For all those who’ve never seen a Sunday afternoon Marx Brothers repeat, we’ve re-created their happy-go-lucky look so you can see what it was all about—lovely casual easy-to-wear clothes, extra long jackets, loose baggy trousers and happy looking Harpo hats. The total effect is amazing and pretty and guaranteed to bring a smile to the dreariest passer-by. For details of clothes, turn over . . .
