Cretonne Shades

- RETONNE IL SO much used for
every purpose. from an evening
~ coat to a pair Of slippers, that It
seems as though 1t would surely come
back to popularity for lamp shades.
The latest lamp shades are made UNI
brella-shaped. and If the frame Is COW
cred with a square Of cretonne the Of
feet Is extremely good.
AS cretonne is a wide material. 1t 10
easy to get square to fit any sized
frame. which makes piecing unneces-
sary. A cover for q quite large shade
should measure not less than sixty
inches. It may be finished with gold
or glass-bead fringe. which is sewn on
each side of the square.
In measuring the frame to determine
the quantity of the cretonne required.
do not forget that the corners will hang
lower than the sides, and II the square IL
cut too sDlall the sides will fail to cover
the wire frame.
For this reason. on low lamps a cir
cular shade is preferable. It Is made in
just the same way and placed on the
same frame as the square shade. The
only difference Is that the cretonne 10
cut in a circle and 1t will not hang so
low.

LOOKING FOR A LOST HEIR
An Estate Of Rochester Man Goes to
the State of Minnesota.

Rochester, June ll.-After nine
years of vain search for relatives Nef
one Alfred Brown, who died in this
country, his estate has been decreed
to the state of Minnesota, and the de-
cree was entered Tuesday morning by
Judge of Probate Christensen.
Mr.. Brown had lived the life of a
recluse, and was regarded as an &C.
centric character, near st. Charles,
this country. At one time in his life
he was asked to make will, but he
replied that he had neither relative
nor friend to will his property to.
However, that statement was not ac-
cepted without investigation after death
and after search extending over a
period of nine years, it has been es-
tablished that Brown was man liter
ally without relative in the world.
At his death A. p. Stearns of st.
Charles was appointed administrator
and he kept up the search in this coun-
try and England for some one who
might legally claim the estate. The
man who came to America with Brown
was located in Kansas, and though
now advanced in years, he remembered
distinctly now they came to this coun-
try 40 years ago, and that Alfred
Brown alluded to the fact that he had
no kith nor kin. But he never made
many further disclosures and took no
one else into his confidence.
After all the debts have been paid
there is about $1,000 left in cash, and
this amount will be turned over to the
state, at once.
