STREET STOCKINGS
You will find the seller of stockings and socks in the streets of Paris (says a writer in the "Daily News")- This merchant, from the size and variety of whoso.supplies one might conclude that Parisians walk a great deal or need new socks at extraordinarily short intervals, is one of Paris's most familiar sights. At the kefbside, at the entrances to courtyards and offices, at the door of cinemas, and in the vestibules of theatres, he hangs his socks in colourful festoons upon lengths of string, or piles them, artistically assorted as to shades, upon a tray. Tho demand for socks is growing, I am told. Those bought in the street are as durable as shop-sold articles, and generally they are cheaper. For colour they are incomparably more cheerful thaii the kind the big stores sell. Imagine the theatre doors in tho Strand festooned i with socks! Here they seem to be in keeping, with lioulovard life. j
