COLOUR FOR MEN.
Gaudy socks arc the,order of the day (says an English fashion paper). Men of all ages, but more especially the younger ones, aro resplendent in vivid hose. It is to a man's feet that one's eyes instinctively turn now to see in what colour or colours he has decked himself. One sees most briliinnt displays not only iu hues, but in patterns, and tho vivid sock lias called forth the daintiest of low-cut shoos. I believe this to be the thin end of tho wedge. Man is hankering after colour. He has lacked the courage to indulge in it in outer garments beyond the limits of browns and purples and greens, so he lias " let himself go " in socks. Perhaps having placed, so to say, his feet in the direction, of bright tints, lie will now grow bolder and blossom forth as tho rose or many-liucd' " morning glory."
