Ferber, Edna, 1885-1968

"Fanny Herself"

The manufacturers'
samples are spread on the tables in the various sections.
You'll find your place ready for you. You'll be amused at
Daly's section. He took your suggestion about trying the
blouses on live models instead of selecting them as he used
to. You remember you said that one could tell about the
lines and style of a dress merely by looking at it, but that
a blouse is just a limp rag until it's on."
"It's true of the flimsy Georgette things women want now.
They may be lovely in the box and hideously unbecoming when
worn. If Daly's going in for the higher grade stuff he
can't risk choosing unbecoming models."
"Wait till you see him!" smiled Fenger, "sitting there like
a sultan while the pinks and blues, and whites and plaids
parade before him." He turned to his desk again. "That's
all, Miss Brandeis. Thank you." Then, at a sudden thought.
"Do you know that all your suggestions have been human
suggestions? I mean they all have had to do with people.
Tell me, how do you happen to have learned so much about
what people feel and think, in such a short time?"
The thing that Clarence Heyl had said flashed through her
mind, and she was startled to find herself quoting it.
