WOMAN’S PAGE. Baskets in Decoration of Rooms BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. A Falling Out. If 1 with you cannot agree, 0f course, You should agree with me. —Polly Chuck Johnny and Polly Chuck had awak- | ened from the long sleep which had |lasted all Winter. They had been awake for a week or more. They had been very fat when first they came out, but already they were beginning to grow thin.

Wood baskets to hold logs for the open fire should not be obtrusively conspicuous, but they should be dec~ orative. These baskets may be the regulation type, with open ends, rather square sides and standing on feet that oftentimes are prolonged ends of stout handles. The weaving may be plain or in simple geometric patterns, but the baskets are invariz ably ong and substantial Wood Baskets. Since such baskets are not cheap | they may come beyond the price that homemakers can afford at the time when the open fires are most enjc able. Fortunately there are other baskets that may be had at small cost and which are good-looking and appropriate. One of these is a large Xind of basket made by the Chinese. 1t is sometimes called a Chinese wood basket and is said to be used by them when they gather fagots, though it is probably a general utility basket. Another kind of basket excellent for the purpose is found in shops carry- which come packed in hey are used by the shop- keepers as container anges, apples, eto, tables.
