checks Of solid color, such as gobelin-!
blue and white, or black and gold, are]
also exempt from necessarily employ-]

with gray or gobelin-blue. sSa
The striped zephyr skirts and,
striped ginghams, which appear inI

shows about one-third 'ot It's length on
the sides, is plated in horizontal,
stripes for tall, slender figures, and
lengthwise for those who are short and

generally made up on the bias, with,
stralght-striped vest and cuffs.
