SHADES FOR PARLoR LAMPS.

When refurnishing the house one
cannot have too many dainty fol-de-
rolls about. AS the lamp is such an
important factor in the pretty home,
the girl, who has nothing in particu-
lar to do, is making shades for them,
and they are exceedingly attractive
and well worth the trouble and time
one takes for making them. The
heavy silk and glass covered shades
are carefully stored away, and in their
places we see the delicate thing Of
light silk, or paper, which looks as if
woven by spiders or those covered
with cretonne.
s Cretonne stands practically unrivaled
this year for the dress Of country cot
tage and city home. One shade made
of this material is cupola shape, and
