Sharp Criticism.
London, Aug. 17. —The Pall Mall Ga
zette comments on the "cxMaordin.Cv

P'rots similar to those used by tbe
Times. It sharply erltic sra the pro
ceeding, drawing attcnllta to it in the
similarity to the German action during
the British bombardment of Zanzibar
when the usurping Sultan sought ref
uge at the German consulate. The Ga
zette says:

My Lady's Slippers.
My lady’s slipper sees a very radical
change this summer. It is no more
plain and unadorned, no longer does a
simple little bow or unobtrusive ro
sette ornament it. Instead, tjje slip
per is now a very gorgeous affair. It
glistens, both by sunlight and the
gleam cf gas or electricity, for It is a
jeweled slipper, and oftener than oth
erwise elaborately jeweled. The style
is to have these slipper jewels match
the pin or necklace you are wearing,
both in the gems themselves and in the
setting. When fantastic and curious
designs are worn, in oddly finished
gold, the effort is exceedingly pictu
resque. and attractive. Rhinestones
are to be favorite slipper ornaments
of the'sumin“r. diamonds being of
course' ton valuable to be allowed to
twinhie carelessly on one’s foot. The
ornament most admired will be a gold
or jeweled bit ’yle. either large or
gmail. This will rest upon a bow or
rosette of satin, and will be of many
quaint and odd designs. Philadelphia
