The right way is to roll the stocking down to heel and draw on over the foot. Pulling the stock- ings on is a bad feature, for this way threads may be easily -torn. Supporters should al- ways be fastened to garter band, and not be- low, for this will ruin the stocking. —The chief enemy of silk hosiery is perspira- tion. Silk hosiery should be washed every night, immediately after wearing. Use luke- warm, soapy water and good neutral soap.’ Never use hot water or irpn. Squeeze the water out gently and allow to dry.

(Oumze) cost a little more than the “average” size. Style No. 80is made with wider ribbed tops and style No. 5— 0. S. is an etnire larger size for the larger limb.

Every one may be greatly satisfied here in finding her particu- lar style. Wear Them With Cut-Out Shoes —An all-silk foot makes them particu- larly adaptable for wear with the modish cut-out shoes.
