Royal Economy.

At no European court is economy more
strictly practced than at that of Berlin. In
deed, the kaiser prevents any unnecessary
expenditure in a manner which is probably
unique.
Many an ordinary gentleman at a first
class London hotel lives more expenslvy
than the Emperor William H. His majesty
requires the palace controller to provide
daily a certain number of dishes for a slip
ulated sum of money. this sum being what
the emperor considers to be all that need
be spent for himself and his family on the
necessary but very careful pleasure of the
table-Home Notes.

More Fresh Air.

ut is safe to say declared a physician,
that one-half of the women are simply
starving for fresh air. and If they would
throw away their pill bottles and headache
powders and exercise freely in the open air
for at least two hours daily they would feel
like new women at the end of the year. Ma
ture cannot be cheated. nor can impaired
forces be restored by swallowing medicine

take the offender" says Home Chat. "A
busy woman may be compelled to neglect
some duty or pleasure for time in order
to obtain the outdoor exercise, but under
the circumstances 1t will be excusable, and
in the long run she will make up for 1t be-
cause of increased bodily vigor."

Shawl-Like Shades New.

The smartest shades imported from
France are shawl-like in effect, and instead
of the material being fitted to every rod
in the frame a circular piece of the ma
terial with the center cut out for the
chimney, is made to fit the dome-shaped
wires. 1t then falls in graceful folds, the
weight of the fringe holding it down in
place.
The shawl effects in soft pinks, light
blues, deep reds or vivid orange shades OF
silk are stunning for use on dining room
table or in paror or hall. The drapery,
to give variety, may be cut square or with
deep points, four or five. according to the
size Of the frames, or in narrow scallops
that give breadth to the shade. A gimp
is being much used this year; a narrow
piece of it in gilt or silver at the bottom
makes a pretty finish to cover the heading
of the fringe. For these shades narrow
bead fringe can be bought by the yard in
stead of on hoops.
While the trimming on the bottom is quite
often elaborate on some of the smartest
shades, being fashioned into the appear
ance of a crown, either deliberately shirred
or shocked.
ton a broad piece of gimp or ribbon is
used to cover the stitches and to lend a
finished appearance to the shade.
Some Are Hand Decorated.
Some of these shades are decorated
with hand-painted designs copied after
Louis XIV, XIV and XVI designs. while
others are ornamented with handmade
ribbon flowers, such as roses, forget-me-
nots, poinsettas in festoons, or even mini
allure sunfiowers, similarly applied. that
are decidedly effective. The top of such a
shade is naturally simple to give all prom
inence TO the lower portion. SO only
huted Or accordion pleated ruffle is used.
The fringe when put on in scaliops is either
long or very short. according to the size
of the candlestick.
To make a candle shade first bind the
wire frame top and bottom with a narrow
strip of soft cotton cloth to give something
to sew to. Then, for the lining, take strip
the depth of the frame, pin it to the bot
TOM then gore it at the ribs by pinning

cores, trim and press the seams open.
Then sew into place the frame, turning
the seams toward the outside of the frame
so that whens covered they will not show.

Among the transparent materials the re-
turn to silk net is worth commenting upon.
This combined with silk lace of the same
shade is indeed charming. There Is, though.

ED IN MAKING.
An Important Addition to the Decora-
ton Of the Thanksgiving
Table.

Making artistic and even original candle
shades is no longer a difficult task for
women inexperienced in needle work, for
frames in many pretty shapes may be
bought and bead fringe purchased ready for
use, SO that the shaping of materials and
making Is really quite simple. Then, too,
If housekeeper makes them at home she
can frequently change the material, SUBJ
shutting cretonne for silk at a trifling ex-

rations from becoming monotonous. For in
stance, on a gala occasion such as Hal
loween or Thanksgiving, the candle shades
may be made of some appropriate design
in silk or paper that conforms with the
festive day and fits in tremendously with
the surroundings.
The frames may be purchased for from
Is cents up. according to size, while the
beading attached to a hoop that is ready
to be sewed in place costs from 40 cents up,
the price depending entirely upon the length
of the strands, and also upon the dimen-
sions of the hoop from which they hang
