TURKISH SLIPPERS.

How They sIay Be Converted Into Useful
and Ornamental Receptacles.
Here are some new and pretty uses Of
the Turkish slippers which are SO cheap
and yet SO rich looking. These slippers
are Of many and various colors, richly
embroidered in gold or silver bullion,
and can be found at almost every dry
goods or shoe store. They range in
prices from 40 to 10 cents pair, and
many useful little novelties can be made
with them.

crimson silk is fastened into the slipper
by fancy stitches in gold or crimson silk
around the upper edges of the slipper.
A frill of an inch in width is left at the

through the casing made in the lower
edge Of the frill. The bag has long
slit in one side, the edges of which are
neatly hemmed, and which is hidden

are finished with pretty tassel, to the

prove very useful as well as pretty.
