Fashion Hint
By MELLIFICIA. Wdenesday, December 23, 1914.
HE calendar tells us that thene are the very first days of winter.
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.
