The Mary QUAINT designs
play up a lot Of black and
white in the crepe group. Mr..
Young mentioned that he
tried to put this idea over to
some West Coast and New
York manufacturers but they
didn't go for 1t. There's a
naughty but nice look to the
horseshoe neckline jumpers
worn with long-sleeved
blouses of white crepe with a
long pointed collar.
The poplin group pops UP
in shirts, skirts, jumpers, and
vests and are real summer
coolers.
A chain fastening on a re-

Emmanuelle Khanh. Like
Mary QUAINT, she is on a

sometimes looks outrage
