Furred Winter Shoe, 1859 
------------------------


...particularly nice for sleighing, or other riding in winter. If desired
it can be made large enough to wear over the other shoe. If home-made,
a cork sole might be substituted for a leather one. The upper part of the 
shoe should be made of cloth, and lined with thick canton-flannel. The shoe
may be trimmed with any kind of fur around the top, and is fastened at the 
sides with bands of elastic. It has become so much the fashion, lately, for 
ladies to make their own shoes...
