GOOD NEWS, MUFFY: ASCOTS COMING BACK IN STYLE

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- Men who want to look fashionable may want to watch "Scooby Doo" -- and pay particular attention to the "Freddie" character. According to the National Association of Men's Sportswear Buyers, ascots like the ones sported by Freddie will be what stylish guys will be wearing this Fall. Spokesman Jack Herschlag also says the current craze for ties triggered by Regis Philbin's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" duds is opening up the door for ascots and other dandy-ish forms of neckwear. Also expected to be hot this Fall will be big billowing capes like those worn by old-time Parisian cops and ponchos like those worn by Mexican peasants.
