perfect tights
Hi! 'M back. N:o, I haven't actually ,been away:
Space has been at a premium in the last few papers.
Well, are you all . ready for Christmas;. Got that
Christmas baking done, the presents purchased and
wrapped and readyto settle in for a relaxing season
enjoying the concerts and special church services?
A. predicament the 'other day made arae, aware of
something .1 should have asked Santa.!or. While walk-
• ing across the street to pickup aur lunch, I had .this
horrid feeling that my tights were about to fall 'down
to my knees, 1 walked
faster and kept squirming
as if jiggling my butt
around was going . to help
keep them up. if anything,
it would have resulted in
the opposite.
I'm sure there must be
some other women out
there who have experi-
enced this feeling. And it's
darn maddening! ` •
You read the package
when. purchasing , such
attire..' You check your
,weight and height to the
package and then . you
rrrake.the purchase, .feeling reasonably certain the crn:-
tents of said' packagewill stretch enough -to go up :to
your waist and stay there! ` .
Not so.. In theearly morning rush to. get ready for
work, you pull and; pull and pull and .pray you don't
put your . big toe.. through the .end or bloW the knee
when yob sit down. The 'not my size' tights don't feel'
to had until you sit,down, Then they Make a gradual:
descent, usually in the rear end. You spend more time
in, the bathroom at work pulling the darn things up
the you spend doing your work
For you nnen'to understand this predicament, think
about puttingon a. pair of long;johns in which the elas-
tic band has let.go" But you have to envision this if you
were wearing ,a skirt because we all know your pants
will hold the long johns np evert if the elastic is blown,
You May feel a little uncomfortable but it's nothing
like wearing Self -shrinking 'tights with a skin ora!
So may mission for hubby, this Christmas is to make
my day by finding me a brand. of tights that. fit rmy
length and stayput: where they, are supposed to be!
