Are you one of the thousands of women who turns her stockings inside-out? Sure, you do it because you discovered that the wrong side makes the average stocking look sheerer, duller and more snag resistant.

At last this mystery has been solved! The solution, is "INSIDE- OUT" HOSIERY-knit the Modern Way for the modern women. Yes, actually knit "inside-out", these stockings give that softly dull complexion all women love --- but with the seam on the inside where it belongs and with no unsightly, scraggy threads to worry

about.
