A fur coat's like a husband.
There's just one test for a. fur cost
-—only one. How does it wear? '
Even so with a. husband.
Mrs. Henrietta Stein is one of the
best-known fin-tiers in the country. 1
Few men equal her. As a judge of
furs, she isn't surpassed. She's been
in the business 26 years, having start-

was to ask her. to fell women how to
select furs after the holiday sales.
You OCI’I Tell.
Nobody can judge a fur. she says.
by looking at a completed garment.
“And only an expert can tell." she
added, "by looking inside. For that
reason I advise women to go to irelia-
ble dealers not to look for cheap coats;
“If the pelts are good. the work-

there. a fur must command a certain

less, there must be something wrong.
