STOCKINGS TO MATCH GOWN,
Failing That, They Must Be oAfSne
Same Shade as the Shoes,
Is Fashions Edict.

Black stockings are no longer In
vogue for summer use, nor white all
fashionable for evening wear. Stock
ings are designed to match the gown,
and If they are not to be had In the
shade of the dress then they must
match the shoes. Stockings are OF.
fered in all the popular colors, such
as brown, bronze, military, and copen'
hagen blues and grape, while for eve
ming wear the new rose, raspberry,
apricot, champagne, and delicate
shades of pink are the rage.
Those in Isle thread are had in all
these tones and are counted good for
morning wear. They are offered at
so cents and up. Some are SO finely
woven that they look like silk. The
least expensive are plain, while the
more costly are trimmed with hand
embroidery worked in the self-same
color. Some of the delicate trellis
patterns ase elaborate.
With black and dark gowns the
black stockings worked in the same
color are preferred to the lighter
cred splendid for brown shoes and
bronze slippers, both in Isle and in
silk.
For dressy occasions silk stockings
continue in vogue. The smoke gray,
military, and copenhagen blue are ad-
mired with walking suits. But for
evening wear the amethyst, old rose,
apricot, and bronze are preferred to
all other shades. For evening wear it
is desirable to have the slippers and
hose the same color as the gown.
When this is not possible the stock
ings should match the slippers.
Though plain silk stockings may be
worn for evening wear, the open and
the embroidered ones are counted
best. Some of the French tandem
broidered stockings have elaborate
wreaths, low knots, roses, or morn.
ing glories covering the front. Though
hand-embroidered stockings may be
had at five dollars pair, the hand
woven hose trimmed with plenty OF
hand embroidery cost from $25 up.

Phosphorus Of the SEA

The phosphorescent light that is
often seen at sea, sometimes following
.Aip Ike a great streak of fire, is
@used by variety of small animals,
chiefly crustacea. The globe-like
lights often seen at sea in the night
time are due to the Medusae, or jelly
fish. But the most dazzling displays
of phosphorescence come from the
Pyrosoma, a jelly-like, cylindrical
mass, measuring from two to ten
inches. These bodies congregate in
immense luminous shoals, floating
near the surface and sometimes EN-.
bracing the whole of the visible hori-
zon.
