Secure at the ten cent store or | wherever you can find them the bright ! little splint baskets, such as are pic- | tured here. Cut and pull out thel strand of colored shavings that have | been placed in them for ornament.‘ Run In, instead of the shavings a rlb-‘ bon of the same width. A thin, in-! expensive satin ribbon I8 just the right kind for this purpose. Tie the ribbon in a small bow at the front of | the basket, Light green and light | blue, or colors corresponding with those In the basket, are prettiest. Red and green are fine, if the basket is lni the natural wood or bamboo color, These little baskets may be gilded with gold paint and made very attrac- tive. After the candy has been eat- en the basket will remain a pleasant reminder to the recipient of the do- nor's deliclous Christmas gift. Paraffine or tissue paper should be placed in them to protect them from the candy. They will serve so many purposes | later —thread boxes, handkerchief, ribbons, laces, gloves—all these need ! boxes. But the prettiest use for| them is as a receptacle for small flowers used in table decorations, By | fitting them with a scallow tin cup or part of a can, and throwing back | the lid, they make a charming decora- tion for the table, filled with foliage | and flowers | JULIA BOTTOMLEY | Dress Shields. !
