FOR WOMEN MOTORISTS
     Milady wears fur garments-or, at least, must have them fur-trimmed-when
she motoring goes.
     Heavy, soft cloth in a variety of colors in used extensively, but the
wraps must have deep fur collars and cuffs.
     Ocelot and raccoon are two of the popular furs now being used on the
long, full-skirted outer garments.
     For exceedingly cold weather, fur hats are used and fur hat trimming is
demanded with fur garments.
