Muffs are of many sizes and shapes and made of a wide range of furs. It is going to mark you as a woman "In the know" if you add a muff and fur bnt to your wool dress or suit. long.) before there is much danger of your actually needing to keep your hands Įwarin.
In presenting a series of stunning crocheted wool hats with muffs to match, Sally Victor recently intro- duced looped yarns of woul to give charneter to these crocheted turban ensembles. The emphasis of a clear light gray makes them look very new new accent to and significant as a wenr with binck or coloured cos- tumes, or else to tone in with deeper gray shades.
Tho colour nituation is sized up dearly-with the gray and beaver shades representing the neutrals that go so well with fur jackets and coats, and vivid colour for the alternative, with bright green and cherry red ani emphasized combination; for novelty a strong pantel blue that is between turquoise and robin's egg in strik- ing.

"Of course I go." I replied. It is the problem of half the worth in the world after they have reached their forlleth birthday. What you want is a nice well cut coat in a deep colour-not ne- cessarily black, but specially designed to give you height and to bring your figure into a goud balanced line.
A soft collar of fur also helps the shoulders and upper part.
You see by the sketches what I recommend. The coat is made in good quality fancy velour cloth with a straight looking back and a good wrap-over in front.
It is ined throughout with artificial silk and the sleeves have nice shaping at the cuff, Dark Brown Fur
The collar of skunk opossum you know the fur, is very ke skunk-a lee dark brown shade) can be worn open or wrapped over close to the throat to form a becking frame for the face. Very cosy and fashionable as well.
The colours are nigger, navy, bottle, wine and It black. Wine is very fashionable this year. suits grey and dark-haired women excellently, Brown and grech suit fair and dark women, but are a little cold with grey hair. I find navy and black are becoming to all.

Members of the A.T.S. are agitating to be supplied by the War Office with greatcoats.
They complain that many of them are suffering from bad colds anul preumonia and that they need the coals to prevent further iness.
The War Omee, however, say that the girls are given fleece-ined rain- couts and that greateosis "nze" not part of the Issue.
Some of the girls have had rain- coats, but not fleece-lined because there was a shortage of these linings.
The War Oflice say the health of the A.T.S. is everywhere reported as exceptionally, good and that they ave no reports of any such cases of illness.
There is nothing like a glamorous perfume for giving a lift and making you more attractive. Choose sveria suited to your personality or your sisis of dress, and spray on enough to leave 'n'subito fragrance.
