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 uucomfortable clammines.
And un 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- aner is the only noticeable difference.
