A Great Vogue
for
Hudson Seal
dyed Muskrdt)

Young women as well as ma
irons admire this soft, lustrous
fur, and it is quite as fashionable
for young women as for matrons.
One reason for this is because the
furriers have adapted so many
fashions when making up the
Hudson seal neckpieces and muffs.
There are numbers of new
scarfs and stoles and neckpieces.
One may have a simple little cape
scarf (and it is not so little,
either) with silk ends, at $50, or
pay $500 for beauty that is quite
large and may be worn any one of
three fashionable ways.
One of the handsome pieces is
a long, straight stole, with pock-
ets-it is $135.
And there are muffs to match
all the neckpieces at many prices
from $18 to $50.

WOrkmen or wOrkwOmen love the work

They also serve their employers best when with
beautiful manners they show the goods to the

Sometimes an employe has been known to
drop customer who was known to be seeking
small article for another customer whom the

neglect a customer who said 81 do not wish to

of performance of duty. A locker never forgets
that lack of attention, and she speaks of it to
her friends and sometimes to one of the

But the opposite is also true-that real
