THE NEW LAMP SHADES.
Empire and Early Victorian Are the
Leading Forms.

There are styles in everything, from
shoes to diamond necklaces, and in
household matters as we'll. The day
of the ballet-girl lamp shade, with it's
voluminous skirts, is past; it was
pretty, but frail and inf1ammable. Now
the Empire and early Victorian de-
signs rule-one with it's wreaths and
painted faces; the other has pictures
from old-time fashion books and sport
ing prints inlaid upon the vellum sur
face. Even the ctagon-shaped cameo
or Parian porcelain shade, which some
of us have seen packed away in the
garnet years ago, is coming in. The
fad of the hour, however, is the golf
bonnet lamp shade. 1t is shirred on
wires, made from Powered silk, lace at
the edge and at the top, brass ring to
protect the chimney. But instead of
a laughing face a bright flame shines
under the bonnet. 1t will revive talk
of sunny days on the golf links when
heartsaWere balls and Cupid caddie.

that, but to have the linens present
