COMBINES SCARF AND MUFF
Novel Idea That Has Many Good
Points Fashionables Have Been
Quick to See.

A novel combination of scarf and
muff is made of bands of chiffon, quill
ings 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 buckles.
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 shoulder
scarf But when the weather Is cold
and the hands of the owner need the
comfortable warmth of muff, it Is
there for the hooking. The lower ends
are doubled up and hooked under the
upper buckles. A fringed muff is the
result The combination Is clever and
pleasing.

FloWered Silks.

One of the old-time revivals in fab
RIGS is the white or gray pompadour
silk with immense bouquets of flow
ers sprinkled over the surface. These
are often joined by floating ends Of
Natter blue ribbon.
The material makes into quaint din
ner frocks and gowns for elaborate
afternoon affairs when one receives
or pours tea.
The fashions of that time can be
followed in making this gown: rath-
er full skirt opened in front over a
panel, edged with lace or embroidery,
pointed basque, folded drapery
around the hips and deep, shallow,
square neck edged with frill of lace.
If one wears hat with such
gown it should be broad -brimmed and
