A Homemade Lunch Basket.

When we bought our motor car our
neighbors looked askance, and In stage

ment in our family outings, more than
repaid the expenditure. But We had to

in the cars equipment. We looked with
longing eyes on the expensive every
thing at-hand automobile lunch baskets,
but they were not for our meagre pocket
book. Then the mother of us-famOus
for making both ends meet--met the
exigency in this wise: She bought an
empty wicker hamper and equipped 1t
at small cost. Four aluminium cups at
ten cents apiece, a number of antiseptic
paper cups and q quantity of paper
plates and napkins, an oblong granite
dinner pail. such as workmen carry.
with separate compartments for coffee,
sand witches, etc.; an alcohol lamp for
heating tea, coffee or water by the way.

round tin box, which once held marsh
mallows, was the right shape for head
OF lettuce, and kept the well-washed
leaves crisp and fresh. Two tin cracker
boxes, one for sandwiches, the other for
cake, filled two corners OF the basket;
pasteboard box for fruit graced the
other end, while the straps on the lid
held cheap spoons, knives, forks, cork.
screw, etc.
Christmas brought . vacuum bottle to

efforts, and our lunch basket waa CON-

Camera Apron.

The camera apron was devised for the
convenient carrying of camera para.
phernalia on outof-door trips. A yard
and q quarter Of gray denim was used.
The body of the apron was . straight
piece, twenty.six inches long, with q
strip eleven inches deep across the bot
tom for pockets. The remaining eight
inch strip of denim WAS cut into three
pockets, two of which were placed above
and one as patch pocket over the mid.
die Of the lower row. Tape was used
for finishing the raw edges Of the three
pockets, and served also for dividing the
eleven.inch strip into three moro pock.
cts. All raw edges were flushed with
wide, white tape stitched twice. A fac.
ing Of thinner cloth was sewed on top
and drawstrings were run through. The
pockets held plato holders, focus cloth.
channels skin, record book, etc. Ono
upper pocket was lined with channels
skin for the shutter with bulb and Tub
ing, which needed spe,,ial protection.
All pockets closed with snap at the
top, and the whole was folded compactly
when NOT In use. For Q mans use this
might be made without the drawstrings
Ut the top, and 1t could be folded and
carried by shawl straps.
