SLIPPERS OF BROCADED SATIN

Intended for Wear With Summer Negligee, They May Quite Easily Be Made at Home. To wear with the summer negligee the shops are showing dainty slippers fashioned of brocaded satin. These are rather expensive if your desire to purchase them, but if you are clever at needlework they can be duplicated at home for very much less. First purchase a pair of -soles the required size and bind them with a fancy silk braid of the predominating color used In the brocade. When chooßing the brocade select a design which will look well oh the* top of the foot. Frcm heavy muslin cut a piece of material to form the toe portion the slipper. This must fit smoothly to the sole and be able enough to comfortably accommodate the foot. Using this as a guide, cut two similar pieces from the brocaded satin and baste the two together. Outline the design with twisted silk of the same tone and improve the slipper toe by embroidering tiny flowers here and there. To the back of the puslln whipstitch a lining of white silk and bind the top with braid to match the soles. Join the toe portion to the soles with strong silk thread, whipstitching the two together. They are quickly made and the result speaks for Itself. A case oan be fashioned to contain thse slippers from brocaded satin of the same design. Make it to resemble a large envelope and place the •Uppers between the folds fastening

the flap with a pearl button and a buttonhole.
