GLENN
PLAIDS
Wonderful break for a budget! These trim Glen Plaid
skirts fool the eye ... They have the look of more expen
sive hard finish worsted. Actually- they're a grand blend
of 80% rayon, 20% worsted ... A fabric that appears
heavy but is really a fairly light, comfortable weight.
Tht worsted content means added warmth, good drap
ing qualities. The woven glen plaid is exceptionally
clear and good looking. In the smart wanted style—pen
cil slim, fly front. ,
Team it with a nylon sweater
Kitten soft nylon — cashmere like finish. Suds them out and
they're ready to wear in a jiffy. Best of all they won’t shrink or
fade. Colors — soft pink, pastel blue, scarlet red, and emerald
green. Sizes 34 - 40.
