HOW TO MAKE A
PARASOL WORK BASKE 7

No one has ever imagined that there
vas so much affinity between q para
sol and an overgrown desk file, but
there is, and a combination Of the two
makes an article at once very useful
and distinctly ornamental.
The wise woman, when she makes a
parasol work basket or baby basket
first lines the small parasoI with China
silk and binds IL with ribbon to make
IL strong 4 frilI Of ribbon is added 10
the upper edge and then the parasol is
ready for its foundation and furniture.
A desk hIe with a good, wide bottom
is heavy enough to make an excellent
support for the ferrule Of the parasol.
ANY suitable support OF about the same
size and shape serves the purpose.
The support is covered with wad-
ding and lambs wool, and then a
dainty bow, and very usel2i pin
cushion is effected. When one doesn't
want a cushion on the floor the base of
the stand is merely covered with silk
and trimmed with a bow Another bow
il sewed TO the ribbon binding of the
parasoi furrule where it meets the
cover. and a larger bow to the top Of
the handle.
The inner sides Of the Darasol are
fitted up with different sizes OF pocket

top and arranged with drawing STRINGS.

small space and vet never look any
thing but pretty and attractive.
To fix a paTasol up for a babys use
the pockets along the inner side should
be lined with oiled silk, for the soap
box and bathing articles, but no lining
Is required for the little powder pud
pocket, brush and stocking bag and the
larger pockets intended for baby's suit
of underwear. Cushions for pins and
safety pins are necessary, and one
small needlebook, with thread and
thimble. for in these days Of scientific
baby nursing, the nurse always ssWS
up the backs Of the little garments SO
that buttons and safety pins cannot
mar nor hurt the tender back of the
little one.
