POCKET TO HOLD SUPPERS

Decorative Design Could Be Carried Out in Any Colors That Appeal - to Fancy of Maker. A decorative and dainty slipper pocket is shown in the accompanying sketch. It is made in pale pink art linen and may be cut out in two pieces, one piece forming the back, and the other the pockets; the latter piece of material is seamed down the center, so that it forms two separate divisions into which the slippers may be placed. The material is turned over at the top and hemmed down and either a thin piece of wood or a piece of cane run through. This is done in order that the pocket will retain its shape when hanging upon the wall. It is edged throughout with a pink and white cord carried-into loops on either side, again at the base, where the ends of the cords hang downwards and are knotted together and frayed out into tassels. The openings of the pockets are also edged with some of the same pink and white cord which is arranged in three little loops in the center. On the front of each of these pockets a, simple floral design is embroidered consisting of a white daisy with a yellow center and leaves in various sbades of green. At the top a loop of cord is provided for suspending the pocket from a nail in the wall. Other colors in which this useful at tide might be carried out are

pale blue linen with white cord and flowers worked in white thread? or pale green linen with pink cord and pink daisies.
