THE IDEAL IN BABY BASKET.
OF Wicker, Lined with Mercerized
Saline and Covered with
Paris Muslin.

A fascinating baby basket just made
for a young mother was of wicker,
shallow and oblong. 1t was lined with
mercerized Saline, pink, of high luster,
and covered with Paris muslin, which
is as dainty looking as organdie and
much more durable.
The pink lining was put in plain, but
the muslin was gathered slightly at
top and bottom of the sides, the bot
tom being plain. Double strips of
inch-wide valenciennes insertion were
arranged across the bottom to form a
diamond.
Along each side were pockets of the
elastic and edged with narrow lace
The fronts of the pockets as well as of
the long pin cushion across one end
and. the equally long stiffened cover
with leaves of flannel underneath to
hold safety pins at the other end were
also stripped with insertion in dia
mond effect.
Where each pocket and cushion
joined the basket the sewing was con
cealed under fluffy rosettes of pink
baby ribbon.
The ruffle that fell over the sides
was made of straight strips of the
Paris muslin, with an inch-wide hem
at the bottom, and above it eighth oil
an inch tucks half inch apart, with
baby ribbon sewed between each tuck
The ribbon was put on plain, though II
would have been equally pretty If g
width wider ribbon was used anC
gathered at the upper edge.
