Seldom are the old-fsshioned round
muffs seen now-a-dsys, and II o1s does

Muffs of this kind are obIaus and

of fur and not sign Of stinenine.
Squirrel muffs are very pretty made up
after this style, but then one cannot re-
strict the pretty effects to one or even

woman? Some time ago an edict against
its use was passed, but since there has
appeared no very satisfactory suosti-
tute and because it seems to exactly ex-
nress ones meaning, the word still ns-
ures in the language OF few. from
England we learn that "clever" Is Of
fered in place of the much used word.
As one woman In writing to friend
expresses it, clever is now considered
the smart word
A Matter of Expression.
Tbere is something lacking in clever
It doesn't quite fill the bill according
to our ideas, and yet We hesitate to
adopt the phrase approved oy the
school girls. When they think gown

breath away to hear them using the ex'
preston but it doesn't sound so very
bad and then 1t Is far more expressive
than clever.
