The muff lers nnd scarves are so fascinating this season I'll be bound you Just can't help but bo all wrapped up in 'cm. They are mado of every material from chiffon to velvet nnd duvotyn and In every color but all and every ono have one feature In common they are inevitably touched up with yarn nnd worsted embroidery. Whether they aro lavishly ornament ed and embellished with worsted fruits, flowers or simply edged around with a button hole stitch of beetle yarn, Is a mere matter of tasto. Some are finished at. the ends with a fringe or tansells of yarn nnd some boast little bobbing pompoms of the worsted. One cunning model with a little close het to match Is of purple duve tyn lined with cerise chiffon. It Is buttoned holed around Its edges with three littlo ceriso pompoms like cher r: r, dangling from greou yam stems. The littlo hat which is put together with cerise yarn fagotting has an ndornblo hunch of the yarn pompom cherries perched pbjuantly on top. Worn In jiixtlpiisltion to a pair of cherry lips this fetching muffler and lint should lie fruitful of great poss ibilities. When a skating bai of the purple duvetyn finished at tho bot tom with a replica of the hat and muffler cherries accompanied this set for a turn on a congealed surface surely he would be n poor skate In deed who would not find Intoxicating 1 the taking of a cherry bounce over the lee. Most gorgeous and ronilnosrent of Venetian and Florentine medieval splendors are the velvet mufflers enibroiuered with yarn and gilt threads banded In paloon and en crusted with beads. Klther odd tur bans nnd hats or ornate baps In like motives as the mufflers go with thenr for all the mufflers seem to have an aversion to traveling alone nnd In sist on a hat or a bug companion piece. Tho chiffon mufflers made of three thicknesses of different colored fc.iue are caught at the edges with a button boleing of worsted and often haie a quaint little nesegay of yarn flowers to fasten them smicly to a smart shoulder. The more barbaric and primitive tho color combination of these chiffon conceits the more dashing. l'or pale pink personalities, bow ever, and pastel tinted blondes these scarves developed In three shades of green, graduations of rose, pink nnd flesh or purple, lavender and wis teria are lovely. Malo mufflers offer fascinations almost as manifold us the femlulno scarves. The Imported knitted silk ones In smart combinations of black and white or black and grey or in ex quisitely combined colored Roman Stripe effects are irrlsistable. They are wide and yet so fluffy and soft that thoy crush up to almost nothing, weigh like thistle down and yet keep the most cold blooded masculine as warm as toast. Tho really finest ones come from Switzerland and are mado by a Becret process that up-to-date no other muffler producing na tion can ferret out or reproduce. Tho iuade-In-Anierica knitted silk ones In regimental colors though not as fine and light as the Imported ones aro most attractive. For evening wear both the im ported and domestic brands in white, pearl grey or white and grey with a hair line of black nro stunning with a Bmnrt monogram on one end. More bulky but Biiug and comfy aro those mufflers of angora and other wools. In dull greys, tans and blues with borders of gay colored stripes they are most practablo and serviceable But the dashing boy in khaki Sammies, Jackles all agree The best of nil the mufflers That this season e're will see Aro ones that knitting mothers, Sisters, wives and sweethearts true Are fashioning from worsted Khaki, grey, and navy blue; For though they look Just knitted wool ' Each fighting laddio knows ' They're made of woven heart aches, Each burning tear that flows Makes there a purl within a purl, With bravo smiles sifted through And every stitch just full of lovo, And hope and longing, too. . What Hoover's Aid Says to Farmers "The Food Administration and tho Department of Agriculture want pro duction of foodstuffs in this country increased, hut they perceive that this cannot be done if prices for the pro ducer are to be cut to pieces. They understand that if the farmer finds his prices demoralized and his calcu lations entirely overturned ho will have no encouragement to increase production. The Food Administration officials must plan to meet conditions not only in If 18 but in 1919, and even longer, so as to insure safety and sta bility during the war and after peace is restored as well.'

Adv. mail HEELS "GETS THE HOOK" Alas, tho fateful news arrives from Paris that tho doom of that 'most priceless possession of women for decades the high heel 'Is at hand. ! Just what members of the fair eei will do when they can no ; longer trip from a rr step hecauvi of a four-Inch heel, or niir.clngly skip along the street so a laan has to hold his foot poised In air' to keep step with her, will becomo a pornlelng problem.
