A handy little booklet entitled "Buying and Caring for Nylon

Hosiery," has just come to hand. It is being distributed by the C. A. C. for the use of Canadian uomcn and here are some of the high- lights from liz-

First, let's clear up the two tech- nical words which confront every woman when she goes shopping for nylons. but remember however, that these two specifications are not the sole means of judging the alue of a stocking.

"Denier." (pronounced "den- yer") is the weight of the yarn used-The lower the denier num-

ber the finer the yarn. Weights range Irom15 to 60 denier at present. but. Canadian manufac- turers are expected to introduce

12 denier yarn in the near future. . . .

"Gauge" is the number of loops or stitches in each inch and a half of stocking fabric, measuring across the leg. The higher the gauge number the closer the tiny stitchu. The gauge numbers run from 42-66. Women complain con- tinually that stockings today just don't. wear as long as they did .a few years ago and maybe we are blaming the hosiery manufactur-' era when the real reason is that we are wearing on the average a higher proportion of sheerer hos- iery than ever before.

You don't. wear an evening gown for housework or dancing. slippers for hiking. (you wouldn't expect them to last long if you did), but we don't seem to use common sense when it comes to stockings and we are too easily taken in -with bargain sales fea- turing 15 denier sheers which are'n't. bargains at all for every day wear: We should start, a campaign for more sales of 60 denier, 4.2 or 45 gauge and get people educated to buying stockings designed for the activities of daily life.

The average woman spends more than enough each year on hosiery to maintain a. complete stocking wardrobe, but by wearing her sheerest hose at inappropriate times get! much less value for her money. Start now and huy mm? service weights for serviq use ask forsodenier and 42 or 45 gauge for best every.day wearing.

We came into the hmdlines with a bang this week as a result of a report I sent. to the semi-annual meeting of C. A. C.. which WM held in Toronto on Tuesday. Feb- ruary i"Ith. In the report 1 me!)- tioned the fact that consumers in Charlottetown were being expl0ll' ed by an unfair practice regarding the sale of the culls of the potato crop in the city at top prices. March lst should see an end to this grievance or at least the be- gtlnning of the end. Mr from then on we are assured of inspection of all potatoes and other vegetables sold in Charlottetown and sum- merside. This entails a terrific amount of work and can only be successful If we. one and all. do hi! or her part. Before you buy make sure the grade is marked on the bag and if not satisfactory r290"- lt. immediately.

Is nsuvisvs Kembla Ivwxm. 9-'A:NvZ For Tomorrow

A SPLENDID day for recrea- tion, entertaining, group activities of every kind. It is a day to leave pessimism behind, one in which you can feel free to spend extra money on social activities, is day of good will all around. Under the bencflcent Lunar influences that reign today, friendship is at its warmest. romance flourishes. Take advantage of it so that, as the new week starts, you will be able to take up worltaday duties relaxed and refreshed after this most. stimu- lating day. Remember religious dut- ies, of course.

For the Birthday

If tomorrow is your birthday. you may find the year ahead one of unexpected changes which come as a prelude to most worthwhile enterprises. Good fortune for which you have waited so long will come closer to achievement, and even temporary disappointments, such as family objections to a romance will be ultimately cleared up. You may possibly be involved in some litigation but here, too. the out- come will be in your favor, so do not be discouraged if momentarily things do not seem to be going your way. The road may be slow, but by the end of the year you will be able to look back upon a year of brilliant and remarkable accom- plishment.

A child born on this day will be brilliant, dynamic, but inclined to overwork unnecessarily.

Day After Tomorrow

This is a day for caution. no not rush heedlessly into new projects or undertake financial obligations which will become burdensome within a short time. It is a day in which. unless you are on guard, you may find yourself in trouble - making rash accusations. becoming argumentative over small things. But forewarned is forearmed, so make up your mind as the day starts that you won't. permit your- self to be rushed headlong and im- pulslvely into difficulties of your own making. Instead. concentrate on some talent which you have neg- lected, try to form constructive plans for the future. with no idle time on your hands. you'll have less
