Fashionable leather covers up for daytime,
cuts it short and shapely for evening wear

ADMIT IT; who doesn’t
like the feeling of skin
against skin?

calf ‘will tempt even the strictest
fashion rebel. You will succumb
to the. buttery suedes and liquid
leathers of dark mocha, midnight
-blue,.taupe, deep greens, crimson
red,. cinnamon, aubergine and
cassis, purple, caramel and black.

. Another way-they will win your
heart is. with their lower prices.
‘ Improved manufacturing
methods and reaction to the slow
retail: market have dropped the
price of leather this year, ‘just in
“ time for the colder weather.

: Q: Does’ frequent
drycleaning shorten the life
ofa garment? :

A: On the contrary,
frequent drycleaning prolongs the
life ofa garment. Not only do
stains set with gage, making the
garment unwearable, but-ground-in
dirt and soil act as an abrasive, like
sandpaper, ‘causing rapid wear of
fibers, Also, insects are attracted to
soiled clothes and will cause further
damage. A study carried out at the
University of North Carolina,
Department of Clothing ard.
Textiles tested samples of woolen
fabrics for changes after dryclean-
‘ing. The fabrics were tested for ten

ssible areas of change, including
(oss. of strength and loss of
resilience, but no. significant
changes were found, even after ten
drycleanings.
