Tho wish is not alwavs father to tlio deed, but it must bo admitted that nude hosiery has been rather overdone of late. It is charming on occasions; but there are other cases, snvs the “Sunday Tinies.” Certain it is that at least two leading dressmakers of Paris are making their mannequins wea- cobweb black silk stockings, wiTn black and black and white, models, reserving the flesh-pink shades exclusively for evening use and with frocks of pale colour. One hardly dares to predict the speedy return of black silk stockings, but they are looming on the dress horizon. At Monte Carlo and Cannes many chic women have been dearing pale grey silk stockings, with navy blue, black, or grey dresses, and very attractive they look. _ There is a certain thin grey silkstocking that shows silver gleams when on the -foot.

Another innovation connected with what the Americans call “footwear” Is the matching stocking—green with a green dress, the shoes black glace adorned with cut steel buckles; brown with brown; dark blue serge with silk stockings of the sqyno shade. This idea has been tried with some little success, but my personal oninion is that w" shall find silver-grey silk stockings o w en worn this spring and coming summer; and it is more than probable that certain chic Parisiennes will wear the thinnest of thin black silk stockings with black or magpie-tinted gowns.
