Great Variety

An infinite variety Of changes is
rung on the panel. There are long
panels hanging below the bottom Of
the skirt and those that are short.
There are wide ones and others that
are nothing more than narrow strips

are plain. They may hang perfectly
loose and straight, or be In series OF
