HOSE SOLD IN THE STREET
You will find the seller of stockings and socks in the streets of Paris (says a writer in the Daily News). This merchant, from the size and variety of whose supplies one might conclude tha* Parisians walk a great deal or need new socks at extraordinary short" intervals, is one of Paris's most familiar sights. At the kerbside, at the entrances to courtyards and offices, at the doors of cinemas, and in the vestibules of theatres, he hangs his socks in colourful festoons upon lengths of string, or piles them, artistically assorted as to shades, upon a tray. The demand for socks is growing, I am told. Those bought in the street are as durable as shop-sold articles, and generally they are cheaper. For colour they are incomparably more cheerful than the kind the big stores sell. Imagine the theatre doors in the Strand festooned with socks! Here they seem to be inkeeping with boulevard life.
