MUFFS OF CLOTH, SILK AND
SATIN.
But to return to the original theme,
which was not fur muffs. Velvet,
satin and cloth are the materials frorn
which the greater number are made,
and those of cdd shape and quaint
trimming are more and more numerous

young, slender girls, whose skins are
fresh enough to need no screen Of
.ulle, since wells are never worn with
this headgear. and whose hair falls
into natural bob curls about the brow.
