N lace and embroidery. From head
to foot she has overlooked no
e~]GD vehicle for adoTnment. Her hosiery
has blossomed out, therefore, into new and
unexpected prettiness, and the question of
the most effective shoes and stockings to
DO worn with each particular gown has be-
come a most important one.
The shops are fun of hosiery to suit the
most exacting taste. In silk or in Hale
thread. hand-painted, embroidered or
printed. they are as vari-colored as n rain
bow and as delicate in texture as gossamer.
II miIady wishes to match the exact
shade of her gown. she can do so In silk.
One Of the p~rettiest is a wide mesh ribbed
silk stocking. II is proving more popular
than the plain weave. open-work silk
stockings are more dainty than ever. The
lace patterns may entirely cover the stock
ings or only extend in a three-inch band
up the front.
II the gown must be matched less ex-
pensively, the lace Isle stockings offer a
close Imitation OF the silk. The range of
colors in which they appear is quite as ex-
tensive. Delicate shades OF green. ecru.
mauve and rose look charming when seen
under the swiris OF fiuny skirts, whose
shades they exactly match.
For the athletic girl in the chic golf
skirt the Oxford mixtures are the newest
hosiery. Although a tribe mannish in APP
~pearance, they are extremely smart. They
are of lisie In notified or seeded effects. A
feminine touch Is given TO one pattern by
n hair line of pale blue running horizon
tally at a distance OF three inches apart.
Another has almost im~perceptible pale blue
fecks. giving II a slightly blush shade.
Another fad in golf hosiery are the tartan
plalds. These are woven IN silk or Isle on
black. white o. tan-coiored grounds. Tn
body OF the stocking half way up to the
knee Is OF the solid color. Tho tartan IL

ment the ankle with the effect of clocks.
Fine black and white checks are Also seen
In golf hosiery. The entire stocking Is
sometimes OF the check. ana sometimes it
is used as an ornamentatIon on black
ground.
Black and white effects are extremely
popular for summer hosiery of every de-
scriptiOn. Black printings on white fOun-
cation are among the latest favorites. Pam
sizes and other flowers are lightly outlined

A strip of lace Isle two inches wide ex-
tends down the front and on either side Is
a chain OF tina outlined pansies.
The nlI-over vine patterns in black on a
white ground are extremely effective. They
are more subdued than the pure white
stockings, yet are dainty enough for wear
with the sheerest and most snowy dresses-
The emect is OF a delicate nuance OF gray.
Gray hosiery OF every description is much
worn, and Is frequently embroidered or
Iaee-inscrted IN white.
For wear with the pongea robes, without

hand work is usually displayed in a narrow
panel running up the front OF the stocking.
Flower designs are the greatest favorites.
Violet, either white or purple. and yellow
centered daisies are pleasing. Dresden
wreaths and French bowknOts are effective
ON a contrasting foundation. II the gown
is embroidered, the made-to-order hosiery
should be embroidered In a similar pattern.
For the bride are white silk stockings,
lavishly embroidered. True lovers knots
make a fitting garniture, or white ~violets,
hlies-of-the-valley or rosebuds.
Forget-me-nots ana other Dresden flowers
arc most popular In hosiery embroidery.
Small Gala lily blossoms are embroidered
on some OF the silk stockings. The white

There is No Proposition on Either Side
 Toward q Break.

Topeka, Kan, February 13.-A con- ference was held today between the santa Fc officials and trIinmen relative to an increase in wages. Nothing defin- ite vas decided Upon, but there is a more oonciliat0y feeling between the parties now.
 A. B. Garretson. assistant chief of the O. P. C., in discussing the proba- bility of q strike, said:
 Tt is a question that I do not know quite how to answer. We have never had occasion to strike, and in all proba- bility never will if things run as smoothly as they have heretofore. In all previous matters of this kind We have always been able to come to sat isfactory agreements. The raise in wages is what we are after, not strikes. Some concessions may be made, of course. but then one can not always get all that enc wants.''
