DESIRE FOR SILK . - HOSE NOT MODERN Much Appreciated by Royalty, Centuries Ago. There ;is a popular notion that silk stockings are a recent vogue, and one sometimes hears them compared rather deprecatingly witll the fashions of our grandmothers. o But if critics would take the trouble .to dip into the social history of the past, they would find that silk stockings, far from being an invem;on of the moderns, were really in popular ‘use before even worsted stockings were thought of. o ~ Until the reign of Henry VIII stockings were made out of ordinary cloth, his majesty’s own hose bfzing of yardwide taffeta. . :

Lfiong before this, ho’vc;ever, silk stockings . were largely worn on the continent, and in Henry VIII's own time they were indispensable to the attire of Spanish courtiers, and -indeed of the general aristocracy of Spain. ; : -

They had, of course, been heard of in England, and were greatly coveted. What is spoken .of by the famous chronicler, Stow, a$ “a very great present” was in reality, a gift of Spanish silk stockings from Sir Thomas Gresham to Edward VI, King Henty's son. Latterly, King Henry himself evinced a decided weakness for these nether garments of “shiny texture,” and he lost no opportunity of getting a pair - across when circumstances were favorable. -

~ Again in 1560 we find the same Sir Thomas Gresham writing thus from Antwerp to. the celebrated Elizabethan minister, Sir William Cecil—"l have written into Spain for silk hose both for you and my- lady, your wife; to whom it may please you I may be remembered.” The black silk stockings, Gresham’s biographer tells us, duly arrived, much to the gratification of the recipients.

Subsequent troubles with Spain made it impossible to' get the dainty hosiery across, and when Queen Elizabeth came to the throne silk stockings were not to be had. But the queen’s silkwoman, -Mrs. Montague, was not contenf that her royal mistress should go with unsatisfied wants so she secretly knitted a pair of black silk hose and presented them to her majesty as a New Year's gift. The queen, of course, was overjoyed. Mrs. Montague was immediately sent for, ceurteously thanked, and commissioned to keep her majesty regularly supplied. “I like silk stockings so well,” she said, “because they are pleasant, fine, and delicate, that henceforth I will wear ne more cloth stockings.” And, according to the contemporary gossipers, she never did. It was thus that: the fashion was set, and the manufacture of silk stock‘ings in England started. But at first the price was prohibitive, and it was long before any but the highest in the land could afford-to wear them. What they originally cost cannot very well ‘he ascertained. - But the diary of Philip Henslowe tells us that whereas as little as £4 was paid for a pair In later Elizabethan days, as much as £4 14s. was paid for a pair of silk-hose for one of the actors! :

Crawled Into Telescope

‘The arrival of a new 21-inch lens at Wesleyan unlversity for the giant telescope in the Van Vleck observatory recently presented the problem of how it .was to be inserted in the long barrel of the telescope, the New York World states. Prof. Frederick C. Slocum, head of the astronomy department, undertook to crawl 11 feet into the telescope and adjust the lens. Members of the department awaited with bated breath the outcome of Professor Slocum’s muffled efforts. On receiving his signal—the wiggling of his toes—he was pulled out, looking none the worse for his experience. ‘He took occasion to remind his confreres that being the thinnest man on the faculty had its advantages. He is of Cape Cod Yankee stock. _

Big-Hearted Bachelor

An old bachelor, who is fond of children, especially penniless ones who know the treat that a dish of ice cream on a warm evening brings, while strolling about a northern suburb recently made a score of youngsters happy when he rounded them up and took them in a body to a church lawn social. The youngsters didn’t wait for a second invitation to be his guests and none of them backed away from the tables when the iced delicacy and cake came around their way. They left the. tables with three cheers for the philanthropic friend: and the church society was grateful for.the acquisition of several quarters to its exchequer, made possible by his generosity to the kids.—Detroit News.

Caught Crows Napping

Mark Lowe, a farmer, used a cheap and effective method to kill crows and at the same time made a good profit in collecting the bounty, a Parsons (Kan.) correspondent of the New York World states. When he appeared at the county clerk’s office with 280 crows 'and collected $2B the clerk figared he shot them one at a time, and that they cost him five cents apiece in ammunition. : . -

Lowe set the county clerk right, nowever, when he informed him he got the crows In two shots. ‘He explained he had exploded two charges of dynamite beneath two trees where the crows perched at night, and it literally rained dead crows several minutes,
