One of the newest # new things this
winter il the pin basket. To make .
pretty one buy a small. shallow basket.
il should be quite fresh and new. II
possible secure one in which the edges
are nicely finished of with basket lace
work. Line it with silk of some pale
shade-pinlx. blue. green or violet Make
the lining loose und puffy. Only the
bottom of the basket is lined. Around
the sides-inside, of course-are at least
half a dozen minute pincushions made
of the same silk as was used in lining
The cushions should be attached to the
basket with baby ribbon of the required
shade. One cushion is flied with ordi-
nary pins, another with whitc-headed,
another with black. and SO on. APretty
idea is to gid the basket before trim
ming it.-St. Louis Republic.
