Associated Press Fashion Writer
NEW YORK, May 80 (AP).
- History of sorts will be
made this week when a lin
tied number of women for
the first time slip on poly
propylenes, stand back and
admire their shimmering
gams.
BY fall, when more hosiery
counters will have them, this
jaw breaker name for stock
ings made from gas may be
as com mon and trip off
tongues as easily, as the word
nylons.
Said to be four times as
warm as any fiber in exist
ence thus far, even wool, 1t is
expected to be whipped into
featherweight blankets, ski
wear, and winter coats.
Remember 1888
Not since 1898 when
women hurled their heavy
isles and wrinkled silks into
trash barrels in favor of the
then new nylons has there
been any innovations In ho-
siery fibers.
Everybody knows the i'm
pact those always coveted n.y.
Ions have had in 25 years.
They figured prominently
in black market deals, payola
investigations, even spy trials.
Indeed, even today among
Iron Curtain country women,
nylons are believed to be the
technical wonder of the West.
With this much adulation
king nylon did not need to
change much, and until re-
Gently didn't, except to
become seamless, blossom
forth in new colors, and in
crease in sheerneSs and fra
gility.
This latter peccadillo, an
inclination to run at the
catch of a hangnail, was for
a long time INDUCED as the
price women were expected to
pay for sheer leg beauty.
But then as technology be-
gan to do miraculous things
like sending men into space,
women puzzled vocally why
science could not do a simple
little thing like invent a run
less stocking?
Harder, chain stitched
mesh was preferred as partial
Salve.
Meanwhile, with cloak and
dagger secrecy of a spy movie
plot, American manufac-
turers Wed to buy up Euro
pean patents for no-run knit
processes.
Last year, with a great deal
of hoopla for which they were
sorry later, they offered them
as a panacea to the women's
long beleaguered hosiery
budget.
Unfortunately, cheaper ones
in particular developed holes
that, especially at the knee
cap, sometimes opened wide
