When the glamour girls in Holly-
wood, chic collegians on the coun-
try’s campus and dsahing debts from
cafe society get solidly behind a new
style, it’s a sure-fire , fashion that
will catch on like a house ablaze,
for these three groups are acknowl-
edged style-setters from coast to
coast.
These American glamour girls
have gone “all-out” for cotton
stockings in this wartime crisis, and
from here in there will be no winc-
ing as feminine lovelies cover their
shapely legs in cotton. Why no
wincing? Because feminine Amer-
ica has discovered that the modem,
streamlined version of cotton hose
has been completely glamourized.
Cotton stockings today are as
“oompy” as a John Powers model.
Sheer and lovely. They are a far-cry
from the baggy, crinkly looking
cotton hose of not- so many years
ago. *
Even after repeated washings, the
new-type cotton hose will hold their
shape and will leave no ugly fuzzi-
ness. According to the American
•Institute of Laundering, testing
authority for textile manufacturers
and professional laundries through-
out the country, they wash beauti-
fully and will wear like iron. .
Cotton stockings have been the
particular pets of scientists working
in the interest of hosiery manufac-
turers, with the result that there are
now more than 150 designs on the
market. Varying from web-like
mesh- for formal wear, sheers for
daytime and sturdy hose for spors-
wear. They are shown in a wide var-
iety of patterns and colors.
To keep stockings from getting
fuzzy, faded or wrinkled, they must
be laundered properly. The tested
recipe of the laundering experts
calls for separation of the hose, ac-
cording to color. Light colors are
put in one group, the darker shades
in another. Bright color hose such
as reds, blues and greens (and they
are very popular right now) are
classified in separate groups and
laundered according to color.
Soft water is used and the temp-
erature ie not allowed to exceed 100
degrees Fahrenheit, the equivalent
of “lukewarm” water. A rich suds
is whipped up and the stockings
whisked through them. Cotton
stockings can stand more vigorous
treatment than silk or nylon hose.
Suds are squeezed from the stock-
ings and five complete changes of
soft, lukewarm water used fear rins-
ing. They should be dried in-nor-
mal temperature. In professional
laundries, cotton stockings are
placed on heated hose farms where
they are shaped and dried at the
same time.
An important point suggested by
the American Institute of Launder-
ing ts to btiy* cotton hoscr about a
half-size Mger, for they are sub-
Acclaimed one of the most suc-
cessful game tournaments ever
