flu! forms, one the vase shape with the
overarchins handle. the other the wide

lar of the new baskets are the reed
and burnt bamboo ones that come in
every conceivable shape and form.
Some of the prettiest Of these are
dies by which they may be hung on
the porch or at the windows How
ever. many prefer to use them just us
any other ordinary vase or flower
holder, a bit of vine or smilax being
twined around the handle.
One dainty and inexpensive basket
was filled with delicate pink sweet
peas and asparagus fern, the handle
tied with Il bow of pale blue satin rib
bon. Another, Il little round fiat one
of the reddish brown burnt bamboo
was filed with orange and scarlet mas
turtiums
All the baskets that are used for ia
Die or room decoration are fitted with
tin or glass containers for water. For
the large flowers that look hest in big
loose punches there are number OF
large baskets made in the same shapes

terry jars that are used SO much. One
of these in the burnt bamboo was
filled with a huge bunch of holly

long stenmed American Beauties.
Some of these baskets are made in

Last Saturday night just be.

of Lexington was destroyed by
fire while the family was in
Darden. Mr.. Denver and wife
and sister, Miss Lillian, went to
Darden on the late train aud the
elder Mrs. Denver had been alb
sent some time. The origin of
the fire was unknown anu Mr..
Denver stated Sunday that there
had been no fire in the house
since Saturday at noon. The
good home, which was almost
wrecked in the cyclone of March
ID, 1913, was this time totally
wiped out, as was the complete
furnishing, including the piano,
which Yves the property OF Miss
Lillian. We are informed that
the entire insurance will hardly
more than replace the house,
hence the loss on furnishings is
total---or may be 81 considered.
The loss falls with crushing
weight on the family. who
had hardly recovered from the
loss occasioned by the cyclone

in Lexington. But for the avail
