made from bands OF cretonne. For the
lining is used plain material OF some
bright color, preferably one found In
the pattern of the cretonne on the out
side OF the basket. Sateen is a good lin
ing, and between IL and the basket
frame should be placed layer of wad-
ding. The best lining Of all Is quilted
silk or sateen. the cotton or wadding
giving the suitable firmness to the In
terror.
The top OF the basket may be made OF
thick cardboard cushioned with wad-
ding and covered on the outside with
cretonne and on the inside with the
plain sateen. II a fiat lid OF basket work
can be obtained. IL is of course better
than pasteboard, as II allows the air to
circulate through it's meshes. The trim
mings OF the cover consist of ruchings
along the edges. with large fiat bow
OF ribbon on top, ribbons for hinges and
one band to securely tie down the open
front on the ends of the basket bows
or ribbon serve for handles. Pockets
on the inside OF the lining are devoted
10 the storing OF the sachet bags with
which the underwear is scented. When
the clothing comes from the hands of
the laundress, IL is folded up and laid
away In this dainty nest, where II es-
capes crushing underneath garments of
heavier weight. Some lingerie baskets
are even divided into compartments, a
traylike arrangement above being re.
served for nightrobes and other long
garments, with the exception of petit
coats, which are put away underneath
Straps OF ribbon on the underside OF
the cover are intended TO hold corset
covers. Some of the baskets are large
enough to permit skirt to be put away
after ii has been folded once vertically.
Usually the petticoat must be folded
twice. once vertically and once horizon
tally. Wicker hampers trimmed with
bows and lined with swiss applied over
colored silk or sateens are among the
more expensive. They are filled with
sets of trousseau lingerie.

is first needed for the purpose. One OF

The Turkish diuner should be served
to the men and women in separate
apartments. The favorite Turkish dish,

bowls on low tables which look some

rice and put IT into a kettle with a
quarter of a pound of butter. Let 1t
fry until the rice has absorbed the but

through a colander one quart OF raw or
canned tomatoes, adding TO the result
one quart of water. Put this mixture
on the fire. and as soon as II boils add
the rice previously set aside. Salt and
pepper II to taste. Covering the ves-
sci tightly. let the pilaf boil. When IT
is done, brown a quarter Of a pound OF
butter, pour II over the composition and

kind typical dishes Of different nations
were served. In each instance the host
ess, host and those who waited upon
the guests were dressed in costumes of
the countries represented.
Canapes of caviare constituted the first
course, a Russian one. since the best
caviare is made from the roes Of FISH
caught in Russian lakes and rivers.
Canapes are slices of bread which have
been toasted, fried or Drowned in the
oven before being covered with some
seasoning like the caviare. The bread Is
shaped either In circles about two or
three inches in diameter or in strips
two inches wide and four inches long
quarter of an inch is the correct
thickness for the bread. Caviare is a
favorite food i'm the empire of the great
white czar. Prepared in any way which
is preferred. II takes the place OF the
shellfsh, which usually forms the first
course at a formal dinner party.
In the second course Hungarian gou-
lash was substituted for soup. The
third course was a Norwegian one
baked Goldfish. The entrees were Ital-
ian timbales of macaroni and spaghetti
Sauerkraut cooked in German fashion
with frankfurters and served with rye
bread and limburger cheese formed an
other course. Roast beef with York
shire pudding and brimming glasses OF
ale, represented the fare of John Bull
A cheese souffie formed the French
course and a roasted turkey the Amer
lean one. Turkish "plaf' took the
place of salad and frozen sherbet was
emblematic Of the land of the shah.
The fruit course was supplied by
China, whose delicious preserved fruits
may be obtained in any city where

and therefore a dealer in native viands.

10 have the soups and fishes first and
the sweets last. Between the beginning
