An Artistic Screen

A perfect summer screen is a thing not
often seen, but there stands one which
perfectly deserves its name in the dining
room Of one New York woman's summer
home, says the Recorder. Its owner is
something of an artist in an amateur way,
SO she has an excellent eye for color as
well as ability of no mean order.
The screen is of her own making. The
frame is bamboo, but is painted with
white enamel paint. touched here and

of the silk and to the arrangement that
the peculiar success is due.

latter do not extend into the hair itself%

which secrete an oily substance that gives
