ITINERANT MENDING
A novelty in hosiery is a chiffonweight stocking that has ingeniously concealed in its hem a unit of mending fabric and a self-threading needle! The particular novelty lies in the fact that the mending material is in mesh form, easily raveled when needed, and, because of its being a fabric rather than single strands, it never becomes knotted or matted. This extra piece, attached as it is to the inner open section of the welt, is washed as often as the stocking, so that there is no possibility of the mending material and the tissue of the stQcking being a degree different in tone.
The self-threading needle also provided with this hosiery novelty is attached to the tag of each new pair of stockings, and can be easily carried iji one’s pursie or vanity bag, for convenient emergency use.
