The tailored blouse should not be con-
fused with the shirts for sporting events.
Here the first aim is TO be comfortable, so
comfortable that you can entirely forget
your clothes and give your attention TO the
game. Still, there is no reason why these
shirts cannot be comfortable and at the
same time have some OF the hallmarks Of
the seasons fashions. To begin with, the
shirt must be Of soft, pliable material,
