One of herpaatimes in all cities is to make the rounds of the de partment stores, looking for something new or especially fine in hosiery. . Much of this she never wears. She keeps it simply for the satisfaction of havins It. Of course, this hosiery is of finest texture, much of it embroidered, and some of it gem-studded. Hosiery of this sort is for the stage or home. . In the street she wears only solid colors. In Chicago recently Miss Hajos spent J200 in one department store for stockings, not'one pair of which, was tor the stage. afternoon.
