hats, gloves, hose; banquet recep
tions: cocktail length or long

ner dates: dresses, suits, gloves,
hose; picnics and such occasions as
informal concerts at the Rose Gar

Since the above statement does
not cover all situations and since
it allows more freedom than the

to inquire about appropriate and
