new brocades touched in with gold

this use.
One of the whims of the year is to

Tissue Lamp Shades.

There is something entirely new for

and delights in lamp and candle
shades. They are made of tissue and
crepe paper, and no one need scoff, for
they are not the old time flower effects
which are pretty. to be sure. but not
as generally useful as might be. These
newer shades are made on the lines
of the silk and satin shades, have
equally as good color effects. and do
not entail the expense of those made
