and have doub BILE heels, so that you can wear
shoes without any fear Of the tops cutting
at the back of the ankle, CT of toes poking
| through before their time. Laced stockings
! have been brought out. and are liked by
| those who object to gsrters, and who have
| not yet adopted suspenders. The front OF
the stocking is slit frors the top to the knee,
strengthened by a facing, and laced with q
smooth lacing-string. This lacing prevents
the stocking from slipping down, at the
same time causing 1t TO bit neatly above the
/ knee. Plain colored stockings, exactly
matching the dress, are the most fashion

year the ribs are wider. Still open-rib and
deliberately embroidered stockings are worn
