"A novelty has recently appeared at
Chemnitz in the shape of hosiery. the
new idea being to make it possible to
repair hosiery so that it Will appear as
if new. To this end fast seams in the
mesh are made across the toe, ankle
and heel If, therefore, a hole appears
in the toe, it is cut off and a new one
attached, which is easily and quickly
done by hand, the seams appearing
practically the same as when new. In
like manner the heel is repaired, or in
case of general debility the whole
foot can be removed by cutting it OF
at the ankle. In order to make it pos
sible for all to repair their own stock
ings it is the design of the manufact-
urer to furnish with every dozen pairs.
of hosiery one dozen extra pairs OK
feet, three dozen pairs of toes and
three dozen pairs of heels.
