Spangled Stockings.

Pretty stockings are demanded by tho
fashion of having the front of the insteps
of house shoes in openwork effect. Open
work and lace-trimmed stockings have
been overused and are tabooed, and en-
broideries have almost exhausted the pos
siblities of novel designs in this medium,
SO the manufacturers have borrowed an
idea from the circus girl. and the new
est stockings are ornamented with SPAN
giles. The designs for these are some
what less pronounced than those affected
by the lady who earns her living by leap
ing through paper hoops. Tiny pallettes
in gold and silver are used. and they
are combined with embroidery in dainty
floral patterns Certainly no guarantee

pailletted hose. a specially pretty pair
she bought was of white silk, beautif d

Notes on Hats
From headdresses to hats Is not a great
flight of the Imagination, and l would like
to tell you about two that appealed to me
when worn by a couple of chic Paris
iennes. A large black satin hat had
chinchlla crown and lovely drapery of
old lace falling over the brm. while at
the side was bow of old-world embroid-
cry in dull colorings. 1t was worn with a
chtnchilla and lace stole and muff, with
great festoon of lace at one side, and last,
but not least effective, were the clusters
of deep mauve dahlias on the corsage and

tractive fashion 1t is. But, to come back
to hats. it Is a positive pleasure to see
the tricorne shape In headgear asserting
it's claims to modish favor. 1t is a par
tfcularly happy combination with the cut
away Louis coats with long sleeves and
gauntlet cuffs. Nothing could be smarter
than black cloth killed skirt with the
new half-length Louis coat cut away to
show a vest of black Persian lamb en-
broidered In gold. with narrow gold cord
around the edge of the coat and little gold
buttons on the long gauntlet sleeves and
finished with fascinating frills and jabots
of valenciennes lace. l saw such a cos
tune recently worn with a black satin
tricorne hat lined with natter blue velvet
with no trimming beyond a single gold
cord twisted around the crown and little
cluster of golden tasses hanging on a
bunch of curls at the sides Speaking of
buttons. the last idea for lace waists is
to fasten the long, tight sleeves with tiny
buttons in a coloring harmonizing with
the skirt to which 1t Is attached. Such a
mode at once marks the garment hav-
Ing cause for being.

The Sensible Petticoat.

Useful petticoats are essential TO every
woman who trots about much. Judging
from fashion journals in general all the
world will wear silk petticoats and those
hand-embroldered and frilled with lace.
but the world today shows a large per-
centage of business women whose good
sense demands something more useful
than a silk pettcoat.
There are nearsiiks and prepared cot
tons stiffened to hang well and give the
bell cut with tie circle fiounce or the
accordion plated ruffie of much grace and
beauty. These come in all colors.
There are black and white effects in
checks, plaids and stripes cut into neat
skirts, and close to them are the brilliant

the friendship subject and not being tired
of our coZy corner in the Elysees. we be
gan to specialize about platonic affec-
tions. There are, as every one knows
lots OF people who insist that friendship
between men ana women must be imbued
with the consciousness of sex. Whether
this IS the case or not. II Is true that
all women live on their emotions, and
experiences in platonic friendships are
not the least among Interesting expert
ences. Even If such friendships occasion
ally venture beyond the limit of decorum
and merge into love. we all know, on the
other hand magnificent examples of loyal
friendships between women and men.
Many woman unsympathetically mar
ried has been solaced by the chivalrous
devotion OF another man, and many a
man who has drawn a bad number In
the matrimonial market has been kept
to the path of duty by the care OF some
woman whose sympathy with him will
never overstep the limits of pure friend
ship. But the whole secret Of friendship
lies in sympathy. In friendship you must
expect nothing and be always giving. To
be a good friend one must b. able to
listen and to understand without being
told. AS one grows older friendship be-
comes more precious and less demonstra-
that we sit hand in hand with our
friends Later we leave much to mutual
comprehension. If this quality is absent.
then there IS no friendship with 1t the
rest matters little.
