The time-worn joke of woman's hiding
her valuables in her stockings opened a
wide field to the manufacturer of garters.
The hose supporter now carries all sorts of
receptacles for holding numberless articles
which are not safe in the hand, or which
are useful when the vanity bag is not in
commission. The latest Partisan novelty
is pink garter adorned with a pink chif-
fon rose, from which hang many little
buds, one of which contains a powder puff,
and another a wee bag of rice powder. Soft
suede pocket books In delicate pink or blue
are attached to round hose supporters and
afford a wonderfully safe means of carry
ing bills. or jewelry
The new garters are marvels in chiffon,
pompadour ribbon, lace and hand painting
and all have sachet powder concealed in
some part of their makeup. February
bride has received seven yellow garters, all
In different design, and each one accom-
panied with the request that 1t be worn on
the wedding day. SO that the sender may
be the next friend to enter wedlock. One
of these hose supporters is covered with
shlrrings of yellow satin ribbon and fas-
tened with diamond buckle Another is
buiit of yellow satin decorated with hand
painted forSet-me-nots, and joined with
bunch of the tiny velvet blossoms Still
another is made from shirrings of orange
tafetas and edged on either side with
graduated ruffies of pinked -taffetas. This
is finished with huge bow of ribbon.
Flowers, made of narrow satin ribbon,
are employed as roSettes. Particularly
fetching is a rosette of lemon satin ribbon
each loop tied at the point to simulate the
petal of a flower. From this innumerahle
knotted ends of lemon satin ribbon are de-
pended. American beauty red or peach
pink are also popular shades for making
these effective rosettes for garters in the
same color. White satin ribbon brocaded
with lavender velvet vioets formed a
sachet bag along the strap of a pair of side
base supporters and where il Joined the
rubber straps for the clasps a bunch of
violets dangled from lavender silk twist
The straight front corset with hose sup
porters attached has proved the undoing
of the round garter, except a ieweled
accessory or pocket receptacle. Paris has
long sent over corsets with strips of silk
elastic attached to the front and sides.
Each strip has two long ends of narrow
satin ribbon, and miladi of means has silk
loops sewed on each pair of her stockings,
through which these satin ribbons are tied.
This prevents tearing and fraying of very
sheer silk and Isle hose, and is a wonder
fully secure method of keeping stockings In
place
Women who do not like to trust the Sc
ourity of their stockings to side supporters
alone have round garters which they fasten
just below the knee to prevent stoppage of
circulation. Many ~of these garters have
curious and truly remarkable clasps. One
pair of round garters has for its fastening
a glass clasp which reveals tiny of
spades. Crystal often protects choice minia-
lures which are encircled with jewels.
