is made

in a clear, transparent fabric of the cellophane order, and has a three-inch width of silk let in all round the cover, which allowe plenty of room for frills and furbelows, and makes it pos- sible to protect the fluffiest of gowns without crushing.

Other of the new dress .covers fitted to hangers have zip fastener's at each side, a time-saving idea when hurried changes of frocks have to be made.
