DECEMBER NOTES.
Special attention has been given to black
hosiery because it Is so fashionable, and
the result is a production of styles with
white Innings so that the coming of of dyes
is prevented. Buttons raven gloss shoe
dressing is as much an article of toilet a
anything else, and I can recommend Il
since, although It does not impart very
high lustre, it gives natural new finish to
fine shoes without cracking. A coquettish
fancy dress can be made of figured stuff
draped high with open neck, elbow sleeves,
and fancy cap or hat. Cheap imitation
ermine is made of canton flannel fecked
with black fur or plush, and this could Dor.
der royal robe of velveteen.
