"A novelty in lamp shades is a long
fringe (many strands) of small, thin,
pearly sea shells strung and mounted
on o band, which is fitted over the
globe and which can be used on the
chandelier as well as on lamps. A
more elaborate shade is made Of var
ious sized abalone seashells polished
until all the mother of pearl or opales-
cent tints are finely brought out These
shells are OF irregular shape almost
transparent and fiat, and are mounted
on bronze, the rich toned metal being
wrought into dainty garlands of flow
ers about half inch wide, encircling
and holding the shells in place to model
the dome shaped globe. When lighted
the illumination is lovely.
There is a pronounced fancy at pres
ent for the many colored "jewelled
hanging lamps Of Oriental design
They are effective for vestibules, mar
row halls, cosey corners, boudoirs
