Here is a simple method OF making

composed OF yellow or white ordinary
tissue paper. when finished. looks ex-
actly like a chrysanthemum. You will
require some tale Ghades-one for each
candle: these are generally sold as pro-
tectors to keep paper shades from
catching fire. but in this case we must
use them as the foundation OF the
shade itself Cut a sheet OF tissue pa
per into long strips the length of the
paper and about an inch and half
wide; then begin to snip these at right
angles, leaving, of course. a narrow
margin. Each piece must be single
not double. as in ham frills.
