Paper gloves and stockings are now

Paper gloves and stockings are now
being manufactured in Europe. The
stockings have been carefully ex-
amined by experts. and they are loud
in their praise of them. They will last
almost as long as ordinary stockings.
The reason is because the paper of
which they are made was, during the
process of manufacture, transformed
into substance closely resembling
wool. and was then woven and treated
as ordinary wool.
