the georgetown herald wednesday evening july 16th 1941 timely topics for womeh by barbara baines no silk stockings for canadian women many of the worlds best dressed women are today giving meat of their thne and thought to fax more serious things than the clothes they but for decades stockings hae loomed very large in the lne ol most women a survey made a couple of years ago showed that the average business girl in america spent more on silk stockings than she did on hats or purses and gloves or lingerie and almost as much as she did on shoes but the fine silk hose to which we have so long been accustomed are a luxury in time at war in more than one famous riviera resort resplendent in happier days with the latest rashions society women now clatter down the streets stockhigless in wooden shoes in britain women have of necessity to dispense with all frills and for six months now the sale of silk hose has been banned entirely wo- ipen in uniform are required to wear stockings which are now of cotton or ijle but many women are going stocklngless to asve coupons for more important items of clothes as a result of this bare leg fashion there has been a boom in woment slacks which are now worn in offices de partment stores and on the streets as well as in the factories britain has available however some fine hosiery yarns of cotton and rayon which make very goodsubstitutes for silk and recently due to a new discovery rayon for stockings underwear and knitted goods is being made from seaweed of which there ls an almost lnexhaustable supply around the hebrides to be bad just for the picking it is non inflammable and cheapi and besides saves shipping space for more essential raw ma terlals the december budget sounded the death knell to silk stockings in canada too at least until the war is oer beginning march 1st can adlan hosiery mills were required to reduce the amount of silk used by 25 and on june 1st by a further 50 mills with all silk hose on hand were asked to reserve them for export sale to add to the supply of much needed foreign exchange and now the mills are faced with the problem of how best to pro vide hosiery of substitute materials that will be acceptable to the wearers nylon the latest of chemical wonders manufactured from a base of coal tar makes sheer fine hosiery that most uomen enjoy wearing but it is scarce the yam used is imported from the- united states and therefore restricted and the new canadian mill being built at kingston to produce this artificial fabric will not be in full production until the beginning of the year and een then all njlon may be requisitioned for parachutes and so the mills have to rely upon using an increased proportion of cotton and rajon at first hose were made with pure silk legs and the tops and feet which do not show of cotton now they are making stock lnf legs of composite varus that is yarn in which fine filaments of real silk are twisted with filaments of raon and the tops and feet of cotton if jou liae been shopping for hose recently ou will hae seen them in the stores naturallj the do not compare with the beautiful silk hose for which canada was justly famous but still they axe quite attractive in appearance and reasonably serviceable care must be taken however when washing them silk is as strong when wet as when dry but not so rajon so thej should be handled gently and are best dried bj patting them in a towel canada has all the rau materials essential to the manufacture of rajon thread and we are fortunate to tune a textile industry sufficiently well developed to meet th requirements so canadian women will not be forced to adopt the stocklngless fashion the primary need of the government in placing restrictions on the manufacture of silk hose is the urgent need of conserving the avail able empire supplyuox slk for use in the war industries and in addition to curtail expenditure on goods of tile luxury- type and to conserve foreign exchange canadian women will miss their beautiful silk hae and yet it is not so mam years since onl the very wealthj wore silk and the rest were wellcontent with cotton stockings in summer and woollen ones in winter we are fortunate to be able to obtain such fine substitutes and a year hence the women wearing silk hosiery will in wiiiv h shunned as being selfish and unpatriotic

enough food to keep him from being hungry then a generation or more ago it was discovered that foods were divided into proteins carbohydrates fats and minerals and that an adequate supply of each was
