Among the peculiarities Of so called
pure English. nothing is more singular
than tho difference between tho names
given TO footwear. In America . boot
is something which comes nearly up to
tho knee. while in England anything
above low cut shoe is invariably de-
scribed as boot. The same peculiarly
exists in regard to hose. In England
the only two words used are stockings
and socks, the difference being entirely
in the length Of the leg, and the word
half hose being purely American In
the trade in this country there are three
distinctions-the stocking, . sock and
half hose. There is no ribbed top to tho
American sock. and there are other
