NylOn Hose Talk
Is Not RatiOned
By Nancy Kennickell

"They Have Returned" says
War Production Board, and this
has brought on much more talk,
particularly among the ladies.
Maybe for the past week you've
seen women huddled in small
groups leaning over counters.
Well, don't let your imagination
run away with you, they aren't
BUYING nylons, they're just
TALKING about thew. 1t is a
question for debate, as to whether
or not the War Production Board
did the ladies a favor when they
released nylon fabrics. Now,
some women can talk of little
else. Bare legs for summer may
still remain in style but lovely
sheer hose for the fall and winter
months are definitely on the way
back in. Men who have dis
creetly left off remarks about the
stocking situation will be expect
ed to stage comeback on re-
marks on the 'best dressed wom-
en- of America"
Mrs. Earl Davidson, of David
sons Store, who has dealt in hos
iery for the past few years, is
rather skeptical about the date of
the release of nylons. "Excited?'
She said. well, not too much,
but if 1 had my choice of turkey
or nylons for Thanksgiving, you
could be sure I'd take the nvlons. !"

office, gave sigh of relief as she
said, I'm just glad they're back.
Women have really suffered in
appearance these past few years.
If a woman is we'll dressed and has
to wear unattractive hose, it
makes her feel as if her appear
ance isn't what it should be-
Mrs. Clint Goodman refused to
get excited when asked what she
thought about the return of nylons
to store counters. 1--WE worn ray
ons for four years and l suppose
l can wait a little longer. Christ
mas is a long way off yet, and
something may turn up between
now and then to prevent their re-
turn to the ladies'"
Mrs. Walter Tucker, of Belk's
Department Store, although she
is quite happy that nylons are to
return soon, said, II can think
about now nice 1t is although l
am of the opinion it will be a good
while before nylons actually
reach the market"
''I've worked all summer to get
this sun TAM said Miss Nena Barr,
who recently graduated from the
Woman's College of the Univer-
sity of North Carolina, ''and Pm
sure it will last until Christmas.
Guess I can do without nylons I'M
til then, anyway"
Everyone is anxiously awaiting
the day when our fighting men
and all our pre-war luxuries will
be back home again. Surely no
one would complain if Santa filled
that rayon stocking full of nylons
for Christmas.
