Isle Hose

BY JOAN DEAN

SIO(htNG VI on SlOCkinBS

America right after the embargo

police protection was needed to
quell the near riots.
But just as suddenly sales
went back 10 normal. The Amer
lean women realized that never
had they been let down by the
manufacturer and they wouldn't
be now.
Since 1889. when Lee Williams
invented the knitting machine IN

knitted stockings have been

women started thinking how
outdated they would look in the
beige hosiery they were trying
10 horde when their sisters
stepped forth in the newest
colors in Isle and synthetic
silks.
A CHECK of retail stores In
the Detroit area bears out the
fact that the American manu-
facturer is alert 10 the ever
changing conditions and is just
one step ahead OF the needs of
the people.

right now on stocking counters

Isle thread so thin that II is
almost as sheer as silk lends
itself much more readily to the
fancy weave which means stripes
and intricate patterns never be-
fore imagined in hosiery.
If YOU just must have silk,
the stores are ready TO provide

And then. there is nylon

Nylon, YOU know, has been

something women have wanted

AND NOW for Fall they have
completed a color range in the
high Autumn shades TO delight
YOUR heart. II is truly TO be a
gay and colorful showing if
skirts remain short. and they
have every indication of do
ing so.
Wool. too. will play an impor-

as satisfactory for sport and
