 TURKISH

SLIPPER.

BY MRS. JANE WEAVER.

WE give here a design for a Turkish Slipper. The cut below gives the full size pattern of the applique. Our model was a scarlet-cloth ground, with the applique in black velvet, and gold cord round the pattern both inside and out. The stars in the center of the patterns are alternately of black and gold crochet silk, and those at the corners ofthe leaves were all of fine gold thread.

The pattern should be traced upon the velvet, the leaves cut and gummed upon the cloth, and the cord afterward sewn round. The bottom of the slipper has a quilted satin sock, and the ruche is of quilled satin ribbon. The shape of the slippers should be had from the shoemaker, who is to make them up, as there is then no waste of work.
