Unique Room Decoration.

A curious room, well worth describ-
ing, was recently undertaken by an up
town resident of New York. The idea
applied simply to the walls, which were
covered in dark, deadish green ingram
paper, and at various points around
these walls were simple shelves, upon
which were deep green jardinieres con-
tanning artificial flowers arranged after
the style of the japanese, appearing to
be in natural growth, each pot contain
ing but one kind of flower. Vines were
arranged upon the walls, and presented
thus were the only designs or colorings
anywhere upon the four sides of the
room. Artificial flowers are plentiful,
and at certain periods are cheap
enough.

bottom, made of crinkled paper, silk,
flowers, fringe, etc., are quite expensive,
so that they are only suitable for piano
or banquet lamps among people who are
able to stand the expense. The new
stub" shades may be made of white or
tinted heavy, plain paper or light card
board, cut to shape, and the two ends
fastened together with small wire
clamp such as is used in offices to hold
manuscript together. So they are ex-
tremely inexpensive. They have to be
used on wire frames on the lamps, like
other shades, of course, but those of the
right shape and size can now be had as
cheap as any. Indeed, very little in
genuity will enable anyone to make the
wire frame herself. These little lamp
shades may be made as pretty as de-
sired by little painting in water col
ors, pin-tracing or India ink outline
sketching. The end fastenings may be
concealed by rosettes or butterfly bows
of ribbon. The materials used are so
inexpensive that even if they do scorch
at the upper edge soon, they can readily
be replaced by new ones. I have tried
them and like them very much. They

TRUE SYMPATHY.
1t Means Entering INTO Others Joys as
Wen as Others Sorrows.

1t Means Entering Unto Others Joys rs
Well as Others Sorrows.
The common idea of sympathy is that
it consists of entering into fellowship
with the sorrows of others, but the
Apostle was given an excellent defini-
ton of sympathy in exhorting us to re-
joice with those that rejoice as well as
to weep with those that weep; and our
Lord was as truly illustrating the
breadth of His sympathy when He at.
tended the wedding and wrought there
His first miracle as when He shared the
grief of the sisters at Bethany and raised
Lazarus from the dead. We wilfully de-
tract from the happiness of others when
we fail to recognize this truth and act
upon it. Those who are happy need
sympathy as well as those who are sad.
When, says the Boston Waterman.
IN the parable the woman who
had found the coin called her friends
and neighbors together, saying: "Re-
joice with me-" she was acting upon n
genuine human impulse. To be ready
to offer your sympathy to those who are
in sorrow, but to stand OFF from those
who have experienced some great joy,
as if now they had enough without any
help from you, is to misconceive the
Christian life and to display a refined
selfishness. A note Of congratulation 70
friend who has achieved some success,
the manifestation of real pleasure in an
others happiness, may be as thorough
~ Christian act as a note Of coincidence
or the expression of grief at another's
misfortune.
Sympathy, says writer in recent
issue of the Sunday School Times, is a
great deal more than pity. Sympathy
is accord, correspondence and har-
mony of feeling. In it's etymology,
sympathy" is suffering with another.
feeling the pains of another as If they
were our own; but in its truer meaning
sympathy includes the sharing of am
others joys as well as sorrows, the en-
tering into the experiences and emo
tions of another's soul. Sympathy is
very precious, very delightful-more de.
lightful and precious than it is common.

"Throw it out" said one. "Give 1t

kind of giving to bestow that which
is worthless to yourself, the last adj
vice was not followed. But the rose
shade was so handsome, and the culored

and the result is a restoration to beauty
and usefulness of lamp that was an
eyesore for it's verdigris-covered brass

In most stoves a very fine powder
accumulates that is not ashes, yet has
the essence of the wood in It. Part

With tooth brush all the brass was

much encouragement, but now the dry

brilliancy of newness.

Billows of tulle crown the majority of

other very often, to produce the shot
effect so much desired, or maybe to en-
eble greater display of color-green
tulle under rose color or blue, yellow
under green, black over white or vice

lated by the milliner. These tulle plait-

colors and combinations, plain, ribbon
edged, fluted, lowered and silk-em-
