WELL-DRESSED WOMEN TURN TO OLD-FASHIONED MUFFS

Only They Differ From the Kind Grandmothers Carried —They Are Small and Coquettish Stores Here Report Many Orders.

By Dorothy Stephenson The muff Is coming back. Indianapolis women have been seen walking through the downtown streets with their hands tucked away in muffs of seal or mink. Perhaps it is because the woman of fashion found such comfort in warm ankles protected with the galosh that she is returning to the oldfashioned muff to hide her hands from Jack Frost. Anyway, downtown fur stores report that they are receiving many orders for muffs. But the new muff is not the cumbersome horse blanket pattern of our grandmothers’ day. They are small and rather coquetish. They are carried by stylish women who wear trim coats and Jaunty hats. Those in Indianapolis measure fifteen to seventeen inches around. The muff has been especially popular with the co-eds at eastern football games where the air is brisk and penetrating. Young misses In smart mink coats of straight lines look distinctly smart carrying tiny melon-shaped mink muffs. After all, the muff may not prove to be only popular wtih the old-fash-ioned woman or the child, but It may soon be transformed from the heirloom to the air protector. Milady always prefers warm hands to cold ones.

The WOMAN’S DAY

By All eon Omima- ■ 1 1 Ever and anon the subject of taxes on bachelorhood comes up. It sounds funny, almost preposterous to us. But In ancient days, certain nations made celibacy a crime. The Persians held that the childless man could never enter Paradise. The modem argument Is, of course, that since the economic burden of the childless man does not equal that of the father of a household, the bachelor should be taxed in excess, relieving the taxation of the pater famlllaa. Now wouldn’t that be nice? Mike No-Account could enrich the world with seventeen or eighteen little Mike No-Accounts, send them to school supported by the bachelor’s tax, take them out riding on roads supported by the bachelor’s tax, and, all In all, have things so well that he might have twenty-seven little Mikes. Meanwhile, the bachelor with abilities meaning fully as much to the world as those of Little-Mlke-pro-ducing, must devote his time and energy to groveling that he oould support’ the little No-Aocounts. After all, there's no law compelling anyone not to be a bachelor, if he thinks the latter have It easy? The Government openly brags that It offers no position which Is not open to men and women. Then It announces that the highest salary paid any woman In Government employ Is $65,000 year. It does not contrast that figure with the highest salary paid any man. Maybe It’s not so proud of that. Then, again, maybo It's not smart enough to be ashamed of the statement, I’m ashamed for It. Here are some women with the only job of the kind In the world. Martha Farm, only women In the world who Is an elephant lifter. She !g billed as the world’s strongest woman. Edith Badgley is the only professional Jockey. Helen Vernet of England, Is the only woman bookmaker (that does not mean that she makes books). Mrs. Laura Gardln Fraser Is the only woman who designs coins. Miss M. Irvine Is the only woman tea taster In England. Gladys Roy Is America's only girl aerial traffio cop. And I’ll bet there isn’t a happy housewife, who Is the only one In that field with the exception of som© hundred million others, who would trade Jobs with any of these Only Onlles! The boys will be wearing highheeled shoes next spring, and the girls will wear shoes made of hair calf, which Is calf skin with the hair unremoved. The new shades of alligator, liaard and ostrich skins will be known as "Spanish raisin” and "melon.” All of which la of extreme Interest to those of us who win hunt up the old oxfords to wear to the pasture where the violets grow like purple pansies. The day’s news tens of a mother who sacrificed six ounces of her blood in a transfusion for her haby girl. Strange that the busy press should even consider this news. A mother who wouldn’t consent to a blood transfusion for her child would be much greater news, and the world a sorry place Indeed on the day that such news Is found! Queen Mary, they say, la more at home in York Cottage, Sandringham, where Rhe lived with her large family in simple state long before King George was king, hut was only the Duke of York. The neighborhood calls the queen “the squire's wife,” they say, and loves to give teas for her. Whenever the queen is Invited to these tens she sends a messenger out for news about these women—whether their husbands have work or not, whether there are any new babies, the high price of tea, an# all tidbits she can accumulate that will keep the conversational ball rolling. When a queen whose mere presence would prohsblv delight her tea companions enough, can so bestir herself, there is little excuee for lesser tights to sit like dumbells at a tea party!

Dec. 17.—Though the evening gowns of this season are lovely Indeed, they are not more colorful and more Intriguing than those for day.

Tle flullness of the skirt is concentrated In front. vivaJ of Interest In black, and every dispatch from Paris strengthens Its growing supremacy, there Is still a great Interest In the deep autumnal colors so appropriate this season of the year. The silhouette for day Is pract'cally that for evening except that it Is a little shorter, and a lltle stralghter. The bloused effect is less In evidence for sport wear and for day dresses than It is for evening, though Its Influence Is growing, and there Is less tendency toward side draperies, and elaborate hemlines. The waistline is usually Indicated at the top of the hips, although occasionally the normal waistline Is suggested, as well as in the very attractive model photographed today, which combines crepe In two shades

So decorative is the material that no trimming is employed at the back of the blouse and a tie of the velvet at the right shoulder. The fullness of the skirt is concentrated in front and held In place by small groups of tucks. There is a frosty sheen to the material shat is very lovely, and a comfortable
