Care of Stockings.

Great care should be taken in handling and washing silk stockings, to prevent laddering and other accidents.

Stockings too long or too short are annoying. If too large, they are more or less untidy. If too short, they are subjected to strain and consequent damage.

Do not hang stockings in the wind, as twisting round the line may cause ladders. Dry them in the open air for preference, but choose a sheltered spot.

Wash the stockings in warm soapy lather, squeezing gently. Use water of the same temperature for both washing and rinsing. Pull gently into shape before hanging on the line.
