The old adage of “the higher the
fewer” was not meant to apply to
skirts and stockings, says he Phoenix
Research Bureau, in reviewing hos-
iery production for the past two doz-
en years. The great shrinkage in
skirt lengths is undoubtedly respon-
sible for the manifold increase in the
silk stocking output.
Way back in 1904, when women’s
the floor by a scant
and only 504,780 pairs of silk hose
were manufactured a year.
By 1914, when skirts had shrunk
ten inches from the floor and shoes
were diminished to mere oxfords, it
became apparent that women had not
only ankles but legs, and stockings
soon became something more than a
receptacle for Santa Claus’ favors
once a year. The demand for good-
looking silk hose increased until the
output was 28,200,800 pairs a year.
Now, with almost half a yard be-
tween the hem-line and terra firma
even knees are in a somewhat tick-
lish situation, and the stocking has
become the most important item in
the woman’s wardrobe. Not only
must they be silk, they must be for
the most part full-fashioned and of
three inches, stockings didn’t matter |a hue to match or contrast smartly
