The Creek ohilosophers enumer ated three major values, the good, the true nnd the beautiful. Beauty has had every position in the three fold hierarchy, depending upon the prevailing philosophy of the period, and it has also at times heen banished from the world of desirable things.

XVDK STOCKINGS ILS(AKI)KI FOR GRAY PARIH A) Paris at last has turned its thumbs down on the flesh colored hosiery, which has been the standard day and eve ning stockings for several years. Gray is the newcomer, and the people who make the styles say that It is only a matter of a few months until dark shades of gray will deepen into black and hosi ery will be back to the N point it started from in the days which followed the war. Nude stockings are still in the majority on the boulevards of Paris. But in the exclusive shop ping streets and in and out of the luxury shops dove tints and smoke shades are worn by many women. In the evening at the smartest restaurants and dancing places one sees women wearing mauve crav stockings with dresses of white, silver or pale tones. The flesh shades matching the dress in Intensity of tone, arc still worn with gowns of pink or bright color. Accessories like shoes, gloves and handbags, taking their cue from stockings, ore also shifting from rosy belg tones to gray. Shop windows disclose more gray than beige shoes for wear with sum men afternoon costumes. Oray suede and kid slippers apparently are to have an enormous vogue for summer.
