fro IN the New York shop OF firm Of womSn
whose guoooss IN every branch Of house
hold decoration that they have undertaken
has been phenomenal.
Unlike many who have sought and found
fortune In the metropolis, they come, not
out OF the West, but out OF the East, and In
stead Of starting their business In Boston
town, as would have been most natural
under the oircumstan oes, they chose rather
TO show the women OF New York thing or
two about the small furnishings Of the
house. OF the many things In this line
that are important, lamp shades are anon g
those that come first.
A lamp shade is an article Of furniture
that fairly bristles with difficulties for the
average woman, for II Is surprising how
much 1t counts In the general efiect Of
room. There are 20 many sorts Of lamp
shades, they are 80 varied in shape, sizes
and Oolorings and they have such posi-
bihties for veal or wo, that much thought
and time must be expended in choosing
them.

Is the question OF color. That takes pre-
oedenoe even Of shape or style, which comes

bition referred TO. It was made Of Jap

warm yello wish tan. Around both top
and bottom was q band Of straw of the same
color, put on as a rIffle, and inside was
dainty ballet-skirtlike frill Of swiss muslin,
a thought lighter In color than the rest Of
the shade.
The coration. which was hand painted
in water colors, and which was most ex-
