that more of the yellow material is bought
than any other color.
School girls especially are very much ad-
dicted to wearing yellow silk garters on
the left limb, and many stories we're re-
la ed to the reporter about how real giddy
creatures OF from so to 40 years OF are
bought the magic coiors because they hadn't
happened to catch husband.
There is another story which has been
followed out to very great extent of late,
and that is, il girl wears her carriers
below the knee she will not only spoil the
shape of her limbs, but will marry I'M
happily.
There is not an actress in this city, at
least, who wears circular carriers below the
knee, and most Of them do not wear gar
ters at all.
FAY TEMPLEToN's CARRIERS.
Fay Templeton in speaking of garters
one afternoon, told several chums OF hers
that since she was a girl she had never worn
a garter except present or two, which she
wore 80 loose that they did not actually
have any effect on the stocking.
She always wore supporters from the
waist, she said, and remarked that any
woman was fool to spoil the flesh of her
limb by squeezing the flesh into q smaller
space than is actually required to thrive in.
Minnie Palmer has the largest and most
valuable assortment Of carriers that is
known of, and if what is said be true she
never wears the same pair twice in
month.
CoRINNE's 14S PAIRS OF CARRIERS.
Cor1nne is also another lady who has a
fortunes to hold her stockings up with.
When she was only IA years of age she had
forty-three pairs Of gar5ers. sand now she
has l43 different sets of stocking supporters,
which are worth from s., 900 to 81 pair.
They are of every style imaginable, and she
ALWAYS wears those which match her stock
ings.
FANNY RICE'S FORTUNE IN CARRIERS.
Fanny Rice is another stage beauty who
car show an almost unlimited stock of gar
tiers.
She has in all 212 pairs, which are valued
at scr, 900.
She takes a great deal of interest in this
small rart of Der wardrobe, aid when she
was PLAYING "Javo.n in "Erminie," it was
said she never wore the same pair OF garter'
iu the second act, when she wore the rea
short skirts, twice in the same season.
THEY MAKE A STUDY OF CARRIERS.
Marie Jansen. Marion Manola, Bessie
Cleveland, Mrs. Langtry, Cora Tanner, LII
Ian Russell, Cermancita, Marion Haitor
and many other actresses of promise make
carriers study. and if they would let Ioose
their minds on the subject they could tell
lots and lots of interesting stories about
carriers which will probably lever be
known.
Not only are the circular carriers made to
cost large amounts of money, but all, IN
fact. that are worn at all can be Iounu
gotten up in the most regardless manner as
to expense.
Aside from the handsome Jeweled clasps
and buckles. they are made OF tne nnest
silks and satins that can be procured.
Besides, some of the supporters are most
exouisitely embroidered, ofientimes Win
gold and silver, representing Cupids, form
mo an initial OF some kind, or word or
two. such as honS soft qui NAL ypef1Se.
