PEWTER, SHADE FOR STOCKINGS.

Newer even than "gunmetal," which continues to be populai-, is the "pewter"-shade for stockings; a s the name implies, it is a dark silverygrey. Stockings in general are a little darker in tone than they were, and the 'flesh' and pinky tints are not being worn in the streets by really smart women. -'The deeper tones of beige are used, the exact, shade depending naturally on the frock worn; but "vellum"—a parchment colour, of course—is a favourite. For evening, stockings worn with white and very pale colours should still match the arms as nearly as possible, but with black or deeper toned frocks darker shades are being Avorn; not, of course).' with any attempt to match the frock —that would be very unsmart—but to harmonise with it and avoid a sharp contrast.
