NETTED SILKEN HOSIERY
Netted silken hosiery that has the effect of fish scales when drawn on
the foot is one of the newest departures. The woman who would be hosed in the smartest way for the afternoon must provide herself with several pairs of these large meshed netted stockings —black or white—which are woven without seams. If she intends to wear the black ones, as more appropriate to her costume, she must first don a pair of very thin white silk stockings, and draw over them the black netted ones to get the perfect result. If, however, she prefers to wear the white netted ones, the arrangement is exactly reversed, for she draws on first a pair of very thin black silk stockings. This will throw the netted white ones into high relief and give the effect of scales, for the mesh is diamond shaped and makes the scaly overlapping appearance.
