Stockings make a serious item in the
expense account, for while the all
black stockings is the correct style FOR
street wear. for house and evening
wear the stocking must exactly match
the gown. silk Is above all the right
material and to wear with evening
gowns the more elaborate the embroi-
derry the better. Lace insertion. out
lined with rich embroidery. makes the
white and light colored stockings most
effective and certainly it adds to the
finish of a handsome toilet if there are
shoes and stockings TO match, says
the New York Telegram
Even with black slippers for theatre
wear. stockings to match the gown are
thought smarter than the all black, so
IL Is necessary TO nave stockings for
each and every costume, while the en-
broidered and lace trimmed stockings
in all black are TO be had ia an in
finite variety OF design.
Low shoes and slippers TO match the
gowns are also Indispensable But the
smartest slippers are quite simple in
design. the expense and variety OF
design being in the buckles, rather
than In the embroidery on the slipper

fashionable materials for slippers
