ployed in the cities.
One enumerator has yet to furnish

JAPANESE BAMBOO BOXES
They Come In Nests and Are Useful
for Holding Many Articles Of Young
Girls Wardrobe.

japanese bamboo boxes. which come
In nests. are useful for holding the
many trifies OF a young girls ward
robe. Il is only recently that these
offerings from the orient could be Oh
tanned here. but now all the leading
shops dealing in eastern goods keep
them. The original set comprises six
rectangular receptacles about two or
two and a half inches 10 depth. BY
using the larger OF each group OF two
for the y one may have three sep
arate and convenient places in which
TO keep ribbons. gloves. collars and
the various trinkets which so easily
lose themselves in a dresser drawer.
The rich reddish brown OF the BAN
boo cannot fail to please the eye OF
any girl. The wood is split into strips
about half an inch wide and woven to
gether in al open basket pattern.
The edges are strongly bound with
strips of the bamboo laced together.
Other baskets are to be found in this
INT material. and the fern holders
are unusually charming when filled
with fresh green moss and delicate
green sprays. These baskets are lined
with dull brass boxes. which slip into
the bamooo part. so that they do not
show from the outside. For country
houses they are particularly well
adapted. and so are the large handled
baskets for holding the garden flow
ers as they are freshly culled.
japanese straw sandals are another
useful article which can be picked up
In these oriental shops. They have
woven soles Of grass or fiber. with
cross straps Of lowered silk to match
ones kimonO. or II they do not
match in eoloring the original straps
can be covered with a silk that does.
Other sandals have embroidered COW
erings for the toes and are heelless
