Stripes and Bars.

The thin girl and the stout girl were admiring some handsome gowns displayed in the show window of a department store. "I’d like that one,” said the fat girl, Indicating one of the prettiest. “Huh,” said the other, “I never wear stripes.” With a glance at the more than sylphlike figure of her companion the stout girl replied: "Of course not. It would be utterly Impossible. There wouldn’t be room to put more than one stripe used lengthwise, and if you wore them horizontally they’d be bars.”
