Democratic Sentinel, Volume 9, Number 5, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 February 1885 — The Clothes Basket Superseded. [ARTICLE]

The Clothes Basket Superseded.

As a substitute for the conventional clothes basket, a bag is now attached to a triangular table, with a movable top. The bag is hidden by a flounce either of serge, embroidered in crewels, or any fancy material, fixed to the woodwork and reaching to the ground. The top of the table, when on, serves its usual purpose of holding knickknacks. These receptacles are easily made, and generally at home. Another contrivance is to attach a bag to the ordinary towel horse, covering it with American cloth, which should fit ®s (compactly as possible, and fixing it to the lower rails, as the bag is behind. This idea could be carried out with advantage where economy of room is desixed.— American Queen.
