The color of the grounding for this slipper may of course be left to the taste of the worker ;but we would suggest a bright sky-blue or apale shade of green, as being the most suitablecontrast to the brown skin of the tiger. In anycase the grounding should not be of a darkcolor, as the effect of the work would be en-tirely spoiled ; the tigers skin, being somewhatrich and heavy, requires a light shade to throwit up nicely. « ? * • > BRAIDING PATTERNS,.
