HOW TO MAKE A LAMP SHADE.

Fold yard and half of wide china
silk twice, cut to make three pieces
exactly alike. Sew two pieces together
and turn a hem two and q half inches
deep for the top; overcast the bottom.
Run a shirr next the hem, another two
inches below, and one one inch below
that. Place on the shade frame and
draw the top shirr string to fit the frame,
allowing the wide hem to arrange itself
into graceful puff; draw the other shirrs
to fit the frame. Now take the other
piece of silk and cut into exactly three
pieces for the ruffle. This allows a
whole breadth extra to full. Sew
the three. pieces together and ''pink"
both edges. Shirr about one inch from
the top and sew to the bottom of the
shade. A handsome spray of flowers and
lace rufHe over the silk one adds to its
beauty, but it is very handsome without
these. If the frame is not large enough
small wire may be looped around it
very easily, making any sized desired

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
WALL POCKET FOR BOSOM BOARD.

Gray linen, white muslin, red worsted,
medium. sized scarlet cord and scarlet
braid. Cut the cover to fit your ironing
board-a rather loose fit is most desira-
ble-out of the gray linen. Line with
the muslin and trim and finish with the
scarlet braids and worsteds to suit your
fancy. Some simply bind the edges;
Others quill the braid all round them,
while other crochet scalloped edge into
the scarlet braid. At the top of the in
side lining a little pocket may be made
to hold the ironing-holder. As the
bosom board, which is also used for the
ironing of cuffs and collars, should be
kept clean, these pretty holders are not
only convenient, but they add spot Of

A JAPANESE ROOM.

The Japanese house is full of empti-
ness, for the Japanese have learned the
art of doing without. The floor, spot
lessly clean and covered with padded
rafting, serves for table, chair and bed;
the wooden chopstlcks do away with
knives, forks and spoons, and the hibachi
of hot charcoal is the substitute for fire.
place, poker and tongs. As the women
wear no petticoats, bonnets, hats, gloves,
boots, shoes and stockings, nor jewelry,
great wardrobes and chests of drawers
for clothes are unnecessary, and as house
hold and personal linen is not used
presses are not required. Thus Japan
ese household is so arranged as not to
need the services of the laundress, the
chimney sweep, the knife and plate
cleaner, the shoemaker, the bonnet
maker, the glover and, I should add, the
window cleaner, for the outer walls and
the partitions between the rooms of a
japanese house are made of panels which
slide over one another, and are filled

THE FIRST MUFFs.

Muffs were at first made small and
perfectly round. Then it became the
rage to attach bunch of ribbons to the
middle. The wives of the burgesses
wore them at the beginning of the Ne
gency of Anne of Austria made of some
woven material bordered with fur, but
soon changed the fashion. In a portrait
of the period the Queen of Denmark is
represented wearing yellow muff plen-
tifully adorned with ribbons attached to
her person by a jeweled band. Nine.
de Mantenon is represented wearing a
muff on her wrist and holding prayer
book in her hand.-San Francisco

EGGS FOR INvALIDs.

In preparing this nourishing food for
the sick, writes Annie Townshend, of
Ohio, we should be careful in selecting
our style of cooking that 1t be one both
inviting and best for weakened palate.
It is certain that eggs are often cooked
so that they are uninviting and indigesti-
bic. There is always, however, a "best
way" to do everything, for both the sick
and the healthy. If you who read this
article have never tried preparing them
in the following way am sure you would
be surprised at the result. They are
changed both chemically and in appear
ance, and are SO much more delicate
than eggs cooked in the ordinary man.
ner that they tempt the invalid who has
but little appetite to taste them, at least,
and, when once tasted, are apt to be
eaten, and are frequently called for after
ward, for they are not tough even though
we'll done. Eggs that are cooked but
little may be, considered easy of diges.
ton; they are certainly not inviting to
invallds, who need tempting looking
food-food that makes them desire to
taste it.
In the evening break the eggs into a
pan filed with water, being careful to
use a pan that is new, or nearly so, as
iron would ruin the eggs. Allow them
to remain in the water over night. When
breaking use great care to keep them
whole. In the morning place the pan
undisturbed upon the stove and let it re-
main until the eggs are cooked. Then
serve as you would other poached eggs.
The season tor nice, fresh eggs is at
hand, and I am sure if this way is once
tried it will become general favorite.-

TIE RIBBoN HARNESS,

Truly, if the ribbon merchants do not
all make fortunes this year it will not be
the fault of the fashionable woman. Still
another style of ribbon ornament for
dresses has been invented. It comes
from Paris and has no name, although
were it called ''ribbon harness" the
words would not be inappropriately ap-
piled. It is made of black velvet rib.
bon about two inches wide, placed over
a delicate shade of pink satin ribbon Of
the same width, but in such a manner as
to allow only about half inch Of the
pink to show. On the shoulders are large
bows of the satin ribbon, and where the
harness crosses in front It is held in place
by handsome paste buckle. The whole
thing ends in the back at the waist line,
but the usual streamers are not wanting,
as they come from the shoulders and are
fastened together about midway down
the back by large rosette of the pink
ribbon. The effect of all this ribbon is
very pleasing, although at first rather
startling. Were it not that nice ribbon
is always available,i it would seem little
extravagant to put SO much money into
a passing fancy of which one is sure to
tire after having worn it three OF four
times.-st. Louis Republic.
