NEW IDEAS FOR STOCKINGS

Woman May Have Almost Unlimited Choice as to Material and Its Decoration. New hosiery is vivid as sunset. Color combinations are wonderful to behold. Any curious rainbow glint Is welcome. The slit, semi-transparent skirts are responsible. Purple, red and turquoise blue was one startling combination. One pair of stockings for wear with a semi-transparent negligee showed feet in a dull soft gray. —-—-r---At the ankle the coloring was *. soft yellow which deepened to orange, then faded to shleil pink, leaving the top of the stocking deep rose. Conservative dressers choose stockings in one color. The favorite is parma mauve, running into deep violet. Pinks and blues are also popular^ Network stockings of silk and beads or mock jewels are fascinating. Often they are worn over a thin eilk stocking. Out steel beads woven in a diamond design with black, silk are effectively worn over pale gray. White stockings are worn as much as ever. The craze of bizarre clocks is as strong as ever. One pair of stockings was made with a life-size mouse running up from the left ankle. Shadow lace stockings are among the favorite dainty hose.
