Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 160, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 July 1911 — USE FOR THE FIG BASKET [ARTICLE]

USE FOR THE FIG BASKET

Berries Served. In One of the Little Affairs Seem to Taste Fresher. The little round baskets in which figs are so often sold are worth saving. In most households they are thrown away as soon as the figs are eaten; often the figs are removed by a servant and the basket Immediately thrown away without anyone noticing howdpretty it is. A girl who likes to have* things served in original ways can make use of. these little baskets if she will take the trouble to save them. They are quite flat and much the same shape as a saucer, and berries served In one of these little baskets really seem to tadte fresher. Especially does one get the effect of newly picked berries if the basket is first lined with leaves and the berries laid on the leaves. If it is possible to get the leaves of the particular berry that Is used It will give the best effect, but if they are not in reach other green leaves will do very well.
