How to Veneer Fashionably,

“There will be snow soon,” said a bounder, “and when It comes I*ll hlro a sleigh and a set of furs, and take my best girl out, dazzling her. You didn’t know, I guess, that you can hire furs, did you? Well, you can, and crack ajacks, too. Big sealskin caps with eartabs, fur gloves up to your armpits, fur collars up to your forehead—there ar® half a dozen pawnbrokers in this town that’ll fit you out with all those things for an afternoon, and the price is only a bone. You put them on, and as you spin along the park drive you say to your girl: ‘I got these glotes in Manitoba—a gift from my friend, the Mayor □f Dog Gulch. I speared myself the seal my cap is made from, and Senator Pltcoe gave me the collar—Pltcoe, of Wyoming—perhaps you know him.’ The girl looks at you. You resemble an Eskimo. She counts the cost of the furs, and decides it is a young millionaire she’s up against. After that she’s yours.”—Philadelphia Record.
