SOMETHING NEW IN STOCKINGS
Some fashionable women have taken to wearing tasselled stockings. The stockings have little silk tassels dangling from the ankle and another pair higher up, reaching to about the top of the shoes. Nothing like these tassels has been seen before. The tassels certainly give a fantastic touch to an otherwise “discreet” stocking for they are loose, and each tassel is about an inch long, made of fine silk, and likely to dance and bob about with every step of the wearer. The tassel comes just above the instep, and looks well with pumps or low slippers, and the higher tassel gives the effect of a silken Hessian boot. The new stockings are in silk or lisle, and have besides the several tassels, elaborate embroideries in different colors, or in tones of the color of the stocking itself. A very prety design is in the form of an elongated basket filled with flowers and worked in natural colors. The handle of the basket is finished off with the inevitable dancing tassels.
