foundation Of white net, and every.
thing depends on the careful selection
Of these beads, for 1t Is not every kind
through which the light will shine
with jewel effect. When choosing the
beads, they should be held before the
fame of a lamp to judge whether they
will retain their brightness or not
Two or more distinct colors may be
used. but the merging Of one into an
other should be avoided. The beads
used for the shade Illustrated were of
a rich ruby tint. The design Of French
bows was carried out entirely In these,

spersed with semiopaque ruby drops
and seQuins. The materials required
are a piece Of very stiff white buck
ram, another OF white brussels net OF
medium texture. some thin white china
or pongee silk and a bebe ruching OF
white or colored ribbon.
Having decided on the size Of your
shade, cut 1t out In the buckram In
the circular form shown In the second
6gure. Trace the design upon it clear
ly in pencil and with a sharp penknife
cut away the buckram from the inside
with net. lacking down the latter with
small stitches at the top and bottom
and all round the edges Of the design.
Take care that the stitches are set close
to the edge. or they will show when
the shade is completed. After this
cover the outside with the silk. lacking
It down everywhere with large. firm
stitches.
Hold the shade up to the light and
cut away the silk from the open de-
sign so that the net forms a trans.
parency. leaving sufficient silk for
turntngs. Turn it down with the point
Of the needle and hem it finely to the
net all round the bows but do not sew
1t to the huckram, as this will not
hold the stitches at the edge. Take
out the tackings from the silk. which
must have been left with wide mar

and bottom Of the shade.

Having finished the beading, sew the
bebe ruching closely all round the de-
