COTTON SLIPPERS.

Bed room slippers for summer wear
are sometimes knitted IN mercerized
crochet cotton, which may be bought in
all colors.
They are, Of course, not nearly Sc
warm as slippers Of wool yarn, and
when knitted on steel needles, they are
firm and durable
MerceriZed cotton is very inexpensive
and very pretty. In fact. the finished
slippers are so much like silk that Il
seems impossible they are not made OF
that expensive material.
The work, too. is nice, for there are
no loose threads about cotton to get
caught on the sharp needles-as yarr
when knitted on steel sometimes does.
