Text	DELICATE COMPLIMENT.–It is said that the White Stockings, of Chicago, recently presented Miss Ida Lewis, the famous Newport heroine, a costly pair of white stockings, fashioned curiously from a rare lace, with the emblems of the great American game elaborately worked over them. The stockings, which were imported at an expense of some five hundred dollars in gold, were accompanied by a very artistically-engrossed certificate of honorary membership in the club, and these verses: “If these poor stockings mar thy sight, Drawn o’er they feet so fair, They’ll blush to find themselves less white And turn Red Stockings there! But if thy rosy lips they spy As kiss them thou may’st deign, With envy they will lose their dye– White Stockings once again!”
