Rograin The New Roman Stripe “Inside-Out” Hose $I.95 Six months ago the word went from one smart young thing to another that stockings worn inside out looked sheerer—had subtler color value—did not show rings—and, some even said, wore longer. So thousands of pairs re- versed themselves. But those who were fastidious did not like the reversed seams. An ex- pert stepped in—and today all smart women are offered the new Rograin, the modern hose with seams, smooth as silken veins. Rograin looks sheerer than it is—Rograin wears longer than it looks—Rograin gives the effect all women want—at a price that is not extravagant. If you have never tried “inside-outing”—reverse one of your own stock- ings. You will see an added sheerness, but, of course, you will not have smooth seams. In Rograin hose you now have both. Try them now. Hos1eny, Asie 19, Pmst FLOOR. : Felt combined with Baku—in New Spring Shades . WoODWARD & LOTHROP 1880 __GOrpEn= ANNIVERSA!
