happy very well

DuPont invented nylon as a kind of substitute for silk. Silk was really needed for military purposes, and it just couldn't be used for stockings and scarves and the like. And so, the new silk-like material for DuPont was used for stockings instead. But the military saw that nylon could be very useful in the war effort too. And so, the women had to actually make do without stockings. Some women would put makeup on their legs to make it look like they had stockings on.
