Pray don't cut out your muiTler, They are very smart, my dear.
 NEW YORK, Nov 1.-MufTle up little closer even if these are dog days, Indian summer and all that. If you could be foxy in a white fox neck piece. on the Fourth of July surely a little thing like a worstcd muffler can't put you out of the run hing now. Prostrated victims of the hottest day of the season seeking the solace of long cold draught pleas antly atinkle with cubes of ice in a smart hotel nearly swooned at the appearance of chic young happer in a Chinese tasseled hat swathed to the nose in a wide fringed worstcd muffler, red and white striped like an American flag. Since then though the heat abateth not muTlers in- creaseth nightly.
 Such hectic hued affairs they are too in glowing combinations of stripes and spots and spIashes while some are one color on one side and another color on the other Solid colored ones of bright purple are fringed in gold with a Gaaint gold embroidered monogram on one end. A temperamental famed toned one has the reverse side in ash grey and tigerish confection has black stripes on a tawny background.
 i There are all silk ones and fibre silk ones but the worsted ones have the real stamp of fashionable ap- prova and some of these in varigat- ed stripes of rainbow hue are decid- edly reminiscent, of Hi Ho!Ier. In- deed the old time farmer and rural character would seem never to have been without this mufTler as a first aid to chore doing. The maid today is quite as tenacious of hers on Fifth Avenue as first aid to heartbreak- ing.
 Much originality and artistry is shown in the arrangement of these telling throat attachments. One maid with willing coquetry knots hers under her left pink ear, the ingenue wears hers tied behind like a doting mother ties napkin around the neck of her offspring in lieu of bib forgot. Yet another wraps hers jealously close about her chin with just one long end given its freedom to float seductively behind her shape ly back. Oh, there is as much art required in adjusting your muffler as there is joy in the perfect attain ment.
 What with the hig engulfing col- lars, the all swathing mufflers and the all enveloping fur neck pieces 1 fear me chinning will become a lost pastime. For chins will be more than receding this season, they will be absolutely retired from public gaze. Alas, the poor swain who yearns to espouse damsel with the r weak chin and plastic temperament of the clinging vine may discover to his consternation after marriage when he first glimpses her chin unmuffled that she has the firm and stable jaw structure of the advanced feminist. This ought to be a most success full season for the lady with the triple chins. She is sure to own a collection of mufflers from A to z for she knows to her joy that two chins in muffler are as good as one in the open any day.
 It ought to offer wonderful Op- portunities for reduction also for rubber chin strap could be worn ef- ficaciously and unseen beneath the muffler and even the muffler on its own account ought to be able to m- duce a profuse enough precipitation these torrid days to reduce any known of unknown quantity of chins without any guttapercha aid.
 Whether you be chinny or chinn- less, however, you'd better muffle up in a muffler or you'll huff the hit of the season.
