Trinket Baskets as Gifts

r ACH OF the four sides of a little
r trinket basket may be cut from
L. moderately heavy cardboard and
the front and back of each covered with
rose-embossed and plain pink crepe pa
per respectively. The botbm is, Of
course, a square, and plain pink on both
sides. In each of its corners a hole is
punched, and also in those of the four
side sections. The parts are then tied
together with half-inCh ribbon
The basket is but six inches high,
which is just right for use upon the
dresser, mantel or table.
BY increasing the size of the several
sections and using heavy pulp-board
for the foundation, "A durable and artis-
tic waste basket can be produced. The
'poinsettia' crepe paper makes a stIIk-
ingly effective decoration for a large
basket, as do the pine cone" and In

X n OTHERS who are looking for
MI something just a little bit novel
NI in the way OF children's enter

dolls Christmas party. It Is certain to
meet with the enthusiastic approval OF
the little mothers. even IL the dollies
themselves preserve their customary
complacent and unchanging stare during
all the festivities that are planned in
their honor.
Children love to help, and the wise
mother will arrange to have her little
girl take part in all the preparations
that are made First of all. the note
must be written, and this the child
mother might do on tiny note paper in
her dolls name. The wording could be
something on this order:
Dear Belinda:
Please sSs, ask your mamma to bring YOU to
Cember 26. at 3 o'clock. Lovingly yours
"CHRYSTAL MORRIS
or course the dolls must have a
Christmas tree. and here again the child
can do her part. Since the tree is to be
tiny, a top branch from the child's own
tree-if its work is done-can be used.
Otherwise small evergreen affairs are to
be had for a trifing sum in most cities,
and almost for the asking in the coun-
try.
Plant the tree in an ordinary fiowerpot
or bucket, packing the earth closely
around It. for 1t must be held firm.

leisurely across the Pacific from the

there she will proceed to Bremerton to

The Oregon has been on the Asiatic

Los Angeles Shriners
viii Know Them
Soon.

DIR. NJ. f, Grossman leaves for the
Coast next month, possibly in the
steamship Mongolia, to attend the an
nuaI, conclave of Shriners at Los Ange-
les. He will represent Aloha Temple
of Honolulu at the big meeting, and it
will be one of his endeavors to induce
Shriners to extend their trip TO Homo
lulu.
81 expect that at least fifty or fifty
five Shriners will make the trip to
Honolulu, - said Dr. Grossman last
evening, 81 if they can secure proper ac-
commodations in the steamers and can
be assured that they will get good ac-
commodations for the return trip to
the Coast
"The effort we made last year to in
duce the Shriners to make migration
to Honolulu has practically been given
up owing to lack of assurance that these
people could get accommodations for
the return trip. However, 7 will make
the effort to get as many of them to
come over here as possible.
The doctor is planning some unique
forms of entertainment at Los Angeles
for his fellow -Shriners. One of them
will be poi cocktails, SO it is said. He
intends to take barrel of poi along,
and will make Hawaii S name known
through the medium of the famous re
Operative qualities of the poi cock

In some mysterious way a portion
of the cargo of the Ventura was dam
aged by water on the trip from San
Francisco to Honolulu. The agents
are at loss to know just how water
could have entered the cargo hold
where this particular lot of stuff was
stored. The officers of the ship could
not account for its presence.
Another thing that makes it mys-
FERROUS is the fact that not more than
half of it is salt water, the other half
apparently being fresh. Nevertheless,
quite lot of goods were damaged,

HOMEWARD BOUND.
Returning Tourists Crowd Every
Steamer from Europe.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE crush of
returning European travel has set in,
and every arriving steamer is crowded
to its capacity with homecoming
Americans. All bring back a story of
the harmful effect in Europe of the re-
cent discussion and disclosures in our
business world. The foreign press
made much of this material in cam
paign against American products in
favor of their home industries.
Inquiry here indicates that while the
first announcements resulted in an al
most total cancellation of orders, that
a more normal condition has returned,
and that now most houses are export
ing up to their former figures. The
beef trade, which was most injuriously
affected, has so recovered that the eN-
ports are now but Is per cent. below
normal.
There has been a most marked re-
duction in the export trade for petrol
cum, where 60 per cent. of the entire
petroleum production of the United
states goes and a serious injury to the
american products has resulted.
