Scarf and Muff.
A novel combination of scarf and
| muff is made of bands of chiffon,
| quillings of satin and strips of fur.
! 1t wraps the body in shawl fashion,
and just at the waist line the width
is gathered in under two long buck
| les.
From this point two long ends fall
almost to the hem of a skirt. Buckles
hold in the lower edges of each side
and heavy fringe hangs from these.
Thus far this is beautiful shoul'
der scarf. But when the weather i:
cold and the hands of the owner need
the comfortable warmth of a muff, i
is there for the hooking. The lowel
ends are doubled up and hooped un
der the upper buckles. A fringe muf
is the result. The combination il
clever and pleasing.

One OF the nineteenth century S
greatest hoaxes was discovery
that the man in the moon. animals
and other forms of life were seen with
a powerful telescope.
Richard Locke. New York news
paper faker, in 1885 wrote an account
Of how Sir John Herschel, the great
British scientist and astronomer, had
invented an apparatus by which the
magnifying power of telescope could
be sufficiently increased to detect OBJ
jects in the moon.
Sir John had been sent 10 the Cape
of Good Hope at the expense or the
English. French and Austrian govern
ments to make astronomical obscrva-
tions. and the fact that he was there
was generally known when the New
York Sun printed what purported to
be a genuine news story of his wonder
ful achievement.
On the night OF Jan. 10. 1885, the
story ran, the telescope with It's mag
nifying appliance was ready TO be en-
ployed upon the moon. The first thlng

A wonderful star appeared in the sky
In the early dawn sublime.
And the watchful shepherds soon per-
ceived
They followed it's guiding all the way
And the night for them was turned
TO day.
Did the Christ star shine that night
But over a crib I'm humble shed.
stood the glorious ball OF light
For material wealth Christ valued not.
But the souls OF men lie loved and
sought.
A wonderful Child lay calmly there
Whose name was the Prince OF Peace
And the faithful shepherds understood
That HIS reign would never cease;
SO they all beheld with love and awe
The King OF kings on His couch Of
straw.
And still as the centuries fade away
The same star guides us to His
shrine,
And we. too should bring our hearts
best love,
To Soul that is all divine;
For the gift OF ourselves Christ loves
And a child-like heart is His perfect
test.
But II we. like the shepherds. love the
Christ
We must have good Will 10 men.
For this is the message the angels sent
To the world from Bethlehem;
And the Christmas star and angels
