The Supreme Court justices vote to determine the outcome of a case. The decision is made when a simple majority (for example, five of the nine justices) agree on a judgment. Explanation.
It is a circle of elastic and fabric called a garter. Garters used to be needed on each leg to hold up silk stockings before pantyhose were invented. Since then it has no useful function. In the days when women wore only long dresses and skirts, it used to be considered quite a turn-on for a man to see enough leg to view the garter on her thigh! This is why there is the tradition of the man making a ceremony of reaching up his brideâs leg to get the garter.
This is a day whose time has come, particularly considering the first pair of stockings were presented to the Queen of England in 1598. Now, women can choose from numerous types of legwear, including opaque, brightly colored tights, textured anklets and foundation finish sheer hose in shades for all skin colors and tones. Menâs socks have evolved from the basics to offerings with statement-making graphics and colors; from functional to an expression of style as ties disappear from the workplace.
