To Protect Silk Hose

Everyone who wears silk stockings
knows how easily they wear out, and
one clever girl whose needs do nor ut
her pocketbook has found that by knit

wear them, and thus protect her fragile
hosiery OF silk, These feet are made
Just so they cover the sole. and extend
only slightly over the foot that they
may be worn with slippers and yet not
be seen. The idea is good. because
homemade stockings are Of much better
quality than are the maChine-Inade va

idea says that her gOssameT hose last

PRUN7Y CRIES
But Later Composes Himself

Amounts Stolen.

PARKERsBURG, Nov 1910. j.
Prunty, of smithburg. Doddridge

county yesterday by Constable Eot>
son, OF West Union, to face charge
of embezzling $2is of the money of
the Mutual Life Insurance Company
of New York, of which he was the
Doddrldge county agent.
1t was the intention Of the authori-
ties to arraign him at once on the
charge and unless matters can be
satisfactorily arranged 1t is quite
probable that Prunty will be bound
over to the grand jury. The young
man comes of good family and
those who know of the case are at a
loss to understand his actions.
Prunty cried like child while in
jail Monday night, but yesterday he
was more composed.
