one Of the very sheer long slips. such
as are made under lingerie blouses.
Such slips are not heavy enough to be
hot and may be worn in place OF .

Lacy socks are the dressiest
They're of silk, with lace bands and

They are worn in either black OF

A fine silk stocking with embroid
cred clocks is very correct.
You may have your monogram en-
broidered on the instep.
Changeable silk hose are beauties
but costly.
A isle and silk imitation OF these
is less expensive and quite pretty.
Gray stockings in all shades are
much worn.
With gray skirt. gray hose are
