A Paris correspondent says Fashion
has crept into even the minutest details
of lady's toilet, and it is decreed that
the simple Balbrigah stocking, whose
claims to attention We're merely its fit
ness, its durability, and its elasticity, is
to be replaced ky crowd of new in
ventions in the hosiery line. The coun-
ter devoted to stockings IN the large
shops here is now as radiant with color
as is that which is given up to ribbons
and neckties- Striped, embroidered,
opened worked, blue, pink, yellow,
violet, scarlet-every shade. in short,
save white. The long line of shelves
looks like the dUdnt garde of blood
less corps de ballet. 1t is the mode
now to wear a stocking that matches
the dress thus, if the toilet be in two
shades the stocking is striped to CORE
spond. The last style in embroidered
stockings is to have a garland winding
round and round the leg. Stockings
which are half dark and half light
should have the loot and ankle of the
darker shade. They are usually made
in different shades of the same color,
but sometimes a contrast is used thus
the lower part may be of pearl gray and
the upper of peach color. In stripes
scarlet and peach color, violet and
lilac, black and pink, and other pretty
contrasting shades are worn. The
open-worked stockings are fine as lace,
and in as delicate and dainty patterns.
To better display all this luxury of
hosiery ladies' boots are now cut across
the front to simulate straps, and slip
adorned with buckles or with bows.
The pointed American shape is begin
ming to replace the broad, square toe,
up to this time adopted for ladies' boots
by French shoemakers. Handker
chiefs are coming into vogue again as
visible portions of a lady's toilet. The
corner is suffered to peep out from the
little side pocket or the escarcella it
may be either of bastiste or of fouiard,
with q colored hem or with colored
blocks at the corners, and marked with
a fac smile of the wearer's signature or
else with her arms or monogram. The |
latest style for full dress is of finest |
edged with five rows of mar
row Valenciennes, or else richly en- |
oroidered and bordered with a single |
row of wide Valenciennes put on like a |
1ounce. In parasols the latest mode |
lecrees a black silk covering, lined |
With pink, blue or of straw color to suit |
,he costume at one side single spray
If flowers is embroidered, which must
match the flowers on the wearers bon
let. White parasols, all purely, spot
essly white, both handle and covering,
ire sometimes seen. Others are en-
,roidered with stars of brownish steel,
which new tint is called Sphinx color.
These new ornaments glitter very effect
vely in the sunshine. In letter-paper
he monogram has been replaced by
my devices stamped on the left hand
,orner of the sheet, and each having
is special Specification. Thus, car
Ter pigeon means answer quickly; a
wallow, return fly, do not count on
ne key, l expect yon; an opened
Envelope, the secret is discovered; an
mp stirring a boiling saucepan. L re.
lounce love, etc. If this style becomes
general one stationers will be forced
o sell card of explanations with each
uire of paper.
