NOTE FOR THE HIDEBOUND
South of the Arctic Circle, furs
are strictly speaking, never neces
sity. The very trappers and luni
beriacks of the Canadian forests do
not themselves wear furs—they
w*. ar warm woolens, with sometimes
a sheepskin jacket. In the temoi
ate climate of almost all of the
United States,we well know that oni
on t door workmen of all kinds—men
in the building and other trades,
those engaged in street—and track
repairwork, as well as truck drivers,
mail carriers, traffic policemen, and
others constantly exposed to the
weather—never think of such a
thing as wearing furs. It is left foi
our protected and well-to-do women,
living in furnace-heated houses,
to wear fur coats when in winter
time they venture forth in heated
ch's to shop in heated stores.—Lucy
Furman in The Atlantic Monthly,
February, 1928.
