that combines many good quail

pears it deserves q long runI
and it usually has it. Travel
prints belong IN this category,
and they have had quite a long
popularity.
Surface Interest
The prints, sometimes called
travel tweedS," have texture
interest. which has been impor-
tant for several seasons. IN ad-
dition to their rough, attractive
weave, they are printed so that
they resemble a rough woven
material. such as a tweed or
other woolen fabric with design
in the weaving. This year, in
addition to herringbones, small
plaidS and striped effects, these
prints have taken on other
small designs, so that they are
more interesting than ever. AS
they have a rough texture, they
dye beautifully, and are usually
in good shades of brown and
beige, red. blue. green or gray.
