Never buy a pair of stockings—always buy two pairs at the same, and then you've got three. Haven’t you ever discarded with tears a perfectly whole stocking with a long life before it because its only companion was incurably laddered? It’s worth having another pair to adopt it, as you’ll agree when the door bell rings and your stocking ladders at the same moment. Half a second to change half a pair of stockings, and you can be down the stairs while your young man is still on the door mat. And it can happen again to-morrow, if it’s your unlucky week—you’ll still have a pair.
