The Bride's Muff, a Popular Variation from the Staodard Type of Bouquet. 



stuffed muff your grandmother carried, 

 but the big, soft, luxurious affair your 

 daughter has just packed away in moth 

 balls. Both ends have a frill or ruffle 

 all the way around, and the chiffon 

 must neither be drawn tighty nor show 

 edges anywhere. 



The showers are easy. Tie butterfly 

 bows at the end of the ribbon and tack 

 the bows to the muff with a few good, 

 deep stitches, which at the same time 

 fastens the thicknesses of the muff 



firmly together. Tie in your valley or 

 sweet peas and adiantum just as you 

 would in a shower bouquet. 



A point that will require attention is 

 the color of the muff. It may be almost 

 anything the bride pleases — usually 

 white, light pink or delicate blue, but 

 there are the makings of trouble here 

 unless you have an understanding at 

 the start. 



The muff -illustrated was made by A. 

 Lange, Chicago. 



North Adams, Mass. — C. Quadland & 

 Sons secured a vacant store on Eagle

Salida, Colo. — Mrs. J. Chaney is 

 starting in the greenhouse business 

 here. Her houses are in course of 

 erection. 



Toronto, Ont. — W. E. MacKay has 

 disposed of his greenhouse establish- 

 ment on Dundas street and has not 

 vet decided on a new location.
