Wrong Girdle Choice Leads ITO Ruin of Scarce HOisery

which has good snap and stretch. They have button-smooth knobs that grip without snagging. They're neither too long nor too short for easy contact with stocking tops. Too-short garters will cause stock ings to break under the strain. If garters are too long, their clasps will go below reinforced welts, which means death for another pair of hard-to-get hosiery,
 Now that you've been steered around to the kind of girdle that's kind to your stockings, their fate rests with you and how you keep 'em up.
 Don't blame anybody but your self for runs, if you clasp garters in welt openings at the back of the seams. This vent is put there to make stocking tops flexible: not to give anchorage to garters.
 When lodging your grippers at front and sides of stocking, place them where strain is equally di- vided between the garters. If tabs aren't placed on the girdle to give you this proper balance, yank them of and sew them on again.

Clues to that baffling murder mystery in which stockings are knocked of at an alarming rate often point to the wrong choice of a girdle and 8 gals faulty methods of tethering her hose.
 The wrong choice o6 girdle, of course, is one that's too short and refuses to yield when you sit or stoop. The best choice for figure control and for lowering the mor- tality rate of scarce stockings - according to corsetieres, who are as anxious as you are to avert casualties - has elastic with bi- dimensional stretch. Such elastic goes up and down as well as across the body. It yields easily when you bend and snaps back into place when you straighten up. Easy on stockings, because they stretch more in the vertical than in the horizontal direction, are the new non-run fabrics called power miracle mesh.

 An interesting bid came up the last time was in Ashev1lle. Some players might suggest an opening bid of three hearts with the West hand. That would be all right without the king of clubs, but with that card, there is sound opening bid in the hand.
 When North doubled one heart, South was forced to bid, and North's supporting bid of three diamonds set South to thinking. The double indicated strength in spades, and North also showed a it in diamonds. South therefore decided to bid three spades on his three-card suit.
