Madeline selected one,a small, flexible affair, of some dark-colored morocco lined with pink silk.

Of these sleek moroccos, cream-white or dyed with cochineal or pomegranate skins, are made the rich bags of the Chleuh dancing-boys, the embroidered slippers for the harem, the belts and harnesses that figure so largely in Moroccan tradeand of the finest, in old days, were made the pomegranate-red morocco bindings of European bibliophiles.

On my head is the skull-cap, covered by a high crimson cap with deep-blue tassel; and on my feet is a pair of thin yellow-morocco shoes, covered over with thick red-morocco babooshes.
