TThls being so, it is not a little apropos to mention the fascinat ing muffs Jack FroFt Is bringing with him. The fad for the large floral muff is the moment's vogue. One recently displayed and greatly admired In Omaha was made of large velvet fansles In shaded tones of light and dark purple. These were literally massed together in the fashionable barrel shape and edged with accordian pleated frills. This muff sets off the one-piece sull roost effectively and is an appealing style to the aesthetic dresser. Others are using the plain satin and velvet, muchly tufted, shirred or otherwise trimmed In self material and having a border of flowers or a possible cluster of them appearing In one corner. But flowers somewhere must be used. Christmas Visitors Mrs. Charts F. Hoffert of Ft. Josoph Mo., haa arrived to spend the Christmas koltdaya with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H- Schmidt.
