In the good. old days when gods and goddesses wandered around the i earth untrammelled by any clothes at" all the nether limbs were of»-v. secondary importance to the face. DUT* women of this era know the imD portance of a good stocking to cover that interesting leg. The girl with the limited Income should think hard before she buys a pair of expensive stockings, and unless she. definitely wants to wear them with one costume only they should be of a shade that will match a number of her frocks. Another point is that a woman with heavy legs should dispense with clocked stockings, and should wear only perfectly plain ones, although a slipper heel has a thinning effect on the ankles. But any embroidery or openwork lace on a stocking only brings the leg into prominence and makes more noticeable its defects. Do not buy cheap stockings. It does not pay m the end, as even if they do not ladder at once they retain, even after washing several times, a shiny surface that betrays them at once. Wash all stockings before they are worn the 1 first time, and wash, them frequently afterwards. :The wisest procedure is to rinse. your stockings out when you remove them, as frequent- changes are advisable, and washing also saves the feet of the stocking a good deal. Clean stockings on the feet also help to eliminate' tiredness.
