By JUDY HORNADY Daily News Fashion Editor The most encouraging news in this season of slim skirts is that some of the slimmest are secretly fulL They're hiding their possibilities under straight-hanging, slim-seeming pleats but wait till you whirl! You can walk, sit, get on a bus even jitterbug if you want to and your new pleated skirt will allow you room to spare.

But as soon as you stand up straight again, the pleats will fall back into place, letting you look as narrow as even you could "wish. The profusion of pleats in this season's fashions isn't limited to skirts alone. You'll find pleats on your sleeves and shoulders, pleated yokes and bibs and even completely pleated bodices. WTierever they appear, these new pleats don't need to be pampered. Sit on them, let them get rained on, wear them day in and out, and they'll still keep their knife-sharp edges with never a press in the lot.

For this, as you may have guessed, you can thank the new "miracle" fibers mixed with wool, cotton and rayon and treated to hold a pleat until the cloth wears out. Because of these "miracles" nylon, orlon and acrilan you can pack your pleats, with never a thought for the way they'll look when you reach your destination. You can wash them, too, no matter how much your dress looks like priceless silk or wool. Just rinse them out, hang them up dripping, and the pleats will be neat as ever when dry. Some of the exciting fabrics that are taking to pleats this season are Orion and wool, Acrilan and rayon, Orion and cotton and Acrilan and wool.

You'll find them in crushed, "broom-stick" pleats, in accordion pleats, soft full pleats, and tiny, knife-edged pleats" that look as if you'd spent a lifetime pressing them in.

AND ESTHER B. KLINS Q.

Is it cheaper to wed than to remain single? A. Of course, the old saying, "Two can live as cheaply as one," isn't to be taken literally. Two can't eat as cheaply as one. And a husband and wife can't wear the same clothes.

By INEZ ROBB International News Service New York, Sept. 1 If Princess Margaret doesn't marry before long, matchmakers on both sides of the Atlantic are going to bfe worn to a frazzle, and so am I. The latest eligible bachelor for whom the busybodies have set their caps in the Princess behalf is Lord Patrick Terence William Span Plunket, seventh Baron Plunket. If the little Princess should marry Lord Plunket, the gods would probably sit on the sidelines and laugh themselves silly.

For Milord's grandmother, the late Fannie Ward (the perennial flapper) was once in the long, long ago forbidden to live within a mile of Buckingham palace. That was because the all but imperishable Fannie in the gay eighties and nineties was a musical comedy star and a queen of the music halls at home and abroad. In those far-off days, an actress was forbidden to live within a mile of the royal palace, a hard and fast rule enforced by custom and police. FANNIE, who died in January, 1952, lived to see her oldest grandson an equerry to King George VI. She was accustomed to chuckle with more glee than malice as she point-ed out that her grandson lived in and helped, run the "joint" which, as a young actress, she was expected to contaminate if she lived less than a mile distant.

And now the matchmakers, including apparently some members of the Princess own family, are of the opinion that Fannie's grandson is just what common sense and cupid ordered. It was Lord Plunket who was chosen to replace the controversial Group Capt. Peter Townsend of the RAF as an equerry in the royal household when the captain was "banished" from London to the British Embassy in Brussels in order to put distance be-tween the Royal Princess and himself. Anyway, that's why he was banished according to the gossips. At all odds, Lord Plunket is a member of the royal household.

He is frequently in the Princess's company and it was he who danced H.R.H. off her royal feet at the birthday ball given in her honor by the Queen ten days ago when Margaret turned a ripe 23. THE CIRCLE of eligible young men, never large at best, worthy of a princess, narrows constantly, as the lads marry much less regal personages than Margaret There are them as think Lord Plunket is the answer to a princess' prayer tall, dark and handsome with money, and don't think the latter con-, tingency isn't of first importance. It costs like sixty even to be an in-law of royalty. Princess Margaret receives only a modest royally speakingallowance from parliament.

Even though the queen might augment her sister's income from her private purse if and when Margaret marries, it would be nice if the bridegroom could afford to pick up the checks occasionally. LORD PLUNKET'S youthful parents, who were killed in an airplane accident on the California coast in 1938, left him a wad conservatively estimated at $1,000,000. Since jewels valued at only $20,000 were found in his grandmother's estate when she died, I have often wondered if Fannie gave him, before her death, the magnificent pearls and other jewels she once owned. The youthful Irish Peer, who will be 30 years old on Sept. 8, is a godson of the late George VI, father of the Princess to whom the matchmakers would now marry him.

If it really does turn out to be a match, Fannie ought to rate a special window in heaven from which to watch the jubilization in Buckingham from whose very vicinity she was barred so long ago. Yet many men find themselves saving money after marriage, something they couldn't do as bachelors. Why? Because they no longer throw away money" on idle amusements, for one thing. Moreover, they develop a greater sense of responsibility about the future and acquire a desire to save. Frequently, they marry women who are fru-Xal and good budgeters.

Furthermore, in these days of working wives, some couples are able to share many expenses, such as rent, which each of the partners had to carry alone before marriage. And many mates find it possible to build a tidy nest-egg by living off the husband's income and putting the wife's earnings into a savings account. DESPITE THE economic advantages of marriage, there are pitfalls which should be avoided or you're likely to find yourself in a financial hole. 1. Don't try to Keep up appearances with wealthier friends.

A young couple we know is deeply in debt because of the common mistake of "keeping up with the Joneses." The wife was socially ambitious and the husband thought the "contacts" would help him in his work. They rented an apartment because the address was good, when an equally comfortable one in a less swanky neighborhood could be had for half the price. Moreover, they gave parties on the same scale as acquaintances with double their income. In addition, the old jalopy wouldn't do, so they traded it in for a big, expensive model. The consequences were inevitable.

This husband and wife are now floundering in debt and won't be able to look their creditors in the eye again until after several years of stringent economy Apparently, the only help their "contacts" gave them was to help them dispose of their food and liquor. 2.
