strongly bound with strips of the BAN boo

holders are unusually charming when
hlled with fresh green moss nnd delicate
green sprays. These baskets ars lined
with dull brass boxes. which slip into the

japanese tray, which comes in several
sizes. The cretonne and chint2 ones are

called the pheasant tea set ON account
of the bird being used AS feuture of

pieces are well shaped and are not so
expensive as TO placo the set beyond

An oval tray covered with chiniz In

prcSsions of delight from those who en-

tray had a woven bamboo rim stained

Is 10 have them placed ON large tea
