SILK STOCKINGS NAY

everybody knows the large hole q
pair of embroidered silk stockings
will make in a $40 bill, but when to
the embroidery is added lace insertion
with the design picked out in seed
pearls the price scars beyond the
reach of most workaday people.
A recent bride received from one Of
her girl friends just such pair of
white silk stockings, and although
they looked like an extravagant GIT,
the amount Of money expended Was
comparatively small. Deft fingers

worked the transformation Of a pair
of plain white silk stockings into an
exquisite bridal gift.
In the f-st place one dollar and a
half bought a good quality OF STOCK

sertion was set in front of the stock

to half way up the leg. This was
buttonholed to the stocking with
white embroidery silk and the mater

This remark attracted my attsn-
ton to table nearby where four
young people were eating luncheon,
and saw that they were laughing at
a pretty young woman seated at an
other table.
That they knew her was evident.
Tor l could hear at intervals criti-
cism of her manners, dress, rela-
lives and home; some harmless
enough but a great deal of it decid-
edly vulgar and unkind. The two
Toung fellows at the table were in.
slined to defend the girl, but the
laughter and gibes of the other girls
finally caused them to laugh also.
To be sure her table manners
we're none of the best, and her
clothes. although evidently costly,
were rather dowdy and ill-chosen,
but l wondered, as 1 compared her
with the other four, which were
really the more vulgar.
1t seemed to me that the girls who
ridiculed her and gave the men
chance to laugh at her were far more
ll-bred than she. for their vulgarity
came from lack Of kindly feeling,
while hers came from ignorance.
This spirit is often brought into
the business office, where the girls,
thinking to attract the attention OF
the male members of the STAFF of
clerks, offer caustfc and as they
think witty but more generally ILL.,
natured remarks about the other
girls in the Office.
