As I said last week, leisure ilme is right for gay clothes. You do not need a lot of them but make sure they can be worn in
a varlely of combinations.
For instance a brightly colour- ed skiri will go with a white blouse or a patterned one. You
may have a reversable skirt with
a plain colour on one aide and
a pattern on the other.
This of course would be best

THE MOUNTAINS.
The mountains, the mountains rise so high
Up, up into the air they soar,
Until finally they meet with the sky
Filling the valleys below with awe. These majestic mountains, these lofty hills
Stand forever on the land
Giving man unbounded thrills,
Over sea and desert sand.
Whatever secrets these mountains hold,
I cannot help but wonder.
Will they over to me unfold
