TO PROTECT THIN STOCKINGS

Will Last Longer by Adding Two or Throe Kinds of Harness to One Pair. The popularity of thin stockings, which Include lisle and silk, has caused Individuals and firms to Invent all kinds of guards to make these thin stockings wearable. The woman who indulges In them has added two or three kinds of harness to one pair of stockings, but she makes by It in the end, for her stockings last longer and they do not show the large darns, which are not attractive with slippers and low pumps. The first protection is a round chamois pad, which is attached to the end of each corset elastic and goer between the top of the stocking and the steel hook. The pulling of the stocking comes against the chamois Instead of the metal and therefore one does not have those unsightly Jacob’s ladders which ruin the best- stockings ever made. Another safety device Is a toe guard of knitted silk. This comes in whita only and It can be worn under any color of stocking without showing because of Its shortness. This catches the impression of the toe and the silk tassels of brilliants.
