THERE ARE OTHERS.

THERE ARE OTHERS
In the world where we live there are
many dark days,
And trouble and grief you may see;
But to sink in despair you will find
never pays,
Whatever your troubles may be.
There come tribulations that all must
endure,
Things happen which make us feel
blue;
Although it's no cure,
You may always be sure
That somebody's worse off than you.
You may want to go somewhere away
from mankind
Because of some grief of your own;
But wherever you go it is certain
you'll find
Small comfort in being alone.
Whatever your trouble, don't let it APP
pear, -
Meet your friends, and act cheerful
ly. too;
You'll have JOY, never fear,
In bringing good cheer
TO some one who is worse off thar
you.
Then hide your own sorrow, and wear
a brave face,
Bring sympathy to the unblest;
Offer some comfort, and with your best
grace
Give greeting to all the distressed.
Sad hearts will revive, with the greet
ings so heard,
Your own heart will feel lighter, too,
II your feelings are stirred
To say a kind word
To some one who is worse off than
you.

owen Wister, who wrote THE Virgil
man." has preferred to leave his old
field for an entirely new one. Instead
of following up his great success with
another story in the same field, he has
chosen for his scene a historic city, and
the life portrayed is that of the most
refined and cultivated society. Lady
Baltimore" his new novel, is announc-
ed by the Macmillan Company for is

Attractive lamp shades in new de-
signs are always desirable for all parts
of the house, and especially for the
drawing room and boudoir. Many of
them are easily made at home, and the
work is excessively attractive because
it may readily be completed and will
show results which are really impor-
n
of being like the fifth wheel to a coach,
as is the case with a lot of fancy work.
Among the newest lamp shades of
Partisan design which have lately been
imported are those made of fine white
net, which is shirred over a cOlored silk
shade. The effect is very soft and is
much prettier than when the color is
not covered with white.
These shades have first a paper
foundation of any desired shape, eX-
cepting that of the perfect globe, to
which, of course, the style would not
be well adapted. But the shape may be
round sloping out very much toward
the bottom, or of nearly the same cir
conference all the way down. This
latter shape appears to be the favorite.
There are also the four, five or eight
sided shades, which are very popular.
On top of this paper shade thin col
ored silk is shirred. The silk does not
have to be very full or of very good
quality. China silk which may be had
at forty cents yard, being quite good
enough. One or two ruffles of the silk,
not very deep, are sewed around the
bottom of the shade
over this again the thin, fine white
net is placed. 1t is shirred evenly
around the top and bottom, and finely
gathered ruffles or pleated ones are
placed over the silk ruffles at the bot
tom. There may be one or two of these
but they must not stand out They
should lie fiat over the silk ruffles and
should not be any deeper than those.
These shades are trimmed with mar
row gold galloon gold cord, gold lace
garands of chiffon or ribbon flowers
or small millinery artificial flowers
ribbon embroidery work, small French
medallions etc. The flowers used to
trim them are all i'm pale, delicate
shades, in accord with the subdued
color effects Of the shades themselves
The gilt trimming is narrow and should
be sufficiently furnished to resemble old
gilt, and is most inconspicuously put
on. In fact the entire effect of these
new shades is one Of extreme dainti-
