gied from under some OF the fur boas and
were all clustered together under the chin,

in great fuzzy heap. That IS ultra
swell,
The muffs that accompanied these collar
arrangements were Of the immense
"grandsnother' variety and had rutilcs OF
fur around their hand hoos. lined with
bright brocadcd silks and sat.ns.
