HIGH HEELS IN EGYPT.
slippers Seem to lie In High Favor with
Cairo Woman.

thiro Nomcu
1t is hard to find neat. we'll fitting
shoe i'll Cairo, because the woman of the
fellah class goes barefooted and tho wo-
man of the harem wears slippers. Egypt
has no middle class of size to count
for anything. The shoe, when one dis.
covers it. is too broad for the foot of
European. 1t is round toed and without
an instep, for the use of splay footed
generation. II has either no heel or else
ono that puts the common sense
models To shame 1t is clumsy adapta-
ton of its European prototype, useful,
probably, but certainly not ornamental.
The slipper is different thing. In
its lowest state it is bright colored 1t
is thing of tho soil and seems part
of the foot that has shutllcd along in it
for centuries. The cheaper slippers worn
by tho women of Cairo are vivid red
or yellow. They are very loose, but are
too flexible to be altogether awkward
They hive soles almost MS thin as paper
and no heels. To walk in them is an art
that can { be learned i'll ono generation,
but needs to be developed through he
redity, for thoy are always trodden
down Mt the back and 1t takes toes as
clever as fingers to hold them in posi-
ton.
But Egyptian women can jump as
nimbly as others from extreme to ex-
treme, and every mothers daughter of
them who can afford it wears stiltliko
Louis Quinzo heels. Tho women Of the
Weather classes arc odd sights in their
hatlike, black eloaks and white yak
maks, fitting through the streets with
liberal display of pink silk stockings
and blue satin slippers that look filter
for ballroom, Feet are all that Il
yelled woman can display. and sho
makes the most of thom. lii the narrow
streets that lead from the muslsi ono
may SEQ i'll II ten minutes walk any
morning stockings and slippers of all
the hues of the rainbow. Tho shapeless
silk Cloaks that are universal for out
door wear are cut conveniently short to
display black slippers embroidered with
gold, white slippers beaded with blue,
yellow satin slippers with white laco
rosettes and dozens of red silk slippers
with black beading In Matarich, He
louan and other suburban villages,
where many of the pashas keep their
hnrems, so that their wives may not buy
out the jewelers. baznars of Cairo, the
display of footgear is oven more striking
The women who have the largest for.
tunes invested i'll stockings and slippers
are not apparently young and are often
er than not of unwicldy figures. The
feet of Egyptian women are not small,
and these gay slippers are apt To- he i'll
big sizes. They arc frequently soiled
and spotted, for the streets Of Cairo arc
dirty, but they add to the picturesque
ness of outdoor life and to ones appre-
citation Of the ingenuity of women. -

TIMES TEST.

Two lovers there are-I know them we'll
Who learned the lesson love comes to teach,
Whose Dyes are bright with the old, old light,
Whose hands seek each for each.
And this love of theirs seems a thing most rare,
For each of tho lovers has silver hair.
His face is mellow with passing years.
But with never u line that is hard or bleak
Her face IL rhyme of the olden time
With tinge of red in her cheek.
And l deem this more than passing fair,
Since both of these lovers have silver hair.
Let time so by, but love mny last,
As true as over true love may be.
May theirs be the smile that after awhile
Shall wait for you and mel
All, sweotCr would seem hfe's toll and care
If there wero moro lovers with silver hair

Creditors Restricted From Prosecuting
hose Indebted To Them.

WASHINGTON. May J.--The State De-
partment has received full translation
OF the decree of Captain-Gencral Wey-
Ter at Santa Clara. April 18th last. reia-
edness in Cuba. A year ago the Spanish
government found IL necessary TO sus-
pend tho right Of creditors 10 forcciose
mortgages in Cuba. 10 prevent the utter
ruin OF the people who had already suf-
forcd so much from the war. The pur-
pose Of the last decree is TO modify tho
former measure so as TO save the rights
of the creditors as far as possible With
out being unduly severe with the debtor.
This decree gives notice that the inter-
est on mortgages now due or TO become
due. will not be payable until March 3lst
of next year. and that all proceedings
looking 10 the collections Of such debts
will be suspended for the same time.
After that date the mortgage-holders
may proceed 20 claim their debts. but the
property may not be sold at public duc-
ton for the purpose OF collection. In Pi-
mar del Rio. Habana. MatanZas. and
Santa Clara Provinces. the creditors in
cases where the tenant has not suffered
the loss Of crops or home. may proceed
TO collect fifty per cent. Of the indebted
ness BY levying on the products of the
property. 1t is provided that the Credi-
tor may draw the usual legal interest on
the payments on account Of mortgages
which are extended by the decree until
next Nay.
