The basket lined with shirred silk IN

muslin over old rose sateen, was fran

founces the silk or muslin was cut out
IN points 10 fit the sides OF the baskets
and edged With double row Of gath
cred lace frils. The lower frill. a little
the longer OF the two, almost covered
the legs Of the basket, a double bow

tray was applied. The baskets. each

powder box, brushes and combs, pow

We're numerous among the gifts. Sew

of the wood were turned out as well

with silk flowers. Although these were
by no means novel. they were eagerly
sought by several ladies.
"A pretty photograph holder is never
amiss When n doubt. we always
give such frames. and the embroidered
linen ones are so dainty" said one
member.
