Hosiery.

Black stockings are most in favor at
present in wool, cotton AMI silk alike;
they are worn both fo' the street and
for full evening dress, with either Slip
pers or high Shoes and are liked as well
for children as for ladies; terra-cotta
shades are next in favor, but these
colors are not so well brought out in
oil stockings as in those of silk or
thread. aides who re luire great
warmth, and those whose feet are never
moistened by perspiration, like the fine,
soft, French cashmere stockings. Those
of solid color. with very narr W clocks
at the sides, are most used. and are
chosen in black, cardinal, wine, blue,
olive an plum colors, with reference to
the dress with which they are worn. It
is poor economy to buy the low priced
roughly woven wool hosiery that falls
into a great hole rs soon as q thread
breaks. Heavy back Balbriggan hose
with white soes are used by those to
whose flesh wool is irritating, and the
similar white half-footed sto king is
shown in dark cardinal, bronze and
cadet blue shades. Ladies who wear
silk stockings all the year choose those
of raw silk woven in ribs FOR street wear
in the winter; black and red are pre-
ferred, but every shade is shown to
match suits. Lighter qualities Of
ribbed silk hose in black AMI in
colors are pre- erred to wear in
the house with slippers. Some of
the handsomest silk stockings have
each side; others, OF the lightest blue
or pink or black plain silk, have rose
buds or stars embroidered all over the
instep and ankles; still more costly
than these are the French lace sto kings
with open S slk-work like lace forming
the entire stocking, and embroidery on
the sides or instep; most costly of all
are those with Chantilly lace set in on
tho instep of pink, blue, or cardinal
silk. The only striped stockings are
those that have the ribbed stripe length
wise, with a plain contrasting stripe
between. When black stockings are
not used with evening dress the stock
ing matches the colorof the dress, or Of
something prominent in its trimmings
Ribbed stock ngs wear hest for chill
dren, and shape themselves properly to
the chid's growing feet and legs.
Black ribbed cotton, or ribbed wool, or
raw silk stockings are the fashion of the
moment for children to wear with dress
es of any color; those with white feet
that are not ribbed are liked by some,
but the ribbed legs are preferred by all;
the wool stoc sin IS with cotton feet, and
tho with doubled knees. heels and
toes. wear rest. and need not be clumsy
if tie quality is good. Dark cardinal,
terra Gotta, bronze and the deepest blue
are the colored hose worn to match
children's dresses. White silk stock
ings in the long lace-like patterns are
cho en- for brides. = Hdrper's Bazdr.
