Calf Bindings THE bewildering upward climb of fashion, skirt-bottoms still outdistance shoetops by several inches of stocking. But vanished are the ankles we used to see in the good old days of pumps: strange and bolder things have ac- quired a place in the sun Equally heightened are the colors of the stockings. Instead of the convens tional blac! which is now considered foo conven- / tional, there is every shade / from chaste white to the loudest hue and cry. Bev- erage tints, especi PRI in vogue—chocolate, ca au-lait, lemonade, o phosphate, claret punch. One even sees girls whose tight bdot-tops overflow with champagne. But the most popular tint of flesh color; for that obviates the ity of darning. Although this stocking tapestry which separates the boots from the skirt is only a mere go-between, it is by no means content to bloom unnoticed. It arrests the eye with dazzling designs, erotic embroidery, and pulsing plaids. To enhance the scenic effect, it may even have a pantalette sky-drop. What a rare profusion of flowers is here offered to the view!—silken fleurs-de- spangled rosette clusters, luxuriant shin vines, hardy dropstitch runners. Veritable garden hose! Nothing so brings home to one the fact that it will soon be Spring as these limbs in blossom. He who is perfect in his own mind gen erally possesses an imperfect: mind. Se Pockets POCKET is that compartment of a garment which is never occupied by any part of the body except the hand. Hands are not supposed to wear pockets; they are merely put into pockets when they are secking matches, tobacco, weapons, money, or any of the other things which annoying habits lead men to carry around with them Pockets enable people to carry around paraphernalia for every conceivable pur- pose. All kinds of tools, manicure sets, handkerchiefs, pens, pencil ver, letters, books, watches, frequently repose in pockets. Even money sometimes reposes in pockets, * facility although its repose is apt to be fitful and broken. The contents of a small boy’s pockets are odds and ends, meaning that it is odd where the contents ends. On a man’s garments the pockets are always made where their contents will cause a prominent and unsightly protuberance. A woman's pockets may be placed over any remote and seldom-frequented portion of the anatomy. Some women have to go into lusion when they wish to go into their pockets. The wise dressmaker places a female pocket where, with the aid of a handkerchief stuffed into it, it will fill out a hollow spot. In the interests of perfect symmetry every woman should have two pockets and carry two handkerchiefs. Ignoring Human Nature EVERY LEARNED physician in Eng- land has broken out in an unprofes- sional fit over the possibility of love leading to ncurasthenia and insanity, and predispos- ing to tuberculosis. Such calamities are in- deed frightful to think about, especially when the medico-publicists strike the trail If the dear old doctor had spent as much time in the study of human nature as he has evidently lost in the contemplation of germ gymnastics, he ought, with a little news paper training, to improve wonderfully on y of his. eases known to man that rather tame st About the only: d that have not signified their willingness to follow in the wake of the love bug are ingrow ing nails and efficiency. Love leads to any- thing, everything, or nothing; according the temperament, digestion, and subsequent luck of the victim, Love predisposes to imps. murder, and matrimony with equal comicbooks.com
