Hosiery.

In this day of silk stockings women
have taken very favorably to full
fashioned hosiery. The reasons are
plain enough. The latest styles and
colors are seen first In fuil-fashioned
hosiery, because it appeals to women
who follow styles. What woman
doesn't like to have her stockings
snart:y fitting?
Full.fashioned hosiery is knitted
fat in shapes which conform to the
different leg types. When it's sewed
together It has the natural lines of
the leg and foot. Two selvage edges
along the back are reinforced to give
greates strength (Splicing, by the
way, should come well up over your
shoe tops. because friction Is hardest
at these points.
While shopping for hosiery You have
probably been attracted by the more
comfortable toes in the full fashioned
stockings. You'H notice, too, that they
don't sag at the ankles. The lash
ioning serves TO make them more
elastic than other hose, and they stay
up better. The seam at the back stays
in alignment much better than the
mock seam of seamless hosiery. and
adds to the general neatness Of appear
ance of the full-fashioned stocking.
The foot of the stocking conforms
to the natural curves of the foot. This
fact makes wear more comfortable
and avoids friction, which wears out
the fabric. The stocking il made 10
narrow down from the top. and IT
fits the upper part of the limb with
out stretching or binding.
F'ull-fashioned hosiery costs more
than others, because it is usually
made up In fine fabrics. and 1t Is
somewhat more expensive 10 make.
The tineneSS of the stocking Is meas.
ured by It's gauge. The gauge is the
number of meshes TO the inch. The
best silk yarns are made up in very
fine gauges. but they seldom prove
to be very durable. If you want long
wearing qualities. buy yarns that
aren't too fine.
The two most popular ways "f
dyeing stockings are III the grain ana
dipping. American women have been
partial to the ingram silk hosiery
because 1t has a firm, crisp luster.
Ingram means dyed in the thread.
The pure-dye silk stocking has been
dipped in after knitting. 1t feels
softer to the skin. but lacks the lus-
tire Of ingram hosiery
The life of good stocking depends
upon the way in which you use 1t

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
Calling It a "Cruller."

The cruller takes it's name from
its popular shape. which Is like a
curl. You may make the cruller to-
day in various shapes, but it's origi-
nal form, for which the two ends OF
the dough are twisted or "curled
together. is perpetuated in its name
For "cruller," coming to us from
the Danish "kruller" (meaning
cruller). has the same derivation as
curl" In Swiss dialect "krulla"
means both "curr' and 'crisp." But
it is directly to the Danish deriva-
ton of our word curl that we trace
the source Of "cruller," the connec-
ton being the curled form Of this
gastronomic delight.
Our Inheritance of the cruller it
self, as well as its name, is credited
to the Dutch, its debut as an Amer
lean institution being placed in old
New York in the time Of the Dutch
settlers.

Knoxville, Tenn.
= often have wondered If we know
the exact date of the birth of Christ,
and why we keep it on December %.
Can you aid me?
Answer.-The year OF the birth Of
.'hrist was wrongly calculated by those
who revised the calendar. Herod be-
gan 70 rebuild the temple in the eight
eenth year of his reign, which we
know now fell 20 years before tho
birth of Christ.
According to st. Johns Gospel Gi.20l,
Jesus began His ministry at Jeru-
salem 46 years after Herod began his
work on the temple. This sets the
date of the opening of ChriSt'S minis
Try at 26 y. ID.
ST. Luke, however, Gii23), says that
Jesus was 80 at the time of His bap-
tisrn. 1t would seem, therefore, that
Jesus was born i y. c., perhaps a,
year earlier, 50 that it is now 1880
years since His birth instead of 1926
Years.
Further. we know that He was not
born in December. AT the time of
His birth the tiocks were being pas
tured out OF doors at night. The
periods when this was done lay be-
tween April and October, when the
weather was warm and dry.
The celebration OF our Lords birth
in December by the early church is
probably due TO the fact that this
was the season of Il general holiday
among the Roman people, and was
thus observed by them to celebrate
ia honor of a pagan god. The Chris
tians adopted it to celebrate the birth
of their Redeemer.
1t is the birth we celebrate, not
the date, because the birth makes the
date forever memorable and helps to
remake the world.

Is the education Of adolescents too
academic?
Answer.-Yes and no. If by "aca-
demic" you mean the theoretical as
opposed to the practical I should be
inclined to say that the education OF
adolescents is often approached in the
spirit and after the method Of the
text books.
The real authorities on adolescence
are parents and teachers. They deal
with youth every day and all day.
But they seldom write books about
it, and when they read some which
are written they frequently disagree
with their authors.
On the other hand, do not hold
academic studies too cheaply. Read
the late President Stanley Halls sug
gestive volume on the entire question.
1t is brimful of thoughtful and saga
cious observations.
Organized knoWledgs Is bound to be
moro or less academic, but it should
