"Viyella fine flannel ensures restful sleep and minimises the discomfort and danger of changes of the temperature. Buoyantly light, Viyella is protective without any suggestion of stodginess. It guards your health during humid nights by absorbing excessive moisture and radiating it, a fact that obviates dangerous uncomfortable clamminess.
And no matter how exacting the conditions of wear and washing, you can depend upon Viyella' playing its part with a brave and carefree heart. No matter how often this rich looking fabric with its smart, unobtrusive designs is washed, an improvement in appear- ance is the only noticeable difference."

SUGGESTIONS FOR SOLVING CROSS-WORD PUZZLES
Start out by filing in the words of which you feel reasonably sure. These will give you a clue to other words crossing them, and they in turn to still others. A letter belongs in each white space, words starting at the numbered squares and running either horizontally or vertically or both.
