Beaded stockings,

The latest which, happily.
has not yet reached our shores-is for
embroidered stockings. that II to say.
stockings woven down the front with
beads Of all kinds OF designs. Among
millionaires real pearls and other
gems which contrast or tone in with
their gowns are patronized, but their
comparatively poor sisters have neces-
sarily to be satisfied with imitation
gems. There Is indeed no accounting

But the governors daughter seemed,
