There was a constant crOwdlng Of the

Bead Lamp Shades.

Once upon a time to hear of bead
lamp shade would have aroused smile.
But we have changed all that nowadays.
We understand that from the most un-
promising materials may be evolved en-
chanting results. Bead shades are fad
of the hour, and very curiously are they
wrought, of the palest colors, in quaint,
overlapping palm leaf designs The en-
pire shade is another new design This
is made of soft tinted china silk, painted
with medalions of Napoleon's head, of
Josephine's, of Maria Louisa's and with
the Bonaparte crest, each one surrounded
by a laurel wreath. An odd shape is seen
in still another shade. 1t looks much like
an enormous poke bonnet, of shirred silk,
the scoop projecting to throw the light
where it is needed in one spot while the
correspondingly short opposite side leaves
a shadow. The light and shade may, OF
course, be varied, as is wished, by the
turning about of the metal frame under
meath. New York Post.
