The saleslady and the customer are discovered in conversation while the beautiful model parades before them draped in the skins of the wild and the worse-than-wild. “I SHOULD like to see some of the Scotch moles.” “The moles are not good class this year, believe me, Madame ; I gave away a moleskin muff I had myself last week. They're terribly passé. “Why, some of them are five hun- dred a set!” “Yes, and they don’t wear a month till they get looking awful ratty—it's all the sables this year.” “The pointed fox are rather pretty, 1 think.” “Yes—but the points fall off some- how on the dead skin.

Give me something with some flare to it when it comes to furs. Fox or wolf? Posi- tively we don’t carry them. We had a lot on our hands and we sold them to a costumer on Third Avenue.
