OF the lifting The room Is well

window she has several shelves,
enameled green. There are no cur
tnins at the window, but there Is a
Eeavy Holland shade, which Is drawn
to help keep out the cold-aieht -e4y.
On The bottom shelf this woman
plants seeds in a window box every
mountaineering glory and mas
turtiums. Every three weeks she
plants a few more seeds, and she has
blooming nasturtiums and morning
gfories adj winter long. They trail
over the edges Of The box and climb
ur Strings at the sides of the win
dow and altogether make a most
faliuring display. On the higher
sheives this housewife keeps potted
plants OF various sorts, and moves
them about TO other parts of. the
room, bringing them back for
couple of days in the sun every once

Strong one. Then enamel it. SO, that
it will be smooth--and Of course the
enamel will add to its brightness and
prettiness.
II you wish to have further
smoothness, place a neatly cut piece
of heavy, colored cardboard in the
bottom Of the basket.
Now go about filling the basket.

and the hands spin around. You, roll
the tape back in by turning the

You can fasten all the implements
to the f1antffe Of the basket or to the
edge with ribbons to keep them from
being easily lost.
Of course your work baskets or
boxes or bags must vary with the
ages of those you would give them
to. For any age, however, the
dainty little wakes made like apples
or cucunbers, carrots or tomatoes
ore attractive. And the attractive
measuring tape, too, is good choice.
Some are concealed in little celluloid
baskets of fruit colored to life.
There are, for the older sewers.
very pretty needle cabinets which
hold all sizes and sorts Of needles,
and are at the same time decorative.
Some are in the form Of closed UNI
brellas, and the handle unscrews to
free the needles.
For work bags some Of the heavy.
washable cretonnes are good choice
washable, not because the bag will
be washed, but because these wash
