HOSIERY is a

subtle accessory

The Lucile shades in HOLEPROOF HOSIERY are unquestionably subtle and smart

IT TAKES a sensitive eye to choose the subtly correct colour in hosiery. But all smart women realize its per fection when they see it worn. That's why Lucile's shades in Holeproof are such a hoon.-

Lucile of Paris, both colour and fashion expert, creates for each costume colour of the season just the one perfect shade in Holeproof Hosiery. Her authoritative advice is being welcomed by smart women everywhere. And Holeproof's long wearing quality is also welcomed by them. They bless the "Ex" reinforcement at the toe as they wear each pair of rich natural silk hose mouths longer.
