you don't know it. As loog as

GOOD. Moth eaten or worn
spots can bo taken out without even showing a Beam.
The only question is what can be done with it? It? out of style and worn.
Maybe it needs a new lining, or should ha stylishly trimmd. That old co it would
make a beautiful cape, and capes are juet the thing this season. There's that old
fur garment you haven't worn for years, beciusi it is all "fagged out." Why. that
will make a beautiful collarette; just th) thing for fa'I and spring woir. Then
just look at that garment. It is entirely "gone up." the hair stands the wrong
wav on it, and it is worn and matteJ. "Its no earthly use." Well, it does look
hid, but by the process ot glazing the fur is brought out and cleaned anJ then,
when rem ideled.it is like new.

This year we will make a specialty of Alterations and Repairs. Our system of
