NEW SHADE FOR STOCKINGS. This policeman on point duty in Barcelona, Spain, must have been hard put to keep his eye on the traffic, as this model showed off "Costa Brava" - a new colour shade for stockings chosen by the International Fashion Committee to be the fashion this summer. The new tone, lightly tanned, goes well with the fashion trend which calls for more womanly dresses. H/keystone 1523/857732
