Some were made to walk into from behind,
some from in front and come from either side.
Their head-gear was simplicity itself-a feath-

and were at once inexpensive, unique and
fragrant. For outdoor exercise-such as foot
racing or swimming-we can cordially recon-
mend Just such suits as these ladies wore."
