PRETTY WORK BASKET.
Something Which an Ingenious Boy Can
Easily Construct.

Something Which an Ingenious Boy Can
Easily Construct.
There are many home convcnicnces
that Il boy can make in his spare time
which will please his mother, make his
big sisters proud of his abilities, and
ut the same time give him practical
experience in mechanical work. The
design submitted gives simple details
for the construction of basket for
holding feminine work or photographs
that can easily be made with small
saw and giinlct. The material used
may be holly or any compact nice
looking wood that suits the taste;
quarter inch board thirty inches long
and twelve inches wide will be suf1i-
cicnt to construct one Of these bas-
kets.
On one end of the board, with a COM
pass or pencil and string, draw the
dotted circle and the included hexa
gon for a bottom to the basket Any
one can do this easily and accurately
by using the same radius length of
string or spread of compass. 70 di-
vide off the circumference of the
dotted circle into six equal parts and
connect these points by the boundary
sides forming the heXagon, with small
ginlet bore holes in the middle of each
side and one on each side of the center
for the sides and middle piece; meas
ure the height on the dotted center
lines, draw the parallel top and bot
tom lines and lay off the widths on
either side Of the center as Indicated
A handle may be made by saving out
an oval place in the middle partitions;
bore holes in the corners and one in
the middle of the bottom of each board,
smoothing down the work with fine
sandpaper or glass.
To fasten these parts together five
yards of inch wide satin ribbon will be
plenty. Todecorate according to design
given, take a piece of ribbon and draw
one end through middle bottom hole
in side piece; then separate the ends
and carry up an end to each up
per corner, where it meets a similar
ribbon from the next side, and doub-

cotton goods sometimes sold under
this name. Atwood challis sells at
from so cents to 81 a yard; some at the
latter price have narrow satin stripes.
A perfectly satisfactory article can be
bought for rs cents, and as the width
Is so inches a great number of yards is
not needed. The cotton and wool mix
lures sell as low-as 5 cents, but good
quality usually sells for so cents.
When dark color is desirable, the all
wool goods are prcfcra bic, but in light
tints and cream grounds those contain
Ing cotton are reliable.
Ginghams are shown this spring in
dots stripes and plaids; the colors are
beautifully clear and bright. French
ginghams sell at from 40 to IS cents a
yard, Scotch from 25 to S715 cents;
both are 80 inches wide. The cheaper
ginghams are not suitable for dresses,
because they continue to shrink with
each washing, becoming smaller and
more out of shape. Before making up
any gingham it should be shrunlk.
The pleasure of having a waist that
will keep its shape and skirt that
keeps its length will moro than com.
pensate for the extra trouble.
Fig. is a pretty and stylish model
by which to make waist for house
dress out of either of the materials de.
scribed, and SO simple that an amateur
will have no trouble with it. First,
cut and fit a plain, round waist, max.
ing the neck V-shapcd in front. Care.
fully fasten the front together wi: q
pin, so the edges will meet as when fin.
ishcd; measure the distance from the
shoulder seam on the right side, wha~-
1t ends at the neck, to the bottom of rns
waist on the left at a point TIRES
inches from the middle Of the front
closing. This distance for medium.
sized person viii usually be about
twenty inches. Cut from the material
two pieces this length and twelve
inches wide; hem one side of each,
using a blind stitch, and gather across
one end. Open the shoulder seams
which ought thus far to be only bastcd
and haste the gathered end on to tho
front along the line of the seam; re-
haste the shoulder seam, uniting the
front and back, and stitch all the
seams.
In the sketch (Which represents a
gingham dress the inside edge of the
straight pieces is finished with two
inch-wide ruillc of the material, which
Is carried round the back of the neck

Hints Concerning tho Selection Of
Suitable Material.
Every Woman Should Try to Look Neat
and Her Clothes should he as
stylish and IS Costly rs Her
Purse Can Buy.

A good quality OF material should al
ways be chosen. This does not neces-
sarily call for very expensive goods, for
the high price of dress goods is often
caused by the Introduction Of some
new style of weaving, figure or color,
making it for the time a novelty"
Two materials that can well be called
standards, whose desirablity time has
proved, are challis and ginghams.
Nothing better can be found for sum-
mer dresses intended for home wear.
Challis are of two kinds, wool and
wool and cotton mixed. There is also

row hem in which a tape is run. They
are shirred on this until they measure
about seven inches across. The advan.
tage OF the tape for wash goods is that
the gathers can be let out when the
dress is ironed. When wool goods are
used, gather and hem down on to a
tape or ribbon.
For the belt, cut piece of the goods
on the bias long enough to reach around
the waist and seven inches wide; lay in
irregular folds until it is three or four
inches wide, sew to covered whale
bone front and back and fasten wit h
hooks and eyes.
Fig. Is an excellent pattern for a
skirt. 1t consists Of Straightforward
front and back and side cores. It
should measure at least four yards
round the bottom when put together.
For skirt made Of challis, pretty
trimming would be narrow rufae.
