. The gas-lit chan- deliers burning in the early twi- light illuminated through their frosted globes a scene which by its very ugliness challenged her reverence.

This musty and dated elegance might denote the encroaching shabby gentility oi what had once been a great house; but just the same, such chroma grandeur was a challenge to those less sure off tion. The Pretorious-Twceds set, rather than followed, the pace. Entering that sbmber house was almost literally a first step into a world that was the hot bun in the bakeshop show window to the chilly little girl on the sidewalk, pressing her nose against the plate

Stafford, generally so slow at perceptions, sensed this, however, because no sooner had they arriv- ed than he took on the jounty air 0i one at home here which he was not for he entered only at his godmother! not frequent bid‘- ding. _

As a matter of fact, Elsie Pre-

Lace curtains, ivell-starched and beauti- fully d " (in the same obtru- alve fashion that the stockings worn by Elsie Pretorlous were mended), and velvet over-drapes with ball fringe, shut out the twi- light scene through which the hack had just delivered Kitty and Staf- ford.

W.C.T.U. NOTES

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Not many weeks bask 1 was awakened from s. sound sleep by the quick sharp bark of a dos. Before I could be quits sure of what had “ ppened mother sound

reached my ears. This was g sharp chirp of one bird in a. nearby tree; in a flash oi time

it seemed that every bird in the arearwas singing at the top of its voice. . .

What had happened? It was daybreak! All nature seemed to sense that n, new day had liawn- ed and what seemed to me to be a. song oi praise and gratitude to our Master and Redeemer was peeling forth from every bird, every flower, every blade of grass, and every leaf. A new day is dawning for the Women's Christian Temperance Union as an organization and for each individual member, early in September the day will break. Shall we be ready and with songs of praise telling forth from our lives enter immediately into the battle for Right and Justice? To follow in the steps of the retiring president is indeed no easy task so we do beg an inter- est in your prayers for we have proven that “Prayer changes things."

A portion oi my time A penny of each dime, I will give to my lord, For I am His Steward.

What I possess on earth. Proportioned by its worth; I will give to my Lord, For l am l-lls steward.

These talents that are mine, For only a short time, I will use for my Lord, For I am His steward.

No greater Joy I find,

Than service of this kind- To be blessed by my lprd, As His faithful steward.

Your New President, Reno Short.

TEMPERANCE FACTS

Temperance Notes have been furnished weekly to local papers in the Maritimea and temperance facts are thus placed before read- ers, many oi whom would not be otherwise reached. Among the summing up of facts regarding the privincial situation, was the state- ment of a Halifax alderman at a public hearing _held by tho Licens- ing Commission that the Halifax police department had told him that arrests for drunkenness had increased 89 per cent since tav- erns had opened,

Another fact was that last year, the expenditure in the gov- crnrnent liquor stores of Cape Breton Island was nearly one-half of the estimated cost of the Strait of Canso bridge. 1n other words, in a little over two years, they drank up the bridge, finan- oially.

-Forwsrd.

TEMPERANCE IN EARLY HISTORY

Abstinence was part oi all the great religions of the Easwllwbt, Bactrla, Persia. India. Two cen- hirles before Christ, the following passage from Phylarchus was written, "The Greeks who sacri- fice to the Sun God never bring wine to the altars because it fl fitting that the God who keeps the whole ,universc in order should in no way bs connected with drunkenness."

All writers note that intempcr- tongue in her cheek. While the Charlottenburg crackled with her own suroness of the foibles oi the world she lived in, male stewed in the flaccid security of a social smugness that enveloped her and her pugs like a. sea of warm oat- meal. Warm plus. Warm flan- nel at Elaine's old throat. Warm and snoring pugs, ,

At last! Here she was. Kitty Muliane erstwhile of Kerry Patch, an invited guest in the home of the Pretorloua-Tweeds; one who was being ushered across the threshold by s butler who est- pected her. Hera she was, drink- ing chocolate through a. fuzz of whipped cream, with a social dowager whose place was so ss- cure that she dared to reign with red ‘flannel her diadem, a. has- aock her footrest, her carpet- upholstered mahogany chair s, throne against s. background of gewgaw, whatnot and chromo for which the attic and dustbins yawn- ccl

Back in Kitty's Kcny days, when this dowager was fifteen years younger, newspaper pilote- graphs of he as a hostess and younglsh ma ron had from time to time been pasted in the scrap- book of this Muliane child, living in s wooden packing case oi s house, end the book kept hid beneath tho thin mattress e bed she shared with four Mullahs youngsters.

ance begins with Noah. the second and actual head of the human race. The ablest critics of sacred and secular literature state that the intoxication of Noah was (1) The result of the ignor- ance of tho law; (2) A lesson, instructive to all time, Eve, in tasting the unexpressed juice of the forbidden fruit was forewarned by the divine prohibi- tion and yet was beguiled by the tempter. But Noah was beginning to be s. husbandman and was therefore ignorant of the poison of decay in the expressed juice of the grape, the most healthful and luscious of fruits. i The effect oi his intemperanco on himself and his two sons. Shem and Japheth, the heads of the Asiatic and European races, is an indication of a, law leading to temperance; while on Ham. head of the African race, is seen intemperance and the condemna- tion in "They ate, they drank."
