Some of the chic clique are turning to other furs, running the range from badger to beaver, squirrel to seal, and including such far-out furs as pony, jaguar and zebra; best-dressed Mrs. William Paley passed up racks of floor-length mink coats last week to buy a simple little number in grey squirrel. Currently, the move is to sable. But if it is to be mink, then it must be cut rakishly enough or designed with sufficient casualness to insure its owner protection against being lumped with the common crowd at her heels.

...member of the musteline family (mink, marten, mongoose, badger, weasel, skunk), the otter is essentially "a big water weasel"-most northern breeds reach the size of a spaniel, but some in South America grow as big as a seal. He looks like a giant, furry snail. He swims as a swallow flies, all liquid grace. He runs like something squeezed out of a tube, and whenever he sits down he looks like a six-year-old girl in her mother's fur coat-in some species his hide is so loose that it hangs down in folds and even...
