ROLL-TOP STOCKINGS
NEXT SEASON'S FASHIONS, SHORT SKIRTS TO REMAIN, GAY COLOURS PREDOMINATE, .— — 4 By TVltzraph—Pre«s As«n.—CoftyrigtoL Received April 13, 5.3 p.m. London, April 12. The most startling secret in London's summer fashion revealed by the drapery exhibition is an attempt to popularise roll-top stockings, which had a most successful vogue in America. Designers declare that many will be worn by fashionable people in the summer time. The designs conclusively prove that the short skirt is remaining. This has caused considerable attention to be devoted to stockings, many of which are of extraordinary design. The most novel one shows coloured flowers woven in front. Others are known as bracelet stockinet, and on them eighteen carat gold tinsel is worked around the ankles in bewildering colour tints with the object of obtaining, as near as possible, the natural colour. Prices range up to nniety shillings. The entire frocking is of the flimsiest. Gaily flowered surfaces and gauntlet gloves will be embroidered with cornflowers, pansies and poppies.
