Planning Your Hosiery Wardrobe
Nes Stockings Variety of Occasions

In other years this would be
the season for fashion writer's to
start putting forth every avail
able adjective to describe the Sc
lection OF spring hosiery. Today,
however, instead of enthusiastic
accounts of new colors and rec
concentrations of assorted shades
TO wear with each outfit. the
style reporters are concentrating
on stockings for every need, with
emphasis on the practical angle.
Just as the rest of our ward
robes have been cut down to a
minimum, stockings have fol-
lowed suit. There is practically
no diversified color range, for
manufacturers are allotted only
limited quantities of yarn and are
restricted to four shades. It is
only practical, then, to stick to
the tried-and- true beige tones
which combine we'll with clothes
of almost every color. There has
been some Importance given to
black stockings and opaque tones,
but these are not expected to
rival the classic beige shades for
all occasions.
Having finally made up our
minds that nylons just don't exist
and silks are likewise practically
extinct. we have turned with a
more philosophical attitude to-
ward rayons. They have i'm
proved considerably since their
debut and there now are some
excellent ones that fit well, wear
well and look almost as sheer as
the stockings of the past. Those
made with celanese yarn are at
tracing attention, for they take
dyes extremely we'll and are suf-
hclently elastic to give good serv-
ice. These are said to dry in
IA hours, whereas 48 hours is the
required time for most rayons,
In planning hosiery wardrobes,
special needs must be taken in
consideration, and manufacture
ers have, indeed, tried to pro-
vide a suitable variety. For in
stance, rayons and isles, many of
them in mesh patterns, are de-
signed for street wear with suits.
These are extremely durable,
since mesh does not run and the
new yarns are pleasantly snag-
resistant. LiSles with rayon re-
Inducements are designed for the
country jewellers or for those
who are doing war work. Even
the heavier woman has been con-
sidered and there are rayons with
extra elasticity and cotton tops
for her. Many regular rayons, in
fact, are equipped with cotton
tops and soles, not only to rein
force them, but also to conserve

For gardeners, 1943 is more
than just another year. 1t holds
much that is different from 1912.
and more serious. The need for
food Is apt to be serious. II
offers a very real challenge to
those who have suitable soil and
the time in which to grow vege-
tables. At the same time there
Is the necessity of maintaining
our flowers and lawns. Morale
Is food, too, food for the mind,
and 1t Is needed in wartime.
Vegetable growing is going to
receive a great deal of attention
this spring and summer, perhaps
too much. There is a very real
danger of wasting seed, fertilizer
and spray materials when there
Is none to be wasted. No doubt
some who have neither the expert
ence, a fertile soil, nor the time,
will attempt a. vegetable garden.
Others will try to grow more than
they have the time or strength to
carry through. The results of
both will be negligible.
On the other hand every good
vegetable garden will be a con-
tribution to the individual and to
the Nation. 1t will put food
where 1t Is needed-at the point
OF consumption and so save over
burdened railroads, and tin and
labor, for commercial canning. In
other words, from the national
viewpoint home gardens are a
very important cog in the l943
food production program. OF
course, you and I, who have seen
the empty shelves in the grocery
store, heard the reports about
rationing, and felt the pinch of
higher prices need no urging to
grow a garden. But let's grow a.
good garden, one that will keep
the table supplied from early
spring until late fall, and provide
plenty for canning and storing
for next winter. Let's grow our
vegetables we'll so that they will
be nutritious and davorsome. It
can be done by every home gar
dener with good soil and the will
to give few hours time each
week.
Our flower gardening Is apt to
be less pretentious but, never
theless, it should be well and
faithfully done, for we need flow
ers in our homes, in our offices
and in the hospitals. We shall
not have the usual fertilizer for
flowers as the Victory garden
