but it remains a hygienic abomination,
according to the doctors. This refers TO
the round garter-the compressor of mus
cles.< the hindrance to the circulation and
the number of nerves. And 1t is this in
strument of torture upon which the manu-
facturers have lavished their attention.
until il has become so pretty an affair,
with its filigree buckles and its ribbon
bows. hat only the most Spartan of
women can resist it.
The round garter, fastened above the
knee, is not considered by physicians quite
SO deadly as the tightly drawn corset.
There are no ribs in the leg to be com
pressed and the vital organs of the body
are not located in the neighborhocd of the
knee. But next to the injurious COM
preston of the waist. bust and abdomen
by stays. the hygienists place the compress
sion of the leg by elastic carriers.
The rubber bands Which ~encirele the
flesh Just above the knee are dangerous
because of their effect upon the muscles
ard upon the circulation. The VEINS
are contracted and the blood of necessity
is retarded in its flow. The result is not
merely local injury, but harm to the
whole system, which is affected by the
slGgg shness Of the circulation.

an inapa red circulation. bur it is also mus
oular. In walking the muscles just above
and just below the knee are brought
more INTO play than any others. The
compression of the muscles al this point
IS therefore something to be avoided. for
1t means additional effort at every step
ard consequent WEAKNESS. Often this
fatigue produces muscular rheumatism,
and doctors b lis are the direct result OF
the frivolous b Of silk elastic, ribbon
and silver which dealers call a garter.
Put say the wearers of carriers very
truly, 1--WE must have something to keep
our stockings not only up over our shoe
tops. but smooth" TIE stocking suspen-
der is, according to the doctors, the thing
which meets their needs. It extends
from the corset or the corset waist down
The E de almost to the knee in one un-
divided band. Three Or four inches
above the knee it divides into two parts
which extend in V-shape to the top of the
stocking ard clasp it with a tin or silver
clasp, as the case may be. Unless the
elastic is so short that IT causes a jerk
at every step, III s suspender is absolutely
hysienic. Il may even be made almost
as frivolously pretty as the round one.
for its clasps may be of silver and itself
of ribbon edged silk elastic.
In winter 1t is comparatively easy to
hold the stocking in place by the suspen-
der garter, for they cling 10 the silk or
woolel union undersuit which all hyg.eni-
eally inclined wonen wear.
II unluer when they are of slippery
silk or Isle thread and when there is no
rough underwear surface to help in hold
ing them in place, they are app to slip
81 Chilly and lie in wrinkles above the shoe
TOP. The truly hygienic woman bears this
as bravely IS she can, preferriag wrinkles
u compression.
The halfway hygieaic woman compro-
raizes with compression. she relies upon
tae suspender garter to hold the stocking
Up, bus she also wears a pair of some
what loose round gartars below the knee
TO keep the stockings from wrinkling. If
the e~xigeacies of tidiness absolutely de-
inaHa the round garter it is much better
thlt Ii should be worn below the knse
than above.
Fer the leg just below the knee has an
.ensiye area of bore which ordinary elias
