NEW PARLOR LAMPS.
How Shades Like Debutante's Skirts
Every Grade Of Material Used.

Livery HIdO0 OF maLST1al used.
They are not technically called lingerie
lampshades, but that is the only name
that gives a correct idea of them. The
first sight of handsome silk or satin
shade with its expanding sides apparently
held out by mnumerable soft chiffon ruff
fies or fluffy balayeurs, suggests nothing so
much as the lingerie skirts of pretty
young woman; and lampshades without
these ruffiings have an unpleasantly I'M
clothed look by comparison.
1t is something of recent fad, this deco
rating the inside of lampshades and it is
an attractive one. 1t is done chiefly with
the larger shades, as the edge is farther
from the chimney and the added frills can
be put on without danger.
There is a surprising relation In the world
of fashion between things in different class
es. Articles for house furnishing and
gowns seem to run along similar lines from
year to year. Women's gowns now are
frequently plated, and so are lamp shades.
They may be side plated, opening widest
at the lower edges and closing at the TON
plated, but never with the stitched plaits.
however, like the gowns, the plaits being
pulled out until not much more than the
creases and the outlines remain
1t is frequently to these plated shades
with their extra flare, that the fluffy ruff
f1es are added. One handsome box-plaited
shade of red satin, with flowers of a more
delicate hue, has the rufies inside the edge
of pale pink chiffon. The ruff1es may con
trast with the color Of the shade, repeat
some tone in 1t or match It,
ChiHon Is more or less costly, and also
fragile, but the lingerie lamp shades are
not confined to the finest materials They
are made of cretonnes. and the ruffies on
the inside may be of any Inexpensive ma
terial. Tarlatan answers the purpose ex-
ce.ently. Paper is also good for decorat-
Ing the inside as well as the outside. and
paper shades have ruffies or paper fiufting
out around the edge.
Small shades are not neglected in the
application of ruff1es but they REQUIRE them
less than the larger ones
