STOCKING!

WASTER?

that is to say, do you buy

a pair of stockings da you want them, wear them, hole them, then throw them away?

Or do you buy stockings na carefully as you do your hats- choosing the weight according

to the occasion, examining them carefully for rings and similar defects, insisting on good finish, and taking at least two pairs of the same colour?

If you're in the first category, it is safe to say your stocking bill is extravagantly high and that, more often than not, your legs are badly dressed. If in the secund, you pro- bably make half a dozen pairs last eight or nine months and can always put your hand on the right stock- ings for the right occasion.

Since ladders are the greatest bug-

"Do'a" bear, here are a few "Don'ts" which will go far to stave, off catastrophe, and save you pounds) in the course of a year:

DO:

1. Buy the right weight. Service weight is essential for country wear;; semi-service for the office; for day- time festive occasions net a semi- sheer; and choose sheer for the even- tup.

Remember to take your rings off and beware of a broken nail when putting your hose on; and roll themi to the ankle when taking them off.

3.

Choose full-fashioned stockings with generous toe and heel rein forcements.

4. See that the suspender tops are at least three inches in depth. Trp to get those with a special run-stop stitch--like a line of drain threads.

5. Examine the scame closely. Dadly seron or uneven scams not nly spoil the shape of your legs but are often a cause of ladders,

Gi Wash before wearing. This gives the threads a chance to pre-; serve their clasticity.

7.

Wash after wearing and as soon

as possible. Don't rub them, squeeze them in iukewarm suds with five or six rinsing waters to follow. Never put them in very hot or very cold water. Roll them in a towel, to dru them partly and prevent unsightly streaks, then hang them on a lie to dry at an even temperature.

8. Give them a chance by having TOILT shoe heels relined regularly with chamois leather; or wear heel grips. This will prevent rubbing. DON'T:

1

Don't buy stockings that are too short or too long. The former may casily become the cause of c serious foot complaint and in any case will cause your feet to ache and burn, especially the toes; the latter will cause you agony by wrinkling and creasing beneath your feet. In either case, you'll get holes quickly.

2. Don't carelessly jaten your suspender below the reinforcement at the top. It is practically impos- sible to avoid a ladder if you do. Kale Carr

FOR THE NURSING MOTHER

Both before and after the birth of her children, a mother needs plenty | of simple, easily digested nourish- meat to meet the extra demands Inade upon her system.

Doctors and nurses know that Horlicks is an kleat food for both expectant and, nursing mothers. Not only Is it extremely palatable and easy to take, but it promotes sound sleep and prevents morning sickness. Horlicks, moreover, provides the extra nourishment nursing mothers need. It is invaluable where the digestive powers are weak, and tends te prevent constipation.

In these dieult times of anxiety and worry, the task of carrying on and doing work which must be done is a doubly difficult one which must tend to exhaust one's nervous energy. Horlicks builds up strength, vitality and prevents that listlessness and tiredness caused by constant nervous strain. II. M. Hodges, 400-408, Asia Life Building, Hongkong.

After all, children can't sk still all day-though I have asked Freddie not te play in that shed. But, I mean, it might happen to any of us-a cut, a little scratch! Tell me what is one to do ?"

There is only one way to prevent their invasion; they must be killed-at once. "Dettol,' the Modern Antiseptic, can be applied immediately; there are directions on every bottle. This thorough killer of germs is gentle and icnder on human tissues. Non- poisonous and non-staining to the skin, yet death to germs. 'Dettol' promptly used may save you untold pain and danger.
