Furs, Frocks and Food. Furs are a quite good case point, because furs are so essen- tally feminine.

Actually all the average' woman knows about furs is that they are amazingly becoming, and that they lend charm and attraction to the plainest face ever given to a woman. The woman who wants to buy furs wisely goes to a masculine expert.
