SELECTING OUR NEW HOSIERY
Correspondent Offers Some Timely
Advice as to Care and Selection
of Silk Stockings.

Well, one thing is certain, if we ego
about with our eyes Open" as the old
saying goes, 1--WE are bound to learn"
This old adage came closely home the
other day, writes a correspondent,
when 1 was selecting new hosiery and,
like every one else, kicking, not only
at the skyrOcket prices asked for
stockings, but also voicing a few
sentiments regarding the wear, which
seems not to be in keeping with the
prices.
The saleswoman then told me that
if one really wished to get wear out
of silk hose, before wearing the hose
should be rinsed thoroughly in cold
water and that stockings should never
be worn two days in succession with
out being washed in cold water. In
fact, she said that silk stockings
should never be washed in hot wa
tcr, because 1t ruined the silk.
Another bit of advice was not to
buy more stockings than one required

The nation, like others, has leaned

must come to the young brain when it
knows that it must depend upon moth

wide oasis of space.
We did not get this feeling when
the war broke, because two or three
thousand gowns were assembled in

CHAPTER VII.
Rations.


Just doing off; Mr.. Lance Corporal
butted in.
In TOmmy's eyes lance corporal Is
one degree below a private. In the
cOrporals eyes he is one degree above
a general.
He ordered me to go with him and
help him draw the next days rations,
also told me to take my waterproof.
Every evening, from each platoon or
nachine-gun section lance corporal
and private go to the quartermaster
sergeant at the company stores and
draw rations for the following day.
The quarter" as the quartermaster
sergeant Is called, receives daily from
the orderly room Captains office) a
slip showing the number of men en-
titled to rations, so there is no chance
Of putting anything over on him. Many
arguments take place between the
quarter" and the platoon nOncom, but
the former always wins out. Tommy
says the quarter" got his job because
he was n burglar in civil life.
Then spread the waterproof sheet
on the ground, while the quartermas-
ter's batman dumped the ratlons on it.
The corporal was smoking a fag. l
carried the rations back to the billet.
The corporal was still smoking a flag.
How envied him. But when the issue
commenced my envy died, and real
izcd that the first requisite Of n non
commissioned officer on active service
is diplomacy. There were 10 men in
our section, and they soon formed
semicircle around us after the corporal
had called out, "Rations up"
The quartermaster sergeant haG
given a slip to the corporal on which
was written list of the rations. Su
ting on the floor, using a wooden b0A
rs Il table, the issue commenced. On
the left of the corporal the rations
were piled. They consisted of the fol
lowing:
