Take two tapering baskets, such as peaches are shipped in, and fasten them together, bottom to bottom, making an hour-glass shape. Line the inside of each basket, but use different colors, say one pink, the other blue; cambric will answer for the lining. For a cover, select whatever material may suit the fancy, and work some designs in outline upon it; fasten this cover to the basket from top to bottom, and draw in the middle with a ribbon. By selecting baskets of a proper size, they may be made serviceable for office use.

It will be observed that this makes, in reality, two baskets, or rather a reversible basket.
