Trimmed With Nutria
There is an clement of humor in
the ery temui liable popularity
of nutria fur. leather in tho
season (in the late summer, to
bo exact) it few bold touls
nmong the stjle creatois pre
dicted that nutria would achieve
pronounced vogue this winter.
Their prediction was laughed at
by many of the style folk. "It'a
too much like beaver," they de
clared. "If any fur is point; to
top tho list of pelts it will be a.
novelty a dyed fur, colored in
some unique shade" But even
before the fall season was fnirly
under way nutria had not onl
become the leading pelt in tin
fashioning of coats, vvrapi
neckpieces and muffs, but the
demand for it as it coat-suit
trimming had becomo so insist
ent that a supply shortago was
threatened. Nutria is being
used to trim some of the very
smartest of the tailored suits,
used to trim tho dressier of the
afternoon coat suits, nnd it is
a favored embellishment for
afternoon dresses. Tho above
bkctch shows u street fcuit
of navy-blue civet trimmed
with nutria. The coat, hanging
freo at" the sides and belted and
buckled in front, presents a i.evv
idea in modeling.
