FADS IN STOCKINGS
STILL NUMEROUS
Multiplicity of Colors,
WeaveS, and Designs
Shown This Season.

The stocking we have always with US,
and usually we have it's fads as weiI.
They need firm treatment, these fads,
or the prettiest of the stockings viii
run away with Us. There is shown
multiplicity of ravishing colors, weaves
and designs in the new spring stock
ings. but many Of the most gaudy are
so evidently but the decoration OF the
shoe-shop windows that we are not
called upon to accept or reject them.
They are, nevertheless. bewitching to
the passerby, and among them are un-
doubtedly some that are useful for wear
with tan, gray, bronze and white shoes.
Stockings TO match the gown and its
shoes are not necessarily too capricious
TO be sanctioned. This is dependent up
on the gown There are many exqui-
site costumes that would be incomplete
without suede shoes and stockings to
match them or to harmonic with them.
Light stockings are predicted with dark
gowns, but the statement should be ta-
ken with more than a grain Of salt
F1esh-colored ones were a former rtI-
NOR, but when they finally materialized
If so Ii be called-they were In gauze-
thin stocking that was worn during the
coolest weather; they were only for
added warmth. Each year ushers in
either the embroidered stocking or the
lace stocking or merely the fine plain
one. This is to be a season of merely
the plain one" Their extreme fineneSs
will be their recommendation.

CALIFORNIA. FRUITS PROMISE
TO BE PLENTIFUL THIS
YEAR IN MARKET

Just what local consumers may ex-
pect in the wsy of fruits from Cali
fornia this summer has been pretty
well determined by dealers. Briefly
stated, all Indications point to
peaches, plums, pears, and grapes be-
ing in plentiful supply, with cherries
and aprfcots scarce.
This does not mean, however, that
cherries and appricots will be later
than usual in reaching the market.
In fact. cherries are expected to be
received by the latter part of this
month, put the season viii probably
not last as long as 1t did a year ago.
Apricots, it is understood. are ex-
tremely light in the early-producing
IS of Californ. although there
will be enough for shipping purposes.
In the crops of peaches, pears,
plums, and grapes, indications are
that the season will be as good as It
was last year, both with respect to
quantity and quality. Rainfall has
been abundant and, as there has been
no development of fungus or blight.
according to reports, the fruit should
reach the local market in excellent
condition.

COMFORTABLE DUTCH NECK
TO REMAIN IN STYLE
THIS SUMMER.

All the fluffy summer girls may re-
joice, for it is almost an established
fact that the comfortable Dutch neck
will remain in fashion for the whole
summer. And the best part is that
gowns Of this style will not only be
worn for warm mornings, but they will
be perfectly proper on mpre formal oc-
casions, for which in days gone by each
maiden hid her throat with a high
band of lace or material
1t is really a pretty fashion, this Of
omitting the collar. The line may be
made becoming TO every one and when
a long white throat is numbered among
a girls attractions, she may assume
that the prevailing style was especially
meant for her.
The home dressmaker may rejoice
at the revival of the collarless gown
for she will find her work in making
up a frock or waist reduced by much
when she need not worry about the
fitting of the collar. 1t is interesting
to see how greatly # simpIfies the
making of a gown when the boning OF
a collar IS omitted.

strong nerve. Some gentlemen with
nothing to say have no more sense
than to get up in banquet hall at a

position in society or in politics that
protects them from the opinions of
their neighbors, so they string along

the tuberculous germ can be prevented
from reaching the lungs, and it is be-
lieved that by the adoption of proper
preventive measures, including simple
treatment and supplying abundance OF
fresh air, the bacillus can be destroyed
and so made harmless and thus seri-
