SILK STOCKINGS.
Lecturing before the Manufacturers’ Association at Auckland on Wednesday evening, Miss Ellen Melville .said: “I know they do not make fullfashion stockings in New Zealand. That is 'because it is not economical to instal the necessary machinery. T hen you hear people say, ‘I must wear a fulW-ashion stocking.’ You will forgive jm-e for saying that it is not the shape of the stocking that matters, but the shape of the . leg inside it. All that talk about full-fashion is just a gag.” These remarks followed a statement, by Miss Melville that “there are thousands of pains of artificial silk and woollen stockings made in New ’Zealand, -but von never see them nroclaiming their history and oedieree. You can get better value for your money in New Zealand-made stockings than in any others. You can get New Zealand-made pure silk stockings for 8s lid, and it is one ol tho hardest wearing stockings I know. The duty on silk stockings is 2S 6d to 3s 9d a pair, and you cannot darn a Customs duty.”
