CARE OF SILK STOCKINGS.
For tho first washing of silk stockings use a weak solution of vinegar and water j this will prevent the colour from growing pale and fading away with constant laundering. Choose a very fine silk mending, exactly the shade of your stockings, and run neat little criss-cross darns across the flat of the heel and underneath the ball of the foot Never hang stockings to dry in the sun! it is hettet, also to peg them by the top than by the toes. It nearly always pays to have ladders repaired by a firm, who specalise in that sort of thing, but if you do pick tip ladders at home remember always to darn from bottom to top, and iron afterwards with a moderately hot iron to prevent puckers
