MANY WEAR COSTLY rooroeAR.
Enormous Sumo Said to Be Spent by
English Aristoeraey.

II would surprise most people to
know Of the, huge sums which some
of the English aristocracy spend on
shoes. especially on slippers. Only the
other day a countess whose name is
familiar to every one, had a pair Of
slippers made which were decorated
in a picture, pattern. like a pair Of
worked slippers. with precious stones,
these being largely rubies, emeralds
and diamonds. The result was exceed
ingly beautiful. but the cost was over
$4,000.
There Is one accomplished workman
In London whose sole occupation Is
that OF mounting fancy slippers with
jewels. The present countess dowager
OF Z some years ago had made
her husband was then alive. and gave
the order--a pair of slippers. in which
she was to appear as Cinderella at a
fancy dress ball given by the duke Of
Manchester. The slippers were one
mass of diamonds, the value OF the
stones being considerably over 500, 900.
while the cost of mounting them was
upward of $3.50.
A South American gentleman not
long since presented to foreign sing.
er, then in London, pair Of slippers
ornamented with two butterflies Of
different patterns In precious stones,
the cost being nearly $4,000. But in
reality 1t is quite common thing for
slippers ornamented with gold threads

$4,000. to be supplied. and many brides
on their honeymoon are furnished
with even ordinary boots, shoes and
slippers to the value Of 81 900 or SO.
