SUCTION TWO—:
COTTON MAID WILL FLY ATLANTIC
ON GOODWILL AND FASHION TOUR
I
Beverly Pack Will Board BOAC Flight March 30
To Visit Europe For U. S. Cotton Industry
The 1954 Maid of Cotton, blue-eyed
Beverly Pack of El Paso, Texas, will
carry the American cotton industry’s
goodwill and fashion message to Eur
ope this month.
Maid Beverly will hoard a British
Overseas Airways Stratocruiser at
New' York on March 30 with London
her destination. During her stay
abroad, she will visit major cities in
England, France and Germany.
As the official representative of the
1.3 million members of the U. S. cot
ton industry, Beverly will carry good
will greetings to European textile
leaders. As fashion herald for cotton,
she will take news of the outstanding
new American cottons to each of the
countries she visits.
Fashions From Paris
A high point of her European trip
will come at Paris, There a number
of intornationally-famous French cou
timers, including Pierre Balmain and
Jacques Heim, will design fashions in
American cotton fabrics for Maid
Beverly. The Maid will add these to
her fabulous year-round, all-occasion
wardrobe created by 44 top American
designers.
Packing for her European tour wil
he no problem for Maid Beverly, since
she already has consulted with the
BOAC Wardrobe Advisory Service so
a briefing on clothes she will need
to take on her three-week trip.
Packing Tips
ThC packing pointers given the
young cotton emissary by Ouida Wag
ner, who directs BOAC's wardrobe
service in New York, will serve as
good advice to any air traveler.
Among her recommendations are:
1. Double-duty clothes are a must,
since it is necessary to travel light
when flying (luggage allowance, grat
is, on first-class trans-Atlantic flights
is 66 pounds). Fof example, a long
coat or fitted jacket with sheath dress
will serve many purposes. Lightweight
luggage is an asset to the air traveler.
The Maid of Cotton travels with
Amelia Earhart cotton-coated luggage
throughout her air tour.
2. Don’t forget cotton knit fashions,
Mrs. Wagner advises. They are in
valuable in a flight wardrobe because
they resist wrinkles.
Treated Cottons
3. New, treated cottons such as
wrinkle-resistant cotton tweeds and
menswear suitings are ideal for dress
es and suits, because they are adapt-
