J French women stow these delicate
articles In what Is called a lingerie
basket , covered with cretonne and
trimmed with ruchings and lace , inter
. lined with plain color In harmony
with Its contents. This forms quite a
pretty adjunct to my lady's chamber ,
and the cover Is generally wadded , a
large , flat bow on the top. Ribbons
form the hinges , but there are pockets
Inside for holding sachet bags , which
_ . . . . . . give the different articles a delightful
aroma. In these baskets these dainty
.
' . > garments are not In any way crushed ,
and sometimes they are divided In
four and have a series of trays for
each kind of lIniterle. It should be
large enough to hold a petticoat at I
the base , and the corset covers are I
stowed away under straps at ribbon I
I' . In the lid. These baskets are mostly
of wicker , and are rather a pretty
present to give a bride , or , Indeed ,
to any friend.

the plaits In both waist and skirt with

brown chiffon velvet and the trimming
of ecru lace. The blouse Is n most be

A Fish Net Photograph Holder.
A college girl has solved the prob.
lem of disposing of her growIng collection -
lectlon of pictures and photographs
In this manner :
She bought a coarse mesh fish net
and tacked It taut on a wall. Then
the four corners of the photographs
were tucked Into the mesh of the net
and held tight. While ; the net affords
no protection from dust , flies and in
qulsltlve fingers , In this day of lnex
pensive photography pictures coma
and go with amazing frequency , and
one often lays aside a photograph r
which has grown out of date for a
new one of the same persoJ.

Cool Drink for Invalids.
A deliciously cool and refreshing
drink for an Invalid Is orange pulp
served In a glass. To prepare It you
cut the fruit In halves crosswise and
scoop out the pulp , rejecting all the
seeds and white flber. A sharp knife
may be used to aid In the process , so
that the delicate globules may be
broken as little as possible. Sprinkle
with sugar and stand the glasses on
Ice for ten minutes. Pineapple syrup
may be added to give zest.
