for no one can tell what either Of these
nations would do under the circum-

even its own people know what has
happened. 1t is a stroke of vengeance
marvellous in its finality. Austria is
crippled for years to come, unless she
can find the stolen gold on her own ter
ritory.'
The old lady had worked herself up
into such state Of excitement during
her recital that she did not notice that
most Of her companion visitors had
taken their leave. and when the princess
approached the two she arose with some
trepidation.
"My dear princess, she said, "your

Of your young compatriot has been 80
charming that have done nothing but
chatter, chatter, chatter away about
things which should only be spoken of

piled the princess. with that gracious
condescension which became her so
we'll.

to take her leave, and when the prin
cess was left alone with her guest she
cried:

Historic Slippers.

Shoes and slippers have played an i'm
portant part in history and tradition. An
instructive collection of historic footgear
is shown in The Delineator for October,
including dress slippers of Marie Antoi-
nette and many other quaint, curious spec
linens of bygone centuries. The shoes OF
the present day represent great advance
in the quality of comfort, it would seem,
but in elaboration and artistic ornamen-
tation they must yield to the footwear OF
earlier times. The shoes of the fourteenth
century were guided or engraved ornate
ly. Ladies' shoes of the fifteenth century
were wooden, curiously carved. The
seventeenth century was most prolific IN
the different styles of shoes produced, and
the materials from which they were fash
ioned were the richest. The shoes of the
Orient have always been extremely
elaborate.
