SHOPGIRL
ON LONDON 'DRESS TOUR
By ANNE EDWARDS
ORTY-DOLLAR-A-WEEK
New York shopgirl • Adrienne Glock reached London last week on her tour: of the fashion capitals.
She is a graduate of the. world's only Fashion School, has just finished a two-year course in selling, buying, ad- vertising, displaying and de-. aigning fashions.
In five days' time, her tour over, she returns to a senior salesgirl's job in Stern's depart- ment store in New York's 42nd Street.
OBVIOUS QUESTION: What sort of clothes can a £10-a-aweek New York shopgirl afford to buy and choose to wear?
Here are three typical outfits-for morning, afternoon, and evening- which I picked from her personal holiday wardrobe to provide the an swer. All three are slick, unmis- takably American, and, by our standards, inexpensive.
Her Suit
MORNING: Suit in navy blue flannel with a large white check. It has short, jacket and full skirt,, cost her £14. Navy blue straw hat, with a white feather at the side. cost £3 10s. Plain Court, shoes and glass nylons are "what we are all wearing in New York now." Glass nylons are shiny, look like a high glass on your skin, cost from 10. a pair.
Hor Hat AFTERNOON: Bonnet in fawa velvet, goes up one side and down

the other. Silver metal brooches trim the hat: and the velvet scarf. It costs £4.. She wears it with a plain black crepe frock, price £o 15. "We all wear our skirts very long. just above ankle length," she says, "With sun tan stockings.”
Her 'Special'
EVENING: Ballet-length dress, in black taffeta. It has an off-shoulder neck liné, separate taffeta pafliccat; Price-only £7: 15s, and that „in- cluded “mlttlets" in black lace. Adrienne wears a "giraffe" woman's collar of pearls (bought in a sale for 10%.) because "We are crazy about pearls--we wear just as many neck- inces as we can get on."
Miss Glock's £7 155. dress would be sold here for: £17 bs. celling price even our manufacturer's price would be 29 0% Dd. Petticoat here would cost un extra £4 or £5 against £1 in America.“ REASON Conly, one I can And, apart from weight of purchase tax); Americans mass-produce. In millions: we make only in thousands.

For years manufacturers have been trying to make fiber and finer wool. But the finer the wool they used- the more fragile the material be- came.
Now this new discovery has made possible for the first time, a fabric, that weighs Zozs. a yard, with the strength of cloth three times that weight.
The now discovery? A spinning process that wraps the fragile wool thread round a core of nylon. Wool gives the warmth-nylog brings the strength.
Dr G. F. D. Alelio, a research worker of Pittsburgh, would like to puncture the plastic dream bubble most people have blown from their imagination.

Dr Alelio said plastics-making is not easy and that extensive research and experimentation was necessary to make new kinds of plastics.
"Plastics aren't made, as many people-believe, by throwing together handfuls of air, water and seaweed," Dr Alelio commented.
