House-slipper

If a woman wants a velvet house-slipper such as we formerly sold at 1s. 3d. per pair, she has now to be satisfied with an inferior-wearing article for the same price, as the 1907 tariff put 6d. fixed duty on a velvet slipper, thus adding about 50 per cent.

It will be found amost comfortable plan to take with one a pair of house-slippers (p.176).

We take off the little house-slipper things they gave us and put on our shoes.
