ORIENTAL designs are now all the rage in Paris and London. One sees them in carpets , rugs, shawls, everything. Some are called Persian, and some Turkish ; and they are noted for the exquisite harmony of their colors. Of the two, the former are the more brilliant, and often, indeed , seem almost too glaring. We give above an engraving of a Turkish TobaccoPouch. It is made of colored cashmere, orna-
mented with stars and crescents of a contrasting color, appliqued and worked at the edges with silk of a bright color. After the four separate parts are joined together, a narrow black velvet is placed over the seams, worked over with bright-colored silk, according to our design. White kid, or chamois leather, is generally used for lining these bags. Ribbon-strings, and a tassel are needed to finish this bag. 75
