once merely a covering for legs.
This summer they will be one of
the most important features of the
costume. Chiffon and gauze are the
new materials of which hosiery is
fashioned, and the shades are In
yariably light. Oddly enough, the
more fancy a stocking gets as to
material. the palmer it grows as to
ornamentation A chiffon stocking
with no decoration at all is the
smartest. though tiny lace stripe
as a sort of glorified clock-or a
few tiny embroidered flowers is per
missible. Black stockings are to be
next in point OF smartness; and the
only browns you may wear and still
feel in style are those chocolate
shades verging on the cocoa.
New York, Feb. 3.-The flowers
that bloom in the spring, have
nothing in variety or beauty to out
shine the canton creme hats bloom
ing at the same season. Crepe, in
deed, is such a favorite that it is
in some danger of being slain by

tone deeper than jade, is featured
in many spring models of both hats
and gowns. For evening wear the
draped turban of some fluffy mater
ial-lace, for examples a vivid
tint of fame or sea foam to set on
the fashionable black evening
frock. And, of course, the large
black hat for evening wear still
continues to be correct.
Palm Beach, Fla, Feb. 3.-Every-
one from the age Of eight years and
up have succumbed to the unusual
vogue sports clothes in the new
colors. The much desired tweeds
are made into youngsters frocks
and suits and silky-wooly scarfs
striped in black, yellow, orange and
deep red add a bold and pleasing
touch. Little dabs of sports in
fuence some giddy darning in
coarse wool to outline pockets, or
the knitted blouse so like a sweater
are added to costumes intended
for romping on the beach. These,
of course, are the premonitary
symptoms of what youngsters far
Their north will be wearing for
school or play time later in the sea-
son.
New York, Feb. 3.-On a recent
day of cold wind and slippery
streets one caught sartorial
gIimpses of spring apparel on
Fifth avenue One was a pair
of Russian boots worn by a
fashionable matron who also
wore a short raccoon coat of sports
length and a small black tricorne
hat. with a high, rather Russian
ornament. The boots were Of soft
black leather and extended half way
to the knee crumpling in folds
about the ankle. Only slim ankle
and a small foot may wear these
dainty descendants of the Russian
peasants stalwart shoe. Graceful
heels, not too high, made the boot
attractive and comfortable. The
other sign of spring was a pair of
! tweed suits in stone blue and beige
whose young wearers strolled in
serene unconcern of the chill air
and the splash of speeding taxis.
| Paris, Feb. 3.-Casting ones
gauntlet on the ground in the fine,
old fashioned way will become a
gesture worth while with the fine
new fashioned gauntlets. Up to the
elbow the new kid gloves go, and
the elbow burst into long sawtooth
slashings or into wide scallops.
Usually the slashed or scalloped top
is in a bright green or yellow on a
white glove, or of white If the glove
is black. The effect is unusual and
makes the drawing on or off of ones
gloves a good deal of a function.
