At Their Best. ,

AT times in its long history the
muff has been a ridiculous bit OF
foolishness. But at its best. artis-
tically. it has been a really beauti-
full thing. The whole skin mum, for
instance, like the whole skin shout
der scarf. gives the furrier a chance
70 show the most beautiful skins in
their most natural form. Even the
Innings, nowadays. are soft and sup
pie. detracting as little as possible
from the shape of the skin. The
finest crepes are used. and they are
sewed in so that they do not show
from the top OF the skin. There are
no more red satin ruffies protruding
from the ends OF ermine nuns. for
tunately. The softest crepe in
neutral shade. or exactly the shade
/ OF the fur Is used for lining.
AS for interlinings, necessary for
warmth. they too are soft and sup
Pile never depending for their
warmth on stiffness or bulk ness.
The whole point is to keep the real
beauty OF the fur intact
To be sure. there are some highly
decorative NUTS wherein this object
IS not pursued. They are trimmed
with chenille tassels and fringes
with ostrich feather. with cords AID
buttons of fur.
But the really most beautiful
nuns are the simplest ones. like
those whole skins that are a fad al
the moment.

Du Maurier--when women wore
bustles and tight stays and walked

Ing fur capes and wraps OF generous

the necessity for wartime economy
made the temporary passing OF
muffs desirable. Muffs were one OF
those not entirely necessary Access
sories that women gave up az a
matter of course. Moreover women
carried bundles as matter OF
patriotism and you can't con-
conveniently carry big parcel and
keep your hands In a muff at the

wool lined gloves instead or wore

Making the Small
Bows Suit

r. ERE is an idea for the making
of the little boys suits.
Remember that you can get
such things as embroidered anchors
and other devices Of the smart sailor
suit. eyelet holes for lacings. and
buttonholes worked for you at a
trimming shop where such things are
done. Sometimes the woman not
skillful in these particular kinds of
trimming hesitates about making
suits for her little son Just because
OF this fact. She can sew the small
seams quite neatly; she can cut and
fit and make the little suits as skill
fully as those she could buy are
made. but she can't do those tech
meal bits of finishing.
Here is another thing to remem-
Der. Shrink all material before YOU
cut it. Little cotton and linen suits
shrink so astoundingly in the course
of their first laundering. II they have
| not been shrunk, that the little trou-
BILE and delay in attending to this are
worth while.
Another thing. Never plan &c
make small boys suit OF very fra
gile material. Stout material wears
so much better. IL you make q
smock of thin crepe, at least make
the trousers of heavy crepe. Witt
the thin pongee smock there shouls
be heavy pongee suiting trousers
And for many small boys. who ar
active and cannot remainder to b.

There are lots of slip-on muslin
blouses that are worn outside the

fashion may be, American women
always demand the washable blouse

About Potatoes

Al this time OF year. when new
potatoes are an expensive treat.
when old potatoes are soggy ant
heavy, and when sweet potatoes are
moist and somewhat tasteless. twice
ooked potatoes are best The dou-

which are not TO be found in the
once cooked potato.

Fashion Notes

White capes are perhaps especially
good to choose for wear N the South
OF course. as the new frocks are
made, each has its own cape or coat.
But women who must look for pos
sible ways of economy will probably
make use OF the white knitted capes
next summer. TO wear with several

AS to Newspaper
Announcements


M munications to newspapers for
ASA publication. Well, this is per-
mlssible, but far safer is II to write
them. In the first place, the person
best able TO take the message may
not be in, and an Office boy utterly
unfamiliar with the names of the
persons concerned may garble your
notice beautifully in taking II down.
And then YOU viii blame the editors
if the paper says that your daughter
c engaged TO Mr.. 10. Mcpherson
instead Of TO Mr.. Joseph Pierson, and
that they are to be married in the
barroom of your Fifth avenue home

Some women hesitate at giving the

OF course. the reason for their be-

are going South. Those OF us who
remain in the cooler places just Gloat

making some thin summer frocks at

Anyway. never, really. were there
so many fabrics In the shops TO
tempt us.
For one thing there is a whole
group OF thin fabrics called tissues
which are neither wolfe nor batiste.
but some lovely sheer. cotton fabric
that is capable Of manipulating IN
the most graceful manner. One
doesn't wonder, after seeing these
tissues, that in some places in the
Orient In ancient times cotton was
considered a lovelier thing than linen
These tissues come in stripes and
checks and plaids and plain surfaces.
There are some with silky stripe In
them. A good many show little
gray in their figuring.
Then there are silk ginghams
There are cotton voiles. There are
cotton crepes. some OF them 'ern-
broidered in a spidery design In
bright colors. There is n fabric like
Jersey on one side. and on the out
side like a short-knapped mercerizet
velvet.
There are lovely colored linens II

Tho fur-cuffed sleeve that has
done so much in our present-day
coats TO make muffs unnecessary.
was OF course the forerunner OF that
accessory. Medieval sleeves ot
surnptuous beauty were edged. even
lined, with fur. They were long and
provided adequate warmth for the

for muffs that had nothing 70 do

Then somebody thought Of a

Brilliant somebody, For then and
there was born the idea for the mum,
the muff that through succeeding
generations has been used not for

When Catherine de AIedici went
from Italy 10 France she took the
fashion OF muffs with her. One
sometimes wonders II there is any
fashion that lovely and willy lady
is not responsible for taking into
} France. II was. doubtless. largely
. due to her that the fashion center
of the world shifted north over the
Alps from Italy TO France.

Men Once Wore Them.

Now in its early days the muir
was as much a masculine detail OF
fashion as il was a feminine one.
Courtiers carried their nuffs hung
on a jeweled chain about their
necks. so that they would not inter-
fere with the use OF the hands.
Another thing. Muffs in those
days were not all made OF fur.
Sometimes heavy pile fabrics. like
plush. were used for their making,
and the result was something beau
tifufas we'll as soft and warm.
The ladies OF the court Of Marie
Antoinette were much given TO
mufs. Like all other articles OF ap-
parel they were OF gorgeous con-
struction in those gay days, and OF
real beauty and great warmth as
well.
