To Make Stockings Last.

In order to make new stockings last beyond their time one clever woman rubs paraffin on the heels and toes before putting the stockings on. They wear wonderfully under this treatment. Another woman who considers this method uncomfortable (though, really, it is not so) runs a stocking darner into her new hosiery and darns it round and round at heel and toe with fine darning cotton. Done once, it never seems to be needed again, and the stockings last practically forever. Some of the new traveling coats have pockets almost as big as handbags.
