French people don't use stockings, or didn't use stockings. They put shoes by the fireplace or tree and le pere noel (father Christmas, santa) puts candy in the shoes.

Before stockings, the French used leg coverings called garters or hose. Garters were bands worn around the leg to hold up socks or stockings, while hose were close-fitting garments covering the leg from foot to waist, usually worn by men. The evolution of fashion eventually led to the adoption of stockings as leg coverings in French attire.

Did the st.louis maroons come before the st.louis brown stockings?

If you mean were the Maroons established before the Brown Stockings, no .... the Brown Stockings first season was 1875 in the National Association and the Maroons first season was 1884 in the Union Association. If you mean were the Maroons in the National League before the Brown Stockings, yes ... the Maroons joined the NL in 1885 and the Brown Stockings, then called the Browns, joined the NL in 1892. The Maroons played two seasons in St. Louis before moving to Indianapolis and becoming the Hoosiers. The Brown Stockings still play in St. Louis and are known as the Cardinals.
