...letting what must show be pretty. For that trim look, stocking manufacturers have lengthened hose to the full 38 in., are shortening the welt (reinforced stocking top) from 4 to H in.; Hanes, a leading stocking manufacturer, has eliminated the welt altogether. Another hosier has come out with "pecker" garters, which cover the stocking top with meant-to-be-seen lace; Dior has taken to decorating the top with flowers and Belle-Sharmer has stockings that fasten with snaps. Best solution slim girls have found is pantyhose, sheer tights that do away with girdle and garter (sales have already increased...

"He moved me on every pitch for a whole season," one of Lopez's third basemen once reported...
...secretary, only 20, who seemed to be in the best of health except for that one complaint. And on vacation, when she was active on the beach all day, the swelling never appeared. Eventually a doctor noted a line around each thigh-about where he figured a round garter would have been in the Gay Nineties. His suspicions aroused, the doctor asked about her girdle. It proved to be the "panty type-that is, each thigh was completely encircled with elastic material." The same was true of another woman, aged 52, in whose case diagnosis was more difficult because...
