Homemaking—

Suggestions on Shopping and Caring for Your Rayon Hosiery

Pearl Harbor sent your nylon to the front at a time when our silk supply had been cut off for several months. As stocks of silk and nylon run out, women will depend chiefly upon rayon for their stockings—and rayon, according to the OPA consumer division, presents special problems in buying, use and care. Information obtained by the consumer division in tests made upon several hundred pairs of rayon stockings are the basis of the following tips for hosiery shoppers. Ask for high-twist rayon hose. Hosiery made of loosely twisted yarn snags more easily and lacks the strength and elasticity of highly twisted yarn. Make sure the foot of the stocking is reinforced with cotton. Rayon alone can be damaged by perspiration and wear. Look for hightwist rayon in the welt of the stocking. This part of the hose has to withstand a two-way stretch, with your garters pulling one way and your leg movements pulling the other way. See to it that the welt is about four inches long and has a double layer of the same length. The afterwelt or “shadow” welt should be at least two inches long, with a run-stop at the bottom.

We, the Women— ‘Vacations Are

Needed More Than Ever’

By RUTH MILLETT

JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN'T or feel they shouldn't take a trip this summer is no reason why Mama and Papa can't have a vacation. They won't go, though, if they plan to spend their two weeks like fourteen Sundays in a row, sticking around home, getting in a little reading, a lot of puttering, and complaining bit terly about the heat. The couple who intends to spend its vacae tion in town ought to plan it as carefully as it has always planned its cross-country marathons. Husbands and wives without children can vacation in their own homes by spending some of the money a trip would have cost them, having the cooking and housework done, so that Mama gets a real rest, too. But, where there are children Mama and Papa need to turn the house over to them—with someone called in to take charge—and find
