BRIGHT WOOLS, LISLE, GO NORTH AND SOUTH
“A rush of colored legs is likely to be encountered anywhere this year. These wool hose are being worn for skiing with the new short ski skirts, for outdoor skating, and for all casual wear with country tweeds. Youngsters may substitute them for the knee length hose they loved but many boys hated. Older women who blushed at the thought of naked knees are pouncing on them because they are gay and practical. The vivid lisle hose with matching gloves are the giddiest note at southern resorts, day and night.”

“But if you do not find an intelligent companion, a wise and well-behaved person going the same way as yourself, then go on your way alone, like a king abandoning a conquered kingdom, or like a great elephant in the deep forest.”
