But new and then note escapes
around the edges and sets the audi

srENciLEp LAMP SHADES.


Since stencil work has gained 80
much popularity. we see the designs
upon practically everything which will
admit of decorative schemes. There
are articles of all descriptions for this
line Of work, but nothing more attrac-
tive than lamp shades. To make these
lamp shades, one should purchase
clear silk, preferably a glazy white,
which should be stretched and pinned
over blotting paper. 1t is advisable
, for one to make a paper pattern which
can be laid upon the silk and outlined
the pieces afterwards being cut out
and joined with a glue for cementing
silks. Any art store can furnish a
stencil pattern in a good design for
decorating lamp shades, but should
one be unable to get stencil pattern,
then the pattern must be made from
cardboard, treated with melted para
fine TO prevent the dye from destroy

ter colors are used, or one can use

pressed firmly against the material,
do not have the brush too wet with
dye and work carefully The work,
being so easily fashioned, is often care
lessly hurried and the colors creep be-
yond the design outline, running the
pattern. After a few attempts and
failures, one will soon learn to use
less dye and work slowly. Blotting
paper must be placed under the silk
to absorb all moisture. IT, after the
pattern is outlined, one cares to fill i'm

a different color. This is done by din
ping the brush into dye, patting out
all moisture and lightly tapping 1t on
the material to make diminutive dots
over all the plain parts. The stippling
should be evenly done, or II will give
an ugly effect. Dark ruby red makes
a beautiful stipple background effect.
Let the material dry, remove and
press lightly on the wrong side with
warm iron, cut the pattern from the
silk and carefully glue to your frame.
One can make a frame with glazed
cardboard standards. This part of the
work is more tedious
Many very graceful shades are made
in which stencil work plays no part.
But this calls for artistic fingers ana
considerable patience. The narrow
wooden strips that outline the four
slanting sides are made of Eastwood,
treated with the typography needle,
and carefully glued together It is
necessary to have two strips for each
standard, since the material must ne
placed between the wooden pieces to
hide raw edges. The bass wood is
made deep brown, while the silk em-
ployed in the cover is a pale yellow,
with n Florentine ecrue lace medal

tion. The material is not cut from
beneath. This makes a very rich look

with a circular piece cut from the CEN
ter and wired TO fit in place.

TIGER WHIPS A LION.

While an audience Of 1900 people
was In the hall of Coney Island ami
NAL show a lion and tiger started
fighting, and before they could be sep
arated the hind quarters of the lion
had been so mangled by his striped
antagonist that he had to be shot. The
act which was being shown required
seven lions and two tigers, and was
considered a very daring feat on ac-
count Of the enmity of the great
jungle beasts. At every performance
they snapped and snarled at each 9TH
er, but had always been held in check
by the trainer; on this occasion, how
ever, he turned his head for an in
stant, and In that lnconceivable time
the lion saw his chance and sprang
upon the tiger, after which, in spite
OF efforts to part them, they fought
until both were helpless.

How much do men know about wom-
ems dress, and how much do they
care about It? is an interesting ques-
tion raised by a curious advertisement
printed In London. The person who
placed the advertisement announces
himself as "a man OF good position,
with very critical, refined and exclus-
i've knowledge" and much experience
of the best firms which cater to wom-
ems wants. He Is willing to be con-
suited on matters of dress and millin-
cry" The heads of a number of we'll
known dreSsmaking establishments,
when asked for an opinion, all agreed
that the knowledge of men about wom-
ems dress Is small, and their advice
In regard to 1t of little account. They
admitted that the heads of some of
the most noted dressmaking establish
ments had been men, but they were of
the opinion that the men succeeded
only by virtue Of being good business
managers, and that the details were
worked out by women in their employ.
1T is only the result that men no
tice," was the general agreement.
Very likely there Is truth in this view,
but there is also truth in the opposite
side of the proposition, says the
Youths Companion. Many women are
so intent upon the details that they
lose sight Of the result. They cannot
see the forest because of the trees;
and 1t Is here that the advice and
Judgment of a man Of taste may be of
service-especially the advice Of the
husband. He Is a man of taste, else
he would not have selected so charm
Ing woman for wife. In a general
way, the preference Of men is for sim
plicity in women's dress. 1t makes
for good sense in material and for d.
rectness in accomplishing a desired
end. Men are uncritical and undis-
eliminating in the matter of fabrics,
but as the London dressmakers tacitly
admitted, display frequently sound
judgment in regard to the general ef-
feet. Above all, they are far more in
clined than women to consider the in
dividual case rather than the general
style; ard that is not an unrlixed evil.

UNIQUE FLYING MACHINE.
Inventor Would Use Team of wild
Eagles to Run Airship.

In these days of successful flying
machines it is interesting to note some
of the curious methods of aerial navi-
cation heretofore proposed. In United
States patent granted May II, 1887, to
G. R. E. Wulff, and now expired, was
shown a new use for the American
eagle. Instead of being allowed to
pose IN lofty independence as our pa
triotic emblem, this utilitarian in.
ventor has put him to work. A team
of live eagles, each hitched up in spe-
cial harness, was connected to a bal
loon as shown in the illustration, and
formed means of controlling and d.
recting the fight of the balloon. This
motive power was capable Of indefinite

had to do was to. keep his team Of

wanted to go, which was done by d

eagles were secured by their harness.
