they are rather expensive, the cheapest

designed for GOODNESS, end just below

these short stockings for some time.
and one New York shop imported a
few last year. The proprietor tells an
amusing story to account for his first
purchase. A young woman from
fashionable private school, making her
summer purchases of hosiery added
few pairs of boys socks which she de-
clared she intended to wear on hot
days. She displayed her novel pur
chase to her schoolmates. ard the next
day they tiocked down to the store and
bought every boys sock in the place.
The proprietor sent out and bought
more small socks. all he could get of
the required quality. and the school
