The prediction was made that muffs were not going to be much worn this winter. Jumping at con- clusions, one might have supposed that the fact that muffs were not so | popular last winter as they were the winter before was reason to believe that they were not going to be worn | much, if any, this winter.

And business men are realizing |the fact that if they seat their visi- | tors in comfortable chairs they are actually more apt to come to pleasant business terms with them. In the adjusting department of one of the large department stores it is especi- ally arranged that the one who has al complaint or grievance to explain is seated in a luxuriously comfortable chair at the side of the man to whom the makes the complaint.
