"We have the smart Continental designers to thank for the inspiration for these beautiful resort fashions. At home on sparkling Mediterranean shores--these bright blouses are just perfect along our native coasts and mountains...The jewel tones of our Continental Shirt--shown on the cover--reflect the emerald and sapphire colors of the sea. It is a natural choice for 'those in the know' who will wear it with slacks, fancy pants or shorts."

I could absolutely see knitting the Continental Shirt for today, minus the stripes. It would be nice in a drapeable cotton or cotton-hemp yarn...
