On the other hand, when heavy day-time fabrics show stand-away pleats in short swagger costs, one realises that pleats can be taken into too many dress schemes with- out thought, and we commence to see their drawbacks. Picats that will appeal most strongly to the really well-dressed woman must be in fine fabrics,
