NOTHING LIKE SILKEN HOSE

Substitute for That Expensive Material Would Be Welcomed by the Fashionable Woman. Always the fastidious woman loves that her hose should be soft and luxurious, and there is not one of ua who would not for the sake of its coolness, its pleasant feeling and the fine elegance which it gives to foot and ankle, wear silk habitually were it not so expensive to keep up the agreeable practice. The substitute that looks as well and feels as delightful in its contact with the skin has still to be discovered. Closely woven silk hose, with clocks, if they are to the taste of the wearer, but with no other embroidery, are in the best possible taste, and are chosen by well dressed women rather than any other kind of stocking. Colors are seen, but black is preferred, and with summer toilettes there has been a great deal of white worn with the fashionable black and white shoe of the promenade.
