FUR FOR THIS, FUR FOR THAT,
AND FOR YOUR POCKETBOOK, TOO

Or a black Persian lamb coat
with box pleats, of all things, in
the skirt?
Or ermine tails for earrings?
Most all-fur coats have a little
more collar and a little less Shout
der than they had last year.
Most of them have interesting
sleeves. One sleeve is made to be
pushed up, just like a sweater
sleeve.
Detached fur is the best new
idea as trimming for cloth coats.
Use II In Two Places
If your coat comes with a sep
arate Spanish shawl of beaver, it's
obvious the shawl will be end
lessly useful on its own account.
For a quaint look, adopt one of
those tiny little fur shoulder capes
and repeat the fur in muff or a
bag. The one rule for smartness
is to use fur in at least two
places on your costume.
If you wear a pompom pin in
your hat, stick another on your
purse. Or match up a fur neck
lace with a fur belt, or fur ear
rings with fur bows on your
shoes.
It's a great fur season, an invi-
tation to experiment in new ways
to gain the be-furred look.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1940-09-24

How will you have your fur
this year? In big or little doses?
At a price or a Price?
Would you care for an albino
mink coat at $4,000 (very rare)?
Or will you spend S1.95 for a
hatpin tipped with a great fur
pompom?
In any case, the be-furred look
is yours if you want it. And you
will want it if you aren't deaf to
style notes.
At the New York fashion open
ings, fur in its many new guises
just about stole the show.
1t isn't surprising to find that
fur coats in all price ranges are
both better looking and less ex-
penSive than ever before. The
trend has been in that direction
for some time, what with i'm
proved breeding and manufactur-
ing processes.
Wide Range Of Uses
What is surprising is the great
originality displayed in the sty-
ling of furS.
Whoever heard of a Sedate lit
tie cloth suit having cuffs of flam-
boyant red fox?
Whoever heard of big clumpy
sports shoes in leopard skin?
And how would you like a sill
yer fox head for handbag?

SAFETY RECORD
ASHER FRANK COMPLETES
SURVEY AND RELEASES
STATISTICS

TAMPA, Sept. "a FNS).-Com-
plotting the statewide safety sur
vey of bus operations in Florida,
Asher Frank, director of the
Florida Safety Council, had this
to say of the survey:
During the past Is months,
Florida buses have operated more
than 100000 miles, carried g.
100000 passengers, without one
passenger getting killed or a bus
driver charged with a fatality.
The survey reveals that four
drivers covered over 6,5O0,0OO
miles together, without one traf-
fic fatality, during a period of 20
years.
Bus drivers are given a thor
ough schooling: first, in the shop;
second, in bus operations; third,
in public relationship.
The bus operators invest about
100000 on every driver in his
preliminary training, and public
relationship and the creation of
good will is the biggest essential
of bus operations.
Buses are inspected when they
come in from trips and when they
60 out Bus drivers are not per-
mitted to operate their buses
more than eight hours. Their
home life is investigated: they
cannot operate buses unless they
are physically fit when they re-
port for duty.
