first blush, appear trife obscure, but
she will appreciate the lacey hose as

pulled through wedding rings is not
the only or even the chief use for which
these thin stockings are designed.

ings with medallions of point of chan
tilly lace adorning the instep, and in
some cases running up almost to the
knee; also stockings embroidered with
silver and gold thread in fantastic
designs of flowers and serpents.' Again
colored silks are employed and cupids,
pink and chubby, are found clambering
up trellises of gold or silver, which
serve as backgrounds for green vines
and brilliant blossoms.
The butterfly is a favorite of the ar
tistic stocking beautifier. and appears
in all manner of guises, in laces, in
embroidery, and in water color. The
old bow-knot always has it's admirers,
so 1t is much used, but can not be
given place among the novelties.
Twisted ribbons, wrought in sparkling
sequins Of vivid hue, encircle the leg
Of some stockings from instep to knee,
terminating in a bow-knot in front,
just below the knee.
A novelty in black stockings for
summer wear is colored embroidery on
fine thread or silk, in small patterns,
such as tiny bouquets of rose buds,
sprays of forget-me-nots and posies
or other wild flowers tied with float
ing ribbons. Sometimes the flowers
are merly worked in outline SO as to
give as light an effect as possible

THE MEANING OF cocKAoEs.

have had rather a remarkable let
ter from a New York woman, who
asks me to ascertain for her, if pos
sible, the significance of the black
cockade which is worn by her coach
man and footman. She states that q
friend Of hers has informed her that
she has no right to place the black
cockade, or any other for that matter,
in the headgear of her servants, and
she desires me to inform her as to
the correctness Of this point. In this
instance | have to rely ON the informa-
ton derived from a great authority on
these matters, namely, -Ir. f. Lee
Carter.
The cockade in present use, not only
in England but abroad-eXcepting the
United States-is a distinction of Of
flee rather than of title, inasmuch as 1t
is headdress which can legally be
worn only by servants of royalty, in
Guiding naval and military officers,
diplomatists and the lieutenants, dep
uty-lieutenants and high sheriffs Of
counties. AS worn by these its color
Is black, and it's introduction to Eng
land in this form is due to the House
of Hanover, but cockades of various
colors have been known in England
long before that time. Under Charles
l. there was a scarlet cockade, but
hn oh
to white, and this became the badge
of the Jacobites, or adherents of the
Pretender, while the orange was that
of William of Orange. At this time
the cockade, white OF black, was mere
ly used by soldiers to denote their
color in Holland, while other Euro
pean nations adopt a large variety of
hues, as is shown especially in the
streets of London, in the foreign liv-
cries of carriage attendants, namely,
black and white for Germany, black
and yellow for Austria, the tri-color
for France, scarlet for Spain, blue and
white for Portugal, and black, red
and yellow for Belgium. The word
cockade was borrowed from the
French cacarde, having originally been
applied to the plumes Of cocks feath-
ers worn by Croatian soldiers serving
in the French army. Such a plume,
or in it's place a bunch of ribbons,
came to be used in pinning up the flags
of hat into a cooked position. and
thus gradually the word passed for the
designation 'the cooked hat" itself.
l hope this information will satisfy
my fair inquirer that she is really not
entitled to use a cockade in the head
dress of her liveried servants, but she
may be consoled by the news that she
is only one Of many hundreds of thou
sands who do likewise, without know
ing or caring that they are transgress
ing an old rule.-Town and Country

Have you ever noticed" said
clever woman, that very salient diff

different lines of business?"
what has your eagle eye fallen on
now?" said her auditor.
well, the actresses, of course, are
class by themselves. 1t is a part of
their business to present a stunning
appearance, and they set the pace.
But in the ordinary occupations in
which women are employed you will
always find that milliners lead in style
and generally attractive get-up. Their
training teaches them neatness, and
the artistic blending Of colors, and no
other woman can achieve their style on
the same salary"
"What about the dressmakers?"
'Oh, the very same remarks apply
largely to her, Of course, for milliners
and dressmakers hunt in couples. Sales
women in the big stores, especially
in the better lines of goods, come under
this head, as do those in hair stores,
manicuring establishments, and all
sorts of grooming places. Now when
you get among the teachers, you will
find an entirely different atmosphere.
Truth to tell, teachers, as a Glass; are
apt to be little frumpy. Some way
or another, clothesology doesn't seem
to combine readily with the other
4ologies.' But don't run away with the
idea that this necessarily condemns
the teacher, even in masculine eyes.
Look at that spinster teacher who
captured that big, big gun in Washing
ton the other day. I suppose that he
could have had almost any society
woman that he threw his handkerchief
to, but you see he wasn't looking for
a fashion plate. Some men are built
that way.
"Then there are the women doctors
and lawyers, continued this solon, med
itatively. Il believe they're worse
than the teachers, as q whole. A really
successful doctor doesn't know what
she has on. She doesn't have to. Her
success depends 50 entirely OH her
competence that her appearance cuts
no figure. Her mind is on her patients,
not her clothes. l know woman doc
tor over on the East Side who is max
ing $4,000 year, and she looks like
