SEX APPEAL ENTERS
PARIS SOX BUSINESS

Paris-A new sex-appeal sox shop
has opened here, with its sales girls
acting as mannequins. When not wait
ing on customers they parade up and
down the shop, lifting their skirts to
show dimpled knees incased in the fin
est silk mesh, and even being more
daring in demonstrating the non-run
garter top.
Statistics prove beyond dispute that
more men buy women's hose than wo-
men do, and the new shop is proving
the mecca of tired business men at the
end of a restless day. Soft-cushioned
chairs are provided, and the obliging
petite Parisiennes will remove their
hosiery at the suggestion of a client
who would like her to try the newer
hairnet mesh for evening.
Beach and resort wear hosiery is ex-
hibited with sandals hat reveal each
toe carefully and %suavely encased in
silk, matching a similar pair of gloves.
Thus fingers and toes are clad impair
TALLY, and when short gloves are worn,
the individual toe hoes also are ankle
length.
A monogram sometimes appears on
the instep and the reverse of the hand,
in which case the sandal has one strap
around the ankle and another just
across the base of the toes, to permit
the decoration to show without being
hampered by the shoes.
With the hosiery trade being given
a new impetus by the sex appeal sox
shop, the proprietors are considering
opening a chain of stores on the Con-
%tinent, with a possible exclusive shop
in America.
"This is No. 329 l am wearing,
whole silk-even the tops, you can be-
lieve me-and your wife will like
them," says mannequin as she wends
her way past the lolling surveyors of
the ''sex sox' and lifts just a bit of
her black gown to give weight to her
words.

Nine and never felt better in my life,'
another may say. The only rules Of the
house are that prospective customers
must no feel the silk.
