One of my Aunts claimed she only got the same color of hose, no matter how many, so she could always find a match.
That's funny. I remember one time as a child my mother looking all over for her other garter. My brother Jim asked her what she was looking for, she said her garter to hold up her stockings. He said, " Is that what that was, I used it for....." I don't remember what he used it for but then my mother hurriedly sewed a piece of elastic together so she could hold her stockings up. Just think how pathetic we would feel if we had to wear DRESSES all day long!
