the fact that certain incidents are

absolute in the truth and purity Of its
sentiment, the uplift of its moral the
poetry of its romance, which, after ALL

NEW STOCKINGS

Colored stockings are enjoying n rev-
val this season. The fad which demands
shoes matching the gown must necessarily
include the stockings; hence there is
scarcely a new shade which cannot be
reproduced In hosiery. II, by chance, a
shade has been selected for the costume
which cannot be successfully matched in
stockings, many stores will gladly dye the
stockings To match. These colored stock
ings are such gay affairs that they re-
quire no further enhancement except the
clock at the side
TO wear with the trotteur suit I'm the
morning, when all the world and the dog
goes a-shopping. or shop gazing, the
smartest stockings are those in shot silk.
All manner OF combinations are blended
together, but the most popular are the
black and white, royal blue and black,
red and black, and purple and black
on some stockings this changea BILE
effect Is continued to the garter hem; on
others II extends midway between the
ankle and the knee, very much as the
silk does In a so-called boot silk stock
ing. Some of these stockings are much
heavier in quality than the others, and.
although the price Is correspondingly
greater, the wearing qualities are like
wise increased to such an extent that It
IL economy to purchase them.
For street wear, also, the black stock
ings, with white or colored silk clocks,
are considered very chic. With the satin
shoes Of various colorings the stockings.
Of course, match the shoes.
To wear with the evening shoes and
slIppers there are the loveliest and
daintiest OF silk stockings in all the soft
pastel shades and white. Many OF these
stockings boast an effective design ex-
duIsitely embroidered; others are made
even more attractive by insets OF lace
which may be outlined with trailing de-
sign OF embroidery. The embroidery, In
the incest Of these stockings, Is In the
same shade as the stocking, although COL
ored embroidery is sometimes seen In
these days OF strong contrasts.
The lace may be applied as round or
oval rnedalilons, or I'm strips. When the
latter Is chosen, II is very often used
to form clocks at the side. For the girl
who Is skilful with the needle II Is
very easy matter TO buy q pair OF good
silk stockings and insert the medallions
OF lace. In this way she can enjoy the
prettiest OF stockings at a very much
lower price than those sold In the stores.
Very striking and to some minds per-
haps bit too STACEY, are the white SILK
stockings whose embroidery is generously
studded with rhinestones. With the new
evening frocks showing the slashed skirts,
which neither hide nor, In fact, attempt
to conceal the limbs, these jewelled STOCK
ings add to the sartorial picture. The
same criticism may apply TO the stockings
which are embroidered In the metallic
threads-a fad which invades every feat

When One Motors

BY motoring is meant a good brisk spin
through the open country, not slow pro-
cessional in landaulette up Fifth ave-
nue. For this latter occasion any street
costume may be worn, although this sea-
son has brought forth a certain type OF
outer wrap known as the limousine coat.
Motoring apparel, as It Is generally
understood, is of quite a different type
IL demands first a wrap which will give
warmth, for rushing through the country
at this time of year, when there is all
the tartness and the freshness of late
autumn in the air, is chilly pastime; sec
ondly, freedom Of movement, and, lastly,
looks. At one time appearance was not
considered at all, and the result was a
motley collection of shapeless cowled
creatures, so effectually concealed that It
was impossible to distinguish ones best
friend. To-day, although ones appear
ance is not the first consideration, II has
been carefully taken care Of by the
manufacturers, who believe that the fem
mime charm can be quite as apparent In
the motor car as out Of it.
Practically all of these coats are semi
fitting, IL not quite loose. One must be
able to move quickly and freely when en-
route II there is any shaping It is well
toward the bottom Of the coat, which
may extend to the three-quarter or seven
eighths length. The kimono sleeve has to
a certain extent been replaced by the
satin sleeve with the large armhoie. A
great deal of comfort has been given the
sleeves by a lining at the wrist OF satin
shirred on TO an elastic which prevents
not only the dust but the cold blasts
from blowing up the sleeves. This idea
has been carried out in the coat shown in
the illustration. In this coat the yoke and
sleeves are cut in one piece.

Fur which is playing such a stellar
role this year, is utilized 70 a great ex-
tent on these motor coats The less ex-
pensive furs are chosen for this purpose,
with raccoon and civet cat as general
favorites The civet cat scarves are Won

otherwise rather uninteresting coat of

Belts are another feature Of the motor
coat. Sometimes they are Of the material

A NOVELTY IN GLOVES.

To discover a novelty in gloves Is feat
worth chroniclng. The newest gloves
bear the name so familiar this season
Robespierre. These kid gloves are given
the novel touch In the turnover cuhs
which display a lining contrasting In color
IN the glove. A tan glove for instance,
will have a red or a kings blue lining,
while a white plque will be made very
pretty with Nile green shade or a soft
lavender tint.
For very dressy wear these turnover
cufrs may be lined with lace. just as were
the gloves OF the handles OF Louis xVIfs
time. To complete the velvet suit when
calling or ''teaing'' these new gloves are
most attractive.
To stick In them. by the way, there are
dainty little glove handkerchiefs, either
embroidered or with colored borders TO
match lie turnover cuffs Only few
inches square, to be sure. yet these hand
kerchiefs are wonderfully useful TO touch
the lips after a cup of tea. SO soft and
fine are they that one almost f0rgets
them when they are tucked In the palm
Of the hand.
