FASHION IN FURS
By A. B. Shubert, fur dealer, Chicago.
The World of Fashion is the creator
of styles. This is true in furs as in
all other fashionable materials used
in style. Woman is the critic. She
knows what she wants. If she wants
it she buys it. Someone in the World
of Fashion, perhaps a member of the
nobility, perhaps someone prominent
in society or on the stage, creates a
new style. If the woman critic buys
i it the creation lives and fortunes are
made by those who sell it to her. If
! the woman critic is not pleased the
creation dies, and fortunes are lost.
This is particularly true of furs, a
material for fashionable style which
has endured for ages. At present the
largest proportion of furs for the
American market comes from Alaska.
The demand is increasing. Values
are increasing. Fox is particularly
in demand, because woman wants it.
In the same list come Fisher, Lynx
and the soft furred Northern Wolf
with heads attached. The market has
been cleared of all the above skins,
higher prices will prevail for them
this coming season and will continue
so long as the animal ’scarf remains
fashionable. After that it will be
something else, no one knows what.
But it will be something in furs that
the woman critic approves of, whether
we want to sell it or not.
Hart, SchafTner & Marx suits and
overcoats. A good assortment of up
to-date styles and patterns to choose
from. Brown & Hawkins, “Quality
First.”
All mushers are invited to meet at
the Commerce Cafe. Open night and

THE DEMOCRACY OF WAR
By ED. L. KEEN
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
LONDON—Imagine John D. Rock
efeller introducing Bill Haywood to
an audience recruited about equally
from the realms of the limousine and
the push cart.
That’s about like the spectacle at
which London was amazed the other
afternoon v,hen the Duke of Rutland
led Ben Tillett to the stage of His
Majesty’s Theatre before a thorough
ly mixed crowd of “upper” and “low
er” class Britishers and launched
Ben’s lecture on the war.
Rutland—tall, monocled, frock
coated, spatted, with Cambridge ac
cent and Mayfair manner; Tillett—
short, stump, sack-coated, baggy
trousered, with an East-End jaw and
a Cockney accent.
The Duke—tory of tories, his
family tree rooted in the middle ages,
a top-notcher of the British landed
gentry, and what certain Americans
doubtless would term a “malefactor
of great wealth.”
The Docker—man of the people,
day-laborer, England’s most belliger
ent strike-leader and, in his own
words, an “international social
revolutionist”—before the war.
It was a graphic illustration of the
leveling effect of the war in this coun
try of classes.
Duke and Docker were on the same
mission—to impress the British public
with its responsibility toward men at
the front.
The aristocratic Rutland praised
the patriotism of the hundreds of
thousands of Tibet’s typo who an
swered the King’s call; and Tillett
handed it right back to the aristo
cracy.
With a forccfulness and rugged
eloquence that brought as much ap
plause from fashionably clad women
in the stabs as from his own friends
in pit and gallery, Tillett told how he
had seen “toffs” and truckmen on the
Flanders battlefront lighting, playing,
eating, sleeping, dying side by side.
I “Whether they came from Eton or
Oxford, or from Bethnal Green." he
i said, “when they faced the hellish
German lire they were as one man."
i He had met a young officer, a
“knut” of the Ultra-Piccadilly club
variety, whose conversation was as
inane as his countenance—“but” said
Ben, “ he had grit, and the men
recognized it and loved him; and
there was not one of them bu‘„ would
have laid down his life for him any
time.”
His message was that despite the
I deadly determination and cheerful
1 optimism of the men at the front
England couldn’t hope to defeat Ger
many until the folks at home saw to
it that they were provided with a pre
ponderating supply of munitions.
