Later, he joked that the Germans had probably insisted he get out of town because his tattered jogging outfit was so indecorous. Unlike...
...seem to be many fishermen or climbers--two women argue about sizes of Bean's Oxford Cloth Shirtdresses, Bean's Jean Skirts and Bean's Kettle Cloth Skirts. They settle on one and head for the footwear department, stopping in front of a display of the Maine hunting shoe, L. L.'s first inspiration. "They're so cute," one of the women says.
