Sealskin remains the most popular of furs.
Probably the most marked fealure of Sealskin dolmana are the latest novelty, but

They are very handsome and costly, and are
generally trimmed with sea-otter. Sealsacquea
are more desirable this season in being adapted
to the figure, and are made from 38 to 40 inches

a collar and lapel and extra cuffs. Seal buttons
and pendants are used. The price of fur o'

shapes. Their rich beauty requires very little
