HOSIERY Hosiery continues to run the gamut of the darker beige shades, and there is a very distinct and renewed feeling for the copper hues, beginning with pale bronze and evolving into the sunburn shade. Well in the modish list are black and gun-metal. Black embroidered clocks are introduced—more or less successfully—into copper and beige hose of the finest silken quality. Wi th all-black evening frocks are worn all-black stockings as transparent as the tulle or chiffon of the gown. Often these de luxe stockings have lac-- fronts', and ornamentation further runs riot in diamond-heeled shoes and anklets.
