By LOUISE FLETCHER . Times Women's Editor ASK ANY WOMAN HER IDEA of 8 super” Christmas gift and the answer, more likely than not, will be furs. It doesn’t matter whether the gift ic a three-skin scarf or a full length coat of fabulous pelts, it makes her fee! like a glamour queen—and that’s an eminently satisfactory result even though it may have a slimming effect on the

bank roll.

Frankly, furs cost more this year than they have for several seasoriz, ‘Trappers have gone into military service or war jobs; the imported fur supply has been affected by the war, and fur processing {almost entirely a manual act) has felt the manpower shortage. Both China and Russia, formerly important sources of furs, have

_ been occupied with trapping the axis and that has cut into the foreign

supply. The trapper shortage has put a definite crimp in supplies of domestic furs such as muskrat and beaver. } Mink and silver fox. produced bv fur farms. have not heen affected by the shortage of trappers. but some breeders have reduced their stock for lack of feed. All these factors have led to depleted supplies and consequent higher prices, ( e 2 = PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THE higher prices there are fewer

the short pea jacket type of coat has ite advocates, too particularly among the youthful. Its flaring lines provide balance for the slim ekirts of today and, in such furs as nutria sealtkin and Persian lamb, it teams equally well with day or evening clothes . ” e ., 0 » EMOOTH, NATURAL SHOULDER LINES, with little or no padding, are the rule. Collars most frequently are small rolled affairs although there are lots of Tuxedo effects, occasionally of a different fur, as black Persian lamb on black sealskin. Bow ties of fur add » youthful touch tea collarless models and there are collar bands on Chinese inspired coats. The ulster or reefer type of coat sometimes with belted back, has a stand-up collar like that of an officer's coat. Brawn furs -—mink, muskrat, heaver, nutria, et al--lead the field

$23,000 each. More rare still (there's only one in existence) is 2 natural white mink shown recently in New York. While these new furs are beyond the reach of most buyers, they are indicative of what it considered a trend toward natural colors. ” ” . ” ” » THERE'S A FLURRY OF FUR In sccessories as well as In coits, Muffs, scarves, bags and hats of fur. fur-trimmed gloves—even little fur-trimmed combs to tuck into an evening coiffure. Ayres’ have the latter, ornamented with rows nf ermine tails, in their accessory shop, Muffs are everywhere, in barrel shapes for the shorter-haired furs, in soft pillow styles for the longer furs such as silver fox. Some= times they have -handbag accommodations incorporated. There's a Victorian muff at Ayres’ made of tiers of ermine tails, = Ermine, incidentally, Is ‘adding ‘a story-hook touch to the style scené” New York fashion reporters noted more ermine at the opening nf the Metropolitan opera than has been seen in years. It ls used not only for whole garments, but in collars for black suits and coats, as cuffs for long black suede gloves, in scarves and muffs and hata. If it's real ermine and not a cotton batting facsimile that deco retes St. Nick's costume when he descends the chimney this year, that revered gentleman will do well to escape with his costume intact,

so popular has the touch sf ermine become. J
