By that is meant that they are knitted flat like a piece of cloth, cut to shape and then sewed up the back. As a result they always fit the w and ankle snug ly, do not bag after being washed, and are always sightly. The ordinary stocking is knit tubular, being a perfect tube when it comes from the machine and afterwards is pressed into shape, which shape it soon loses. Wavne knit stockings have double soles and toes and high-spliced heels. Women s stockings are knitted without a hem, leaving them more elastic.

WILL DEVELOP PLAYERS Several Teams Already Organized and Are Practicing for Con tests During Winter. Daniel Hays, Jr., of Rock Island, formerly a member of the famous Muscatine basketball five which toured the United States three years ago, has been engaged as coach for the basketball team of Augustana college. At a conference yesterday after noon with Mr. Hays. H. A. Larson, captain of the first team, secured his consent to train the team, on certain conditions, which will be brought before the Augustana Ath letic association whicn meets this afternoon. The board of control will later pass on the decision of the as Bociation. but there is no doubt but that hlsterms will be accepted. Mr. Hays' long experience In bas ketball and the wealth of material at hand should Insure a first class team for Augustana college. His first experience was on the Musca tine high school team, which- won the championship of Iowa. Later he joined the Muscatine Y. M. C. A. team and the Company C team of the Iowa national guard, both of which won the state championship. Defeat All Comm. In the fall of 1907 the famous basketball team of the Muscatine Athletic association was organized, and Hays played guard and was elected captain. In the spectacular tour from coast to coast which this team made all high class teams were played and all were defeated except a few from the Rocky mountain re gion, which had the advantage of favorable climatic conditions, which interfered with the playing of the Muscatine players. Out of a total of about 90 games only seven were lost. Since the disbanding of the team Mr. Hays has engaged in real estate bus iness in Rock Island, but has never given up basketball altogether. Hia thorough knowledge of the game, as well as his own ability as a player, will make him an invaluable coach, for the team, and a winning five will certainly be put forth. Interest In Cirovrln-. With the restoration of intercol legiate athletics by the Augustana synod increased interest is being taken in basketball, which has al ways been a popular sport at Augus tana college. The first team has had weekly practice several weeks. H. A. Larson is captain and many other experienced players have been out. In addition to the first team, the academy also has organized a team with Robert Bengston as captain. Several of the classes have formed teams and will continue weekly prac tice. The sophomore and freshmen teams, especially, are working hard and will settle their differences on the basketball floor. A girls' team also has been or ganized, with Miss Mary Wilson as captain. H .A. Larson is coaching them and says that with the wealth of good material at hand chances "for a winning team among the co-eds are very bright. HOW SISTER HOBBLED THEM. When sinter got her hobble skirt The family assembled. Papa's remarks were very curt; With high disdain, he trembled. Aunt Julia sniffed and raised her v hands. Grandmother almost fainted And said: "Be seen in that? My lands! I'd rather that she painted! Then each took turns while sister stood And heard how they condemned It. They said the style was far from good. Oh, how they hawed and hemmed it! When they were through then sis ter took n album from the table Ad showed them In that olden book Such things believe me, Mabel! First grandma In her widespread hoops. The stlye in eighteen fifty. When Grecian bends and soulful droops Were thought to be quite nifty. Then, with a smile that seemed to say. "Once more I'm glad to fool you," A "pull back" costume, tight and gay. She showed on good Aunt Julia. Dear mother rose to seise the book. And they had quite a tussle. But elter held it and cried: "Look! Here's mother with her bustle!" Then father in spring bottomed pants! My sister's wise selections Of father's, grandma's, ma's and aunt's Old styles hushed their objections. W. D.
