Normandy or Fedora-three inches
deep around the top and full satin rib
bon bow on the front. Pass a band Of
narrow ribbon through one side to
strengthen one of the circular handles
and hang over a small brass hook, be-
side the bureau or window easement.
Unanswered letters, small papers, with
items of future reference, find safe
receptacle in this pretty continuance.
In a country home, where the sur
roundings are light, a large round basket,
with circular handles tinted brilliant
yellow, is used to hold growing palm.
The earthenware pot is placed in the
basket and set upon a tiled hearth under
the mantel shelf. 1t makes an effective
floral decoration The rich, glossy
green of the great, dropping leaves is in
fine contrast with the bright yellow Of
the basket, the rich mahogany of the
tiles and the warm, brownish tint Of
the oak. 1t is a simple matter to 1T the
pot out to the piazza for its daily water
ing and its hour of sunshine and air.
Later in the day it does duty again
within doors as suggested, or upon
cabinet shelf or center table.
The same round shield in smaller size
in delicate pink or yellow, containing a
pot of maiden hair fern or begonia,
placed on a mirror or embroidered linen
mat, is beautiful center piece for the
table at luncheon or dinner The pink
coloring gives a suggestion of La France
roses, with flmy veil of green in the
fern leaves. EMMA MoFFETT TYING.

NIGHT ON PoNTcHARTRAlN.

Night on Pcntchartrain-hcw the brilliant star
OF evening shines adown the western sky,
Slowly descending in its golden car,
As if inclined to tRgcr; while on high,
Her cup of light half filed. the moon floats by,
Tipping stray clouds with silver. as through
space
They, wandering chance to meet her radiant
eye
Night on Pontchartrain-and for such a night
We gladly hail the closing OF the day.
How soft, but yet how brilliant, is the light
OF yon fair stars that food the heavenly way,
Twinkling and shining still with lambert ray
Like beauteous eyes oft opened and Oft sealed,
Showing meath languid Ids bright display.
And the soft sounds that fan upon the ear
Are well accordant 20 the lovely scene
So soft Silence herself listener.
Is not disturbed by them; yet so serene
That the low whisperings Of the winds, ween,
Can scarce be called zephyr, while the sound
OF murm' ring ripples cometh still between

The Andes Sinking.

The startling announcement is made
that the Andes are slowly sinking into
the earth's crust. As proof OF this La
Gazette Geographique says that Quito
was 1856 feet above the level of the sea
in 1745; in 1900 it was only 9 $40; in 1881,
9,567, having sunk twenty-six feet dur
ing the tifty-fve years following 1745, and
but three feet during the thirty-one years
which interviewed between 1900 and 1881.
In 1868 the city's level had been reduced
to $3.50 feet above the level of the Pa
cifc. To sum up the total, we find that
Ecuador's capital has sunk seventy-six
feet in 1919 years. Antisanas farm, the
highest inhabited spot on the Andes
1900 feet higher than Quito, the highest
city on the globe, is said by the same
authority to be 215 feet lower than it was
in 1745.

What woman, ever diligent with her
dainty needlework on the piazza Of the
summer hotel at the seaside or among
the mountains, can resist purchasing
"just one more" each time the vender
of fancy splint or sweetgrass baskets
makes his round and temptingly spreads
his fascinating wares before her? In
few weeks baskets of all shapes and
sizes unconsciously accrue. There is
but little thought Of their utility or fut-
ure purpose, but for the present they
are entrapping IN their freshness Of col
oring and uniqueness Of form. They
are a nuisance to pack in the home COM
ing, and after that what is their service?
The small, round baskets, delicately
colored, pink, blue or brilliant yellow,
bound about the top with sweetgrass,
are Just the convenient size for small
pieces of linen work, with the accompa-
nying silks, scissors, needles and small
pin cushion. The oblong baskets of sweet
grass and splints can be used for gloves
and handkerchiefs Line these with
pretty colored China silk by sewing a
strip slightly full around the edge, just
beneath tho rolled finish, and turning it
over like ruffle to reach the depth of
the basket. Make a thin, fat sachet of
the silk, tufted at intervals with tiny
bits of narrow ribbon, and place in the
bottom of the basket. A bow of satin
ribbon, with four or five loops on the
top, completes the ornamentation. This
makes pretty and useful gift for birth
days or Christmas.
In some of the circular baskets the
splints are curled, which enhances their
appearance. The small square ones of
medium depth, lined with silk or
chamois, placed on the corner of the
mantel shelf or library table, are excel
lent cigar holders.
The deep, narrow, fat shapes, with
large round handles, are useful as wall

How RHe Made Them Swarm,

A prosperous farmer that does not
live q thousand miles from this place,
whom we will call Harve, keeps a few
stands Of bees. They were somewhat
slow about swarming this season, of
w!iich he complained to his ncighbor.
The said neighbor with malice afore-
thought, told him that his grand. father
had often made them swarm by throw
ing them up in the mir with paddle.
Hurve fastened home to try the expert
ment on his siothful distillers of the
sweet. He gathered up something less
than half bush1 on Il clapboard and
gave them toss heavenward. Then
they swarmed. About a gallon fell on
the back of n sleepy donkey standing
near, as many moro on n mule that
was looking on, and double handful
on the back of Harve's neck. Then
chaos reigned supreme. The mulo ''lit"
out for Central, jennet made for the
house, knocked over the cradle and up
set The table, while there was a regular
cylone of man, bees, brush and cuss
words in the yard. The farmer ran in
the house and hoored the jcnnet with a
chair, the good wife and children fled to
the woods and the bees held the fort
tho balance of the day. Harvc says the
