Dear Miss or Mrs. USA: You might just as well stop lamenting your dear-departed silk and nylon stockings, because that's all there is, there isn't any more.
 The thing to do now is dry those tears, get firm grip on yourself and prepare to be sur prised at the progress that has been made in improving rayon stockings. From now on. you know, you're going to be wearing rayons whether you like it or not, unless you prefer to paint your legs and that still seems trifle chilly for winter. You may, of course, adopt heavy ribbed and mesh wools and cottons for sports and country wear, but you'll still need rayons for dress. So you'd better learn how to get the most for your money.
 Insist On Fit
 In the first place. you must re- member that it's most important to buy the correct foot size and leg length in rayon hosiery - it hasn't as much elasticity as silk or nylon, and to look well it must fit perfectly. When rayon stretches it stays stretched until it's washed. so if your foot is slender, you pro- bably will take a half size smaller than you have been buying in ny lon. For the same reason, avoid too-long hose, and be sure you buy stockings with deep double welt or adjustable top, to give you lee way for tightening your garters, if necessary.
 Make sure that the stockings have sufficient reinforcement at toe, heel and sole Many rayon stockings have cotton reinforce ments at toe and heel If your feet perspire, it is wise to buy these, as rayon is weakened when damp.
 Dry Thoroughly
 Rayon stockings, like all others,

give better service if they are washed immediately after wear ing. Don't try to wash rayon hose at night and wear them the next morning. Buy enough so that you can alternate wear, and ALLOW TWO FULL DAYS for the stock ings to become thoroughly dry after
 washing.
 In selecting the weight you de- sire in the new rayon hose, you will have to learn a new set of terms, different from those used in describing silk. Sheerness in silk stockings was determined by the number of threads twisted together to make the knitting yarn -2-thread was very sheer, 3-thread slightly heavier, and so on. In rayon stockings, a single thread of selected size determines the sheer ness. The term used to denote the thread size is denier," pronounced "denyer.' A given length of 50- denier thread would weigh 50 ounces, the same length of 75- denier thread would weigh 75 ounces. The higher the denier, the heavier the weight of the stocking. These comparisons will help when you are buying rayon hose:
 50 denier rayon is comparable in
 sheerness to to ] thread in
 silk.
 75 denier rayon-5 to 6 thread silk. 100 denier rayon-7 thread silk The size of the knitting stitch also contributes to the weight and sheerneSs. This factor is defined as gauge" and is used in con- nection with rayons in exactly the same way as it was with silk A 45-gauge is standard, 42-gauge is used in heavier stockings and extra sheer stockings are knit in fine gauge, 48 or 51.
 One of the biggest improve ments in rayon stockings has been achieved by increasing the twist of the yarn, to give the desired dull, crepey appearance and inn

Few individuals have reapcd such
harvest as that produced by the unSeltiSh,
untiring laborS of Martha McChesney
Berry When. forty years ago, this daugh-
ter of a wealthy farmer in Rome Georgia,
turned over the major portion Of her in
heritance and several thousand acres of
her estate for the purpose of raising a
"nighty sight better CROP then TIE land
had ever produced, even she could hardly
have visualized the fruitage.
Today the graduates Of the schools
built upon the Berry estate number many
thousand intelligent. capable men and
women, among them teachers. ministers,
farm agents, nurses, doctors, and law
yers, who might have remained illiteratc
mountaineers but for this opportunity
afforded them for free academic and
practical education. The Sunday Lady
of Possum Trot," as many will remem-
Der her, saw in the children OF the noun
tain sections Of the South what she called
one of Americas greatest ratural re-
sources, and her life was one of unstint-
ing devotion to the development Of those
resources.
