LIMITING Socks for Soldiers
IN was a wartime occupation
that brought back the old-time
custom Of stockings made to
order. Now that custom is being
followed In the weaving of the
sheerest chiffon hose for women!
At very little additional cost than
a stocking taken from stock, t.
finest mills are making stocki .,
to exact measurements, so that
wearers need no longer complain
Of wrinkles at knees or ankles,
or of the hose being too long
or too short!
ElbOwing Their Way Back-into
fashion, the elbow sleeves are
now being recognized as an &C
ceptabIe style note in quite a
few of the latest afternoon frocks
and informal dinner gowns. For
the most part, sleeves are still
long, and belong to two varieties
---snugly fitting, or wide, with
softly folded cuffs.
Strikingly Striped Stockings
of medium weight Isle, imported
from England, are the smartest
mode in sports hosiery. In vari-
colored, peppermint candy strip
ings, these hose have a noncha-
liant gayety quite consistent with
the spirit of sports toggery.
