Marry in haste and repent at lei
sure says the old proverb, but so
much depends on circumstances that
most people would find i difficult to
say on the spur of the moment whether
they think long or short engagements
are wisest.
1t would be rather foolish, 'of course,
for an elderly couple who have made
up their minds that they are suited to
each other In every way to delay and
so lose precious time.
But. on the other hand, for young
people an engagement lasting for two
or three ear has many. advantages.
During that time the couple have
leisure to study each others ways, to
find out what tastes they have in COM
mon and to make up their minds def
initely as to whether they are suited to
one another or not. 1t is far better 10
find out that you have made a mistake
before marriage thar after.

With RATA Innumerable Pretty
Designs May be Woven by
Amateur Artists.
, BY | WISE.

IF you want to beautify your home
with little expense try basket MAX
ing.
There is an Oriental material called
rata that makes the construction of
the basket easy work. 1t is an X
ceedingly pliable and yet tough sub
stance that can be woven in and out OF
the reeds that form the skeleton of the
basket and it lends itself to all kinds of
originality in the shaping Of the article
made, so that anyone with a fancy for
this sort of thing can devise astonish-
ingly odd designs in basketry.
1t Is not advisable to follow any fash
ion in the basketry. The more novel
the shapes the better. y
One very odd design is made of card
board disks covered with the rata.
The cardboard was first cut the de-
sired shape, five of the disks being made
OF exactly the same size. The centre of
each disk was then cut out.
The cardboard was covered with the
material, the centre being left open.
AK @CAAtAdi space was tUeu parity COW
cred in with a disk Of material of diff
ferent colors, the disk being fastened
into place with crossed threads.
When the five larger disks were fin
ished one was used to make the bottom
of the basket and the other four for
the side, says the writer in the Phil
adelphia Press.
In the same am @ work basket
or collar basket can be made.
The bottom is made Of a cardboard
disk, covered with the rata, and the
sides are formed of a cardboard col
lar covered in the same way.
The sides are stitched to the bottom
piece and thus the box is finished, all
but the lid, which is made in the same
way, with the addition Of an embroid-

signs in knitted silk scarfs. One Of
these is a basket YEA with the usual
intersecting stripes, but sthe edge of
each stripe is much Darker tina the
body of the stripe, 50 that there is an
effect of depth and shadow that is
very handsome.
one sees q number oil black shoes
with colored tops on the streets these
days. They look very theatrical. par

sack suits, as some Of them are,
1t is better taste to avoid these violent
things.
One Of the shops TAI been showing
a blue-shirt window. All kinds of blue
shirtings. from very dark to very pale
blue, and having either white or colored
stripes, were exhibited. Some of the
shirts were very handsome, as blue is
always q good color. The newer models
were made with seven box plaits and
in the centre of each plat a fancy
design, either in diamonds or In a vine
effect, in q sister shade of blue. The
shirt with diamonds was very pale and
the diamonds on the plaits very dark.
1t is to be noted that very many
more men than formerly consider silk
socks a necessity. and particularly Is
this so since the very general introduce
tion OF silk socks made from domestic
silk. II has brought what was for
merly a luxury within the reach Of al

The design for the stenciling in this
instance is simple and rather crude.
but it serves 10 show how easy 1t is to
make a really artistic basket with very
little trouble.
BY stenciling lines around the basket
the effect of different colored material
is given.

the weaving in that direction and the
work proceeds as before.
II the sides are to bend out. the
framework is bent in the desired direc-
ton. These reeds bend and do not
break so that there is no trouble in
fashioning the basket in any way in

When the sides are built up to the
right height hey are finished off by
turning down the ends of the Skeleton
reeds to form an ornamental edge.
Much must be left to the ARTIST in
the matter of finishing off and orna-
menting. The actual work is simplicity
itself.
