MAD MAID (Gibson, '66) Each $12.00 



One of the tasks encountered in trying to describe these novel pli- 

 catas is that of finding adequate words. So when we sav that Mad 

 Maid has reddish-tan standards, and white ground falls bordered 

 copper which shades into reddish-brown markings, let us assure 

 you that it really is different, and good! 34 inches. HM AIS, 1967.
