The negligence air of the collar. the
comfortable placement of the pockets
and the loose, three quarter sleeves,
which are dignified sisters to the short
sleeves that appear more frequently in
every garment, are the kinds of acces-
sories we expect on coats. but they are
sp1endidly embroidered in a Rumanian
design in red and black, f1attened out
against the surface in the way the
French call lame. The vest, which does
not reach the neck and drops below the
waist line, is of thin voile in the same
tone of beige as the serge. The front

she asked, timidly.
Some of them did and some of them
didn't replied Prickly Porky. 'It all
depended on how much real sense they
had in their heads. Have you got some
real sense in your head?"
This was such a surprising question
that Chubby didn't know what to an
