''The Campbells are coming" least
way their plaidies are here, and fur
thermore they have come to stay.
Futile attempts have been made for
several seasons to stem the tide OF
popularity of the ubiquitous black
stocking, but it took the piaidies TO
conquer, and when one comes TO see
them in their manifold richness and
variety, one does not wonder at their
victory. They are all here, the bright
scarlet marked off with irregular bars
of black and white; exquisitely blend
ing shades of dark green, blue and
black enclosed in larger bar of gold;
beautifully notified white plaided of
with light blues, greens and yellOWs;
in fact all possible com binationS of line
and color that ever glaced cap or
kirtle have been reproduced in the in
terests of new and gorgeous hosiery.
These exquisite importations come
in all grades the finest quality and
most brilliant colors running as high
as $3.50 in price; very lovely ones,
however may be had for $3.50 While
the same schemes are carried out in
lisle-thread and very fine cotton for
an average price of $1.T5. Indeed one
may find very pretty effects in cotton
line Of wear with their plaid fTocks,
and many of them have been manu-
featured with a particular view to
matching the new spring ginghams.
In fact il is expected that the earliest
spring styles viii be marked by a
rage for plaid hosiery
EVENING HOSIERY.
Holding only a second Mace to these
fascinating novelties are brillian1 eff
fects in Roman stripes. Not time nor
fashion have ever been able to long
Danish from ken this charming de-
sign in one form or another and its
temperance in new and lovely hosiery
has met with an enthusiastic welcome
Stripes in the one solid color running
UP and down are also among the re
cent importations and find ready sale
among the more conservative, who.
however, desire some change from the
somewhat haclIneyed black.
1t is at the afternoon reception, tea,
or even quiet dinner with low cut shoe
and slipper that these charming color
effects are most n evidence Had the
pretty Mrs Ladinberg but thrust out
the tip of her dainty toe in your pres
ence at her reception the other after
noon in New York City, you could not
but have noted the gay and fetching
plaid over the high arched instep
anu faDpNt the patent tedInef Tie OF
Mrs Jack AstOr might be seen as she
stepped into her carriage the rich but
sombre blues and green's.
OF course when il comes to evening
wear, the pale tints in silk deliberately
open worked are de rigeur; and if one
wants ia go TO the uttermOSt limits of
splendor there are those with real lace
let in over the instep and finished with
eXquisitely fine embroidery. Such a
combination in white silk with valen-
ciennes lace costing about $50 ere a
part of a recently imported bridal
trousseaU. If one will wear black,
there are beautiful creations in silk
and real lace, as we'll as novelties in
black silk heavily embroidered over the
instep with irridescent beads.
MODEL STOCKING CASES.
For shopping. however, black still
holds its own. and comes suited to all
grades of fastidiousness. There are
many women who can amply afford to
wear silk to whom it is exceedingly
disagreeable causing a constant irrita-
ton of the skin, and who also find
Isle unpl eaSa1t. For these there is a
highly refined grade of cotton selling
at $2.75 and SO a pair, and though they
wear no better than the most ordin-
airy % cenc stocking, they make up the
difference in softness and agreea BILE
ness of touch, and are in steady de-
mand.
There is indeed no part of her ward
robe about which the dainty woman is
more fastidiOus than her hose, and
the charming perfumed cases now
used by select few for their more
perfect care, should commend them
selves to every wearer of hose. This
case may be made Of satin, silk, bro
cade, linen or even beautiful cretonne
and may be decorated to suit ones
fancy, those OF embroidered white linen
being especially pretty. Ne such lati-
