"Ranchers have so many minks available," says Mor- ris Reller, a fur expert for more than 41 year, 'that pastel minks in particular will cost about 25 per cent less than usual." If a woman is planning to purchase a mink coat, sum- mer is the best time to do it, advise the experts. "Next year, prices will rise again because ranchers will have to spend a good deal of money in feeding and caring for the increased numbers of stock," says Mr. Reller, But he warns women not to grab the first thing they see just because it has a low price tag. Mr. Reller, president of the Reller and Goodman Fur Co., together with his partner, Herman Goodman, runs the manufacturing house. He pointed out some of the essen- tial things to look for when buying a fur. "If you want a good quality mink make sure the coat or jacket or stole has been fash- ioned from Canadian minks. Canadian minks are by far the best on the market due to the climate and conditions under which they are raised. European minks are inferior in quality when judged by Ca- nadian standards." WATCH FOR TINGE And "stay away from a coat whose fur has a reddish tinge to it." This indicates a sub-standard fur which is probably several years old and has begun to turn in color. "Next, make sure you are not paying for a coat in which a minimum number of furs have been used'.' One way to check this point is to tape-measure the "sweep" of the coat. 'Run the tape along the hemline of the coat. A full sweep will measure about 60 inches; a skimpy item will probably measure less than 50 inches." A good mink coat will be lustrous in appearance and silky to the touch. Male skins are superior to female skins, even though male hairs are slightly coarser than female. Miss Alice Christine Jen- sen and Ronald Edward Miles have chosen Saturday, September 2 as their wed- ding day, according to an announcement nade today by the bride-elect's parents, Mr. ana Mrs. Christian Jen- sen, Brockville. The cere- mony will take place in Em- manuel College Chapel, Vic- FORTHCOMING MARRIAGE Mr. and Mrs. Carl S. Myers SEPTEMBER 2ND IS SOCIAL NOTICES The male stripes are far- ther apart than the female stripes. "If you blow on the hairs of the mink, they will separate but return to their original position. If the hairs remain askew, the quality of animal skin is poor." Although the: mink is still the most popular dress coat-- the most expensive colors are lavender, homo and_ violet minks--other furs are still in demand for everyday wear. "The persian lamb coat is a favorite item among most women," says Mr. Reller. "When buying persian lamb, make sure the coat is lightweight and that the curls on the coat are tight ones. A loosely-culred coat is not first quality, A black persian lamb should have a shiny appear- ance although grey coats are not quite so shiny. When choosing a grey coat, make sure it is a medium or dark shade. Light shades are infe- rior to darker ones." Many women like a mink fur collar on a persian lamb coat, It is important to deal with a reliable firm as there have been cases in which muskrats have been dyed and passed off as mink collars. STYLES CHANGING Styles have changed slightly from the loosely-fitted coat to the slightly-fitted bod- ice. Collars are smaller and hemlines range from 16 to 18 inches from the floor. "The length of dresses and skirts does not influence the length of a fur coat," ex- plains Mr. Reller. Sleeves are still long but can be cuffed to three-quarter length. '"'A tall woman should wear a mink coat in which the stripes move horizontally, whereas a short woman would look better in a verti- cally-striped coat. Tall women should lean more to- wards a bolero-styled jacket and heavy-busted women should wear regular stoles rather than capes which add fullness."" Never cover furs with plas- tic as they must breathe. Leave them completely open in a cool area of the house and don't store them in crowd- ed closets. In the summer, coats and jackets can be stored either in cedar closets at home or in a professional fur storage plant.

Wide elbow - length sleeves ripple out into a cape effect at the back --Photograph by the Fur Fashion Council of Canada By JEAN SHARP CP Women's Editor TORONTO (CP)--Amateur historians are house-hunting in Ontario, peering at roof an- -gles and the size of window panes. They are advance scouts in a project aimed at finding, recording and assessing every building built before 1855 that is still usable. Prof. William Goulding, who heads the project, says the date was chosen because it was a time of marked change. in building methods and styles. The searchers are looking for buildings done largely by local craftsmen in relatively isolated communi- ties. After 1855, railroads, popu- lation growth, the availability of standardized building materials and changing tastes gave Upper Canadian archi- tecture a new look. The project is financed by a grant from the provincial de- partment of tourism and in- formation to the University of Toronto school of architec- ture, where Prof. Goulding teaches. It will form part of a national inventory planned by the historic sites division of the federal department of northern affairs and national resources. USE VOLUNTEERS Amateurs were recruited for the early survey for sever- al reasons. Except for a gaso- line and photograph allow- ance, they work as unpaid volunteers, which keeps costs down Equally important ,they work in the counties in which they live, which means they have local knowledge and can help arouse local interest. That interest, Prof. Goulding says, is the first requirement can become involved. About 18 groups have been working in the province, most of. them local historical socie- ties. Prof. Goulding says he would be delighted to have more.

Mrs. Donald Steele , chairman of the league's committee, says they had their quota of about 16 volunteers for the project the first day they asked for them, and could have had more. START WITH LECTURES The volunteers were given three orientation lectures--on the architecture of the area and how to approach the work. Searchers begin by visiting at least two buildings known to have been built before 1855, to compare their fea- tures with the sketches they are given in a recognition guide. League committee member Mrs. Paul Matthews says she and her colleagues work in teams of two, one driving, one looking. Surest clues are windows, doors, roof angles, chimneys and the size of win- dow panes. Mrs. Matthews Says even when a house has been altered drastically, the back windows are often un- changed. originals Once the buildings are lo- cated, the next and most dif- ficult step is to try to es- tablish the dates they were built, and their original own- ers. Mrs. Matthews says they are rarely lucky enough to find a current owner who knows a building's history. Records are searched in li- braries, assessment offices and county registry offices.
