...could not be said, however, that Washington lacks exuberance. It has been supplied by more than 5000 Texans, some of whom have swaggered into the capital with cowboy boots, ten-gallon hats, and at least one tiara that says "Howdy, I'm from Texas" in lights when its wearer pushes a button. More than 3000 visitors jammed a coffee hour given by Sen. Ralph Yarborough (D-Tex.) in a tiny Capitol Hill room yesterday morning...
...popular from coast to coast and in between that the far out teen-ager is the one who sticks to dirndls. Still, there are pants that will not do, and while shorts and slacks in every length and any size (so long as they coincide roughly with the wearer's own) are sportswear standards, there are places that not even the handsomest of them can go, or at least go unnoticed.

All make superb between-season coats, but then there is this little problem: not one is waterproof...
...even that isn't all joy: the infinite accordion pleats form tiny canals that collect the water and channel it down the wearer's neck. There is still the handy umbrella, adequate enough for the most part, but a bother in buses, impossible to hold onto in a fair-sized wind, and, in the wrong hands (usually belonging to little old ladies with shopping bags), a dangerous weapon...
