Traveling Investigators claim that English women have notoriously fat ankles, even the young woman losing all beauty lines on that portion of her anatomy early in life if, indeed, she ever had that treasure in her possession. So an Inventive designer over there has brought out camouflaged hose, the clever feature of the World War being used to help the English woman make her ankles appear to be less huge and unwieldy than they really are, and the wise Inventor claims, with confidence in his advertising, his new hose will make the fattest ankle appear trim, sylphlike and graceful. The art of camouflage is wrought by hand-painted shadows on either side of the ankle, making longitude appear pronounced while breadth of beam is made to appear less than it really is.
