"...About stepping up to a perfume counter and trying to pronounce the French names, she does it so badly, and she won’t get any help from the clerk behind the counter, as a rule. Of course they're difficult, if you don't know French, and the simpler the name is sometimes the trickier it is to pronounce. . . Take, for instance, Guerlain's new perfume, 'A Travers Champs,' which looks comparatively innocent and yet takes quite an art to snap off the tongue comprehensively. But is that preventing its sale? No siree! It's being eaten alive!"
