Quaint and Pretty Designs I'm the
Orient.

orient.
From the Gentlemans Magazine.
The Portuguese shoe today has a wooden
sole and heel with vamp made of patent
leather fancifully showing the flesh sides
of the skin. The Persian foot gear is a
raised shoe. and is often made a foot high.
1t is made of light wood richly inlaid. with
a strap extending over the instep. The AL
gerian shoe in appearance is not unlike
the light English wooden clogs This shoe
is made entirely of leather, In the simplest
form, ard usually without any ornamental
ton. The Armenian shoe is leather shoe
or heel, without a counter or back quar-
ter. The vamp is made of felt, and is beau
tifuily ornamented with needlework done
in colored silk thread. The Muscovite shoe
is hand woven on wooden frame, and but
little attention is paid to the shape CT the
foot. Leather is sometimes used. but the
sandal is generally made of colored silk
ccrdage and wooden cloth.
The Siam shoe has the form OF an an
cient canoe. with a gondola bow and ar
open top. The sole is made of wood, and
the upper Of inlatd wood and cloth, and the
exterior is deliberately ornamented in col
ors, and with gold and silver. The sandal
worn by the Egyptians is composed of a
sole made by sticking together three thick
nesses of leather. This is held to the foot
by band passing across the instep. The
only characterization is the fastening of two
feather plumes on the right Of the sharp
toe. The Russian boot is composed CT
many pieces of morocco in several colors
put together IN a shape to please the taste
of the maker or wearer. The foot of the
boot is made Of heavy calf. The whole
boot is beautifully embossed by thread in
bright colors. The Hungarian shoe or
moccasin. is made of rawhide. prepared by
sun-curing process. 1t is bound togetk-
er with many thongs of rawhide LOOPS or
thongs extend upward around the ;,nkle.
and through these loops Is passed a
strap which IL buckled at the side The
Grecian shoe is made almost entirely Of
leather. and has a thickiy padded sole
with a sharp turned-up toe, which is sur
mounted by a large bali of colored wool or
hair. The shoe is fleece lined, and is gor-
geously decorated with beads and orna-
mental stitching
The clog worl by the Japanese is of
wood. and as viewed from the side is the
shape of a boys sledge. 1t is fastened to
the foot by a string, which passes between
the great and second toe and across the
former; strap an inch in width and lined
with linen Is carried across the ihstep
Chinese shoes have no fastening or string.
buckle. or strap. The upper Is made Of
felt, velvet, or other cloth. The sole does
not extend tc the end of the shoe. but
curves upward beneath the ball of the foot.
The sole being very thick, 1t gives the
wearer an unsteadiness Of gait, as though
q pair of rockers were fastened to his feet.
