PACKING PLEATS.
With so many pleated skirts as ire now have a hint as to proper packing may .be useful (says a. writer in an exchange). In the case of box pleats or those very deeply creased and' folded, each fold should be laid carefully in place, and when possible the skirt should be packed without doubling. It is one of the advantages of the short skirt that this is usually practicable even in a suitcase by merely folding the yoke part under; but if double you must use a. thick twist of tissue paper, and fold with the pleated part outside. In the case of the all-round pleated skirt, where the pleats are usually narrow, the folding should always be done by twisting the whole garment firmly, as if preparing to wring it. It can then he doubled l over a twist of paper, and even if other things are packed on. top it will emerge uncrushed and with every pleat in place.. The allpleated skirt should never be packed straight.
