Muflers for Youngsters.

There is no reason to give all the
credit of this fetching little costume
to the red set. daring as it is: the
coat is good enough in its way to
suggest a desire to copy it in the mind
of the mother who is now searching
for clever new things to keep her
small girl warm through what may be
a cold winter.
1t is made of gray cloth heavy, with
a silk nap. and the fine tucks at the
neck. hold the fullness in across the
chest. The sleeves are cut after the
cloth leaves the arms and they end in
, broad stitched cuffs. The muff1er is
the new touch. 1t presents an ar
rangement for neck line that is un-
usual. 1t is made of the cloth, un-
adorned except by stitching at the
ends, and lined with red.
