MATCHED SCARS AND MUFF

From Paris Comes Idea for Set That Is Less Expensive Than One of Fur. Straight from Paris comes the idea of a matched set thqt Is less expensive than one entirely of fur, and yet from the points of utility arid beauty is equally successful. A broad band of blackband white striped velvet forms the body of the scarf. The central portion is cut to fit the shoulders with a cape-like perfection, and the ends taper to graceful points, from which hangs deep fringe. An inner band of black fur Is used to outline the entire stole/ which is possibly three yards long. This fur is applied just inside the.edge, and a quilling of satin or mousseline softens the outer .line. With this there comes a muff, large, supple and flat. Striped velvet forms the central band, on each side of which is the fur, and broader puffing of velvet makes the assurance of size doubly sure. Quillings outline the openings at the sides. Any idea can be carried out along these lines. Indeed, there is no excuse for old-fashioned sets being kept in camphorated inactivity. Bring them out and make them join forces with velvet or silk. The scarf and muff to match are too good to be missed!
