BASKETS FOR THE TABLE.
Decorative Effect as Well as Use
Baskets for Special Occasions.

Baskets OF one sort and another, OF
simple or more or less ornamental
character, have long been used for
holding fruit on tables, but within the
last few years there have come to be
offered for such use baskets specially
designed with a view TO their dec
orative effect.

And here is a table basket in the

is a gorgeous table basket of fine
work in the form and colorings of a
peacock. There is a table basket in
the shape of a chicken, and here is

In the form Of an eagle.
Sometimes table baskets are made

the form Of a billiard table. Where
such baskets are made specially it is
necessary to give the order well in
advance, for it must go to Europe to
be filled, table baskets, like almost
all other fancy baskets, being made
In Germany.
Besides being used for fruits table
baskets are sometimes used. for flow
ers. They cost from five to twenty

Blouse Novelty.

One of the most charming novelties
in the way of blouses has been
launched by a well known designer Of
unusual styles. This delightful little
waist is made of soft silk in the most
delicate of shell pink tones. The an
tire bodice and dropping sleeves are
formed of two-inch folds, one over
tapping the other. These run from
the high girdle over the shoulders, and
tuck in at the back, The sleeves are
formed of a continuation of plaits or
folds extending to the wrist, where
they narrow down to proportionate
dimensions. The neck is finished with
a high lace and batiste collar and
chemisette. Two rather more elab-
crate blouses of this character have
their folds an inch wide, and each one
edged with the narrowest lace to be
found. Besides giving the desired
broad shouldered effect the lace
softens the regular lines of the folds
SO carefully placed.

THE STORY.

0UT of the way! Out of the way,
" the kings son cometh.' The
shouting of the gayly.dressed heralds
who ran before the cavalcade, mingled
with h notes Of the buglers, caused
a scurrying and excitement in the mar.
row streets of Jerusalem. Those
abroad at that early hour sought ref
uge In the friendly hooks of the walls
Of the houses and in the doorways,
while the people within rushed to the
windows and doors to watch the pro.
cession as 1t passed.
The splendid turnout OF Absalom,
son OF King David and generally &C.
k~nowledged heir to the throne, had be.
come a familiar sight in Jerusalem
during the past few months, but the
people never tired of watching the
gorgeous procession as 1t p~assed-the
company of fifty feet unners leading
the way, the gayly caparisoned horses
and the g~listening bronze and gold
chariots, with their broad.shouldered,
brawny-armed drivers. and their splen.
didly a~ccoutered warriors. All fur.
nished a pleasing and animated picture,
the center Of which was the handsome
youth who rode with such dignity and
royal grace In the largest and most
splendid Of the chariots. As he passed,
the people fairly held their breath, so
enrapt were they with the rare beauty
OF the face and form. Never before
had they seen so regal a presence,
such a wealth of hair, such flashing
eyes, such rudy glow upon the full.
rounded cheeks, such graceful ,poise.
Many were the whispered words of
commentator, and approving mods,
and the people were pleased to think
OF the day when Prince Absalom
should succeed his father, David. on
the throne of Israel.
He is like one of the gods come 10

lem, but this was the first morning
that the shouting OF the heralds, the
notes Of the buglers, the clatter and
tramp Of the prancing horses and the
rumble of the chariots had been heard

the conjectures as to the reason for

Absalom noted the expressions Of

A seven room cottage house that
may be built for about $4,000 under
favorable circumstances Is here given.
Down stairs there is a parlor, dining
room and kitchen with one bedroom
and a bath room with an entrance
from the bedroom and another en-
trance from the kitchen. which facili-
tates warming the bath room from
the kitchen when there is no fire in
the furnace. There is a convenient
grade entrance to the cellar which
may be reached by four steps down
from the kitchen. This arrangement
leaves room in the corper Of the en-.
trance for a good sized refrigerator,
a provision that is valuable in any
house and one that is appreciated
b. every house.keeper.
The size of this little cottage Is
t~wenty-eight feet wide by thirty.eight
feet long, exclusive of the porch,
which Is not very large on the ground
and not very high; but there is
room for four rooms down stairs and
three rooms up stairs with a good I'M
finished attic for storage. and there
Is plenty of closet room. A woman
never gets too many closets. Archi.
tects are often worried because OF
they can find room for. One advant-
age of arranging bedrooms in the
roof like this is that the low portions
of the roof may be used to advant-
age for this purpose. Some women
prefer an attic over the bedrooms, but
many would rather have a store room
of this kind because 1t saves climbing
two pairs of stairs. 1t is impossible
to have every good thing included in
n plan. Cottage houses may be
lighter in construction than two story
houses and they are more economical
where the roof space is utilized as 1t
is in this house. The three bedrooms
on the second floor represent Just that
much room that you do not have to
provide siding for. The roof answers
for both cover and side enclosure.
Some years ago a nan built a house
like this on a good street in a thriv.
ing city. All the other houses on the
street wero larger and he was abused

Decorating with Flowers.

upon the character of the brlc.a.brac
whether this is necessary. Surely
enough must be removed to prevent
an impression of cr.wding when the
flowers are added. Very frequently,
however, some of the bric-a-brac can
be used with the floral decorations to
obtain an artistic effect. Pieces Of
brass and copper are very effective
used against green foliage and in
