BEHOLD

COLONEL COLDFEET, intrepid explorer, whom the ladies adore! The Colonel has withstood suffering and privations from Pole to Pole only to meet his fate în Mrs Smith,Willys' drawing room. All the harrowing experiences of his distinguished career are naught compared with the anguish of this moment when he has just dis. covered, that the brilliance of his hosiery hardly blends with the tasteful surroundings.

Holeproof Hosiery settles once and for all the question of good taste in men's hosiery. Patterns are smart and distinctive, decidedly in fashion and in keeping with good taste. Colour combinations are wide and varied, but never jarring, never anything but pleasing even to the most critical cyc. Hole- proof Hosiery offers gentlemen of taste true smart- ness in hosiery-and long wear, too.
