Show the new hosiery 1 r pretty Cojors and New Styles Much in Evidence for the Spring and Summer. The promising voguo of high-colored shoes this spring and summer brings up tho question of whether It is likely to bo nccompnnlcd by a corresponding demand for high colors In hosiery. As spring draws nearer tho Indications of a very brilliant color season be-conio be-conio more and moro pronounced. We are promised a blazo of color la mil Ilncry prints, embroideries and llnnlly In shoes. Tho promlncnco gken In colors In tho displays of tho smart shoe shops Is strikingly noticeable. What will this mean to hosiery 7 What color In hosiery, for example, will a woman want tp wear with red shoes or green shoes? Ono can get somo Idea of the general gen-eral tendency In this mnttcr, however, by considering tho fact that bright colors col-ors this season nro largely nccessory. In other words, they nro excmpllfl chtelly In millinery, embroideries prints. Tho groundwork of tho turner, so to speak, will be a plain color, and It Is likely that hosiery will bo worn to match this ground color a rather than tho moro highly colored i accessories. For Instance, ono of tho I costumes observed In n smart hotel re- I cently was of nnvy polro twill with red trimmings, nod shoes and plain black silk lioso wero worn with this costume. Another was a costumo of gray crepe with multicolored embroideries. embroid-eries. Gray shoes and hoso to match were worn with It. Whllo It seems probablo that plain fit colors, such as black, tan, gray and sl white, will bo most favored even with ve colored shoes, thero Is a good chance bl that a high color noto will be struck mi In clockings. It has been generally taken for granted that embroidered clocks nro passe, and that only tho 5 open-work clock will ho good this hn spring. But It Is Just possible that tho on high color voguo In shoes and trim- t01 mlngs may bring tho embroidered clock 110 back with n bang. Undoubtedly plain s1' hose to match tho costumo with bright- sei colored clocks to match shoes and 1,0 trimmings would bo a smurt note and ,y, quite In lino with tho senson's tenden- co cles. dt It goes without saying thnt n vivid nri nu lor senson such as wo are going to lvo this spring must havo un effect i hosiery. Wo have become nccus-mod nccus-mod to fancy color effects In sports ise, and we may see somo vogue for mllnr effects In silk hoso before tho nson Is far advanced. Tho prominence pro-minence of brllllnnt prints especlal-Is especlal-Is npt to create a dctnnnd for niultl-lorcd niultl-lorcd effects In hosiery.
