to The Argus

New York, Jan. 20.-Many women
are digging their hands into their
pocketbooks just now in order thai
they may be able to thrust Their
hands into attractive muffs later
this spring. The vogue for NUTS
is increasing daily and there is ev-
cry indication that they will be ex
tensively carried in conjunction
with suit costumes and fur neck
pieces in the spring. The lighter
brown furs are the ones being chos-
en-, as they promise to harmonic
best with the spring suits Many
of these suits will continue to be
fur trimmed with caracul and
broadtail in light shades. Fox,
marten, sable and mink are the
pelts most frequently chosen for
chokers.
Palm Beach, Fla, Jan. 20.-At
least one skirt of every Florida
wardrobe should be wide and full.
1t may be of flannel, linen, ging-
ham, crepe or other variety of ma
terial and may be short or long,
but it must be wide. Why? Be
cause no matter into what disuse
the bicycle has fallen elsewhere, ey.
erybody cycles in Florida. They
cycle to the beaches and on. the
beaches and the miles of beauti
full roads under the palms are dot
ted with riders, some of whom have
not grasped handle-bar since 1895.
In spite of the popularity of the
knickerbockers, it hasn't threaten
ed the vogue of the wide skirt for
cycling.
Paris, Jan. 2O.-The days when a
pair of black satin evening slip
pers were appropriate with nearly
any evening frock have passed in
Paris. The black frocks so COM
mon last year have given way to
brilliant colors and the evening
shoes usually match the frock. If
they are not of the same material
they are of multi-colored brocades
and consist merely of vamp and
back held together by the sole and
an arrangement of straps over the
foot. If the slipper is of black
it usually is deliberately trimmed
with buttons or buckles Of rhine
Stanes or marcassite or is elabor-
ately embroidered in colors. One
such pair is covered with a floral
spray in Point de Beauvais, a
chain embroidery in blue, rose, vel
low and green.
New York, Jan. 20.-Sun or rain
makes no difference in utility of the
parasols now being carried in Flor
ida and which will be in style in
the north next spring. They are
equally gaudy and equally useful
in bright or stormy weather, for
it now is possible to rubberiZe al
most any fabric The fabrics en-
ployed are legion for in many in
stances the parasols match the
frocks. If a simple bingham is
worn, the parasol corresponds. Ro-
popular and even paisley
designs are seen. The long, fragile
parasol of other days has passed.
however. and the present models
are short and stubby with a short
handle and wrist strap.
New York, Jan. 20.-Like the
wound of Mercutio, chronicled in
Romeo and Juliet, the latest sport
skirt is not as wide as a church
door. but twill serve" to permit
any stance known to golfer or ten
mis- sport. The skirt is made of
light wool materials with a wide
overlapping panel in front. Three
glass buttons at the waistline form
the only fastening so that the panel
permits the skirt to spread to any
width the stride of the wearer
demands. The weight of the mate
rial insures that the skirt will re-
sumo its straight, close lines as the
wearer ceases to. move.
