Novelties for Lamps and Candles for
TnbIe aud Dancing EnNors.

This seasons fancies in paper are un-
usually unique and novel, and the heavy
parchment paper, as we'll as silks and satins,
have come into vogue to take the place to
a great extent, OF the more perishabe crepe
paper.

the latest wrinkle, though the empire is
still favorite, its chaste elegance and sim
plicity being better liked by some than the
gay, ly-away fashions of the previous periods

is of parchment paper, band-box in shape
into which are let old colored prints Of
DANES OF the empire period, in a hand
painted setting OF gold and rose color. A
Louis XIV shade of white silk is patterned
after Chinese pagoda in form, and is em-
bellished with garlands of pink roses. hand
painted, deep ruthe of silks being edged
with smaller wreaths of the dainty blossoms.
Another taking novelty is lamp shade

crepe paper, is big and fluffy, fecked all
over with dimnutive rosebuds to match
the broad ribbon bow and ends that en-
circle the top and droop down. The edge

A beauty in crinkled white silk is for all
the world like huge, many-petaled rose. the
bits OF silk piled one over the other, being
cut to represent soft petals.
Artistic candle shades come in designs to
match all the foregoing lamp shades, while
fetching little screens of paper silk or bolt
ing cloth follow out the same ideas, and are
fastened to one side Of the candle with a
metal attachment.
A tall colonial brass candlebrum is pic

The hand-painted paper or linen frames are
shown in new designs for the fall trade, and
are more attractive than ever. One to hold

The new table favors are the most artistic
yet shown, the three favorite styles being the
Louis XVI the empire and the rococo
