The housewives manner is to

There is one thing, however, that
we can all learn, and that is how
long each type Of fur will last
what we can expect of it. People
in all good stores will tell you, and
If you prefer a fur that is short
lived. then it is your own lookout,
and not the fault Of the furrier.
II you can afford several coats,
then there's really not much rea
son for worrying about the life
of your furs. But if you can have
only one coat, then you should be
most careful to get a sturdy fur
that will look well as long as the
coat is worn. And that doesn't
mean that it can't be beautiful
and luxurious looking. Further
more, it is not folly to buy expen-
sive furs, for they can be made
over, whereas a cheap, short-lived
fur is gone, once it is worn out.
A Few Suggestions
