DISCARD STOCKINGS
is ADVICE TO WO zen

BOSTON, Dec. 15-If Lydia LiplSow-
ska, a Russian songbird of the Boston
Opera House, had her way, stockings
would be worn but little by women.
The fair prlma donna declares that
woman is greatly hampered in her
physical development by many un-
necessary articles of clothing.
"Now, stockings are a necessity when
one is out walking, OF visiting, OF on
the stage. but worn constantly through
the day they are. to my mind, source
of evil. Give the limbs a chance.
Don't hem them In as IL they were
prisoners that are 10 be punished. Lot
the blood circulate freely through the
veins. Put the stocking in the same
class with the corset-a necessity that
the sooner rid of the better for the
wearer.
"When at home I confess that most
of the time / am stockingless. Talk
about ease and pleasure. Women
whose limbs are encased in stockings
the whole day long know not what
real ease is. In the summer let women
go about barefooted.
"Ohl ] do not mean when visitors
are around. That would be somewhat
shocking. But as much as one pos
sibly can without breaking any Of the
conventions a woman should go about
stockingless. Just imagine a man
wearing his gloves constantly.
81 do not pose as a physical culture
expert, but common sense should
teach every woman that stockings may
be looked upon as an article of wear
that, constantly used. may become a
source of harm Women generally wear
too many clothes"
