shows through the lace insets.
The top of the shade and the bottom
rim sometimes have nat application
of cluny banding with slightly irreg-
ular edge. This should be put on fat
with only narrow margin extending
below the edge of the frame at the
bottom and above the top rim. An
other way to decorate these frames is
to use cluny insertion an inch or more
in width and gather this strip through
the center When this is sewed on so
that the gathers are even with the
frame edge it leaves a tiny frill above
and below. If o wide frill were used
on shade Of this type the whole
effect would be ruined The idea Is
TO reproduce the quaint little French
shades Of empire style, using dainty
wash materials instead Of brocsdes
and pompsdour Powered silks and gilt
lace trimmings.

LINN the materials USED.
All sorts Of thin materials have been
used in the construction of lamp and
candle shades, but only recently has
sheer lawn and fine handkerchief linen
been chosen for delicate light screens.
The lingerie shade belongs TO the bed
room and boudoir essentially, though
In a very daintlly furnished reception
room or French drawing room 1t would
not be out Of place.
These novel shades are OF the en-
plre style In form. They are round
and rather high, medium sized shade
measuring at least eight inches from
top to bottom. There is very gradual
slant to the outside Of the frame, re-
ducing the circumference of the top
ever so little. enough to eliminate any
stiffness of line.
The wire frame is first covered with
silk OF the shade chosen for the lining.
A pale blue, pink, yellow or mauve
looks well. Then the same thin silk
is gathered on to the sides of the
frame for foundation. and the edges
are neatly finished at the top and bot
tom of the frame. After this is done
the outside may be arranged ON the
frame If it has already been planned
and finished.
OF course there must be some fine
needlework on this outer section, else
the shade would not merit the name

signs are of dainty embroidery, while
others show insets Of medallions and
