Fur Designer Gives Advice For Women
By ELIZABETH TGOMEY
United Press Correspondent
New York U.R) Youre
Ju5t an old-fashioned girl if you
still daydream of drifting around
in cold weather smothered in
luxury furs.
This assurance comes not from
a husbands' protective league but
from a woman whose honesty
can scarcely be doubted, since it
is her business to sell luxury
furs to rich people.
She is as anxious to keep wom
en from wearing too much fur
as she is for them to wear any
fur at all.
"No woman said Mrs. Anna
Maximilian Potok. "should look
smothered in furs."
She wouldn't feel smothered
either, the fur industry in gen
eral decided in recent years. The
light touch, both on the scales
and in the design, is one of the
most important features of cur
rent fur styles.
Common Sense Approach
Mrs. Potok discussed her com
mon sense approach to uncom
mon purchases such as chinchilla
capes while women tried on furs
in her carpeted show room.
"I am very short myself," she
said. "I wear only a full length
fur coat or a very short jacket.
I never wear anything three
quarter length."
She says flatly "no" to a cus
tomer if she thinks the woman is
about to buy a fur that looks too
big on her. She calmly orders a ed little since she and her broth-

New Chairmen

For Red Cross
Newly appointed chairmen
were announced at a meeting of
the heads of volunteer services,
Jackson county chapter of the
American Red Cross, held Tues
day at the summer home of Mrs.

river.
The new chairmen are Mrs. C.

in Paris nearly 31 years ago.
Both had learned the fur busi
ness from their father and grand
father in Warsaw, Poland.
Can Be Colored
"Furs shouldn't be bulky and
shouldn't be old looking," she
said.
They can be colored, however,
which is one of the few new ad
ditions to Mrs. Potok's ideas of
durable elegance. She now
makes coats in red or blue or
beige Persian lamb.
"I start from scratch," she ex
plained in her accented English,
describing the part she played in
creating a fur coat. That means
designing the first pattern in
canvas.
Her working day, longer and
more strenuous than that of
most women in far less luxuri
ous surroundings, often includes
telephone orders for mink coats
from customers who talk about
adding to their "wardrobes" of
furs.
These are the women ;who can
afford to pioneer the latest Paris
styles. Asked if she envisioned
any important new fur styles,
tested first by her customers,
Mrs. Potok cautiously murmured
"capes."
"I am making many capes of
all lengths," she said. It is too
soon to predict, she added,
whether capes will replace fur
stoles in the Christmas wishes of
many women.
