To Make lamp Shades.

Any deft-hngered woman can make
her own lamp-shades. She will save
money thereby and her house will
gain greatly in effective treatment of
the lighting fixtures. Wire frames for
lamp-shades can be bought in several
sizes and shapes at many department
tai stores, but If not procurable, one
can usually get an address of some
wfre-worker from a florist and the
frames can then be made to order.
They are usually made with a four
inch ring and standard that fits in
the ring of the lamp, whether it is for
electricity or oil. In the case of a
hanging lamp there Is a copper bar
across the top with hole cut to al
low the electric wires to go through.
In ordering a lamp-shade frame, al
ways carefully state the dimensions.
Wipe the frame and then wind the
wire, with the exception of the STAN
dard wires, with white silk binding
ribbon. The ribbon must be firmly
sewed at both the beginning and end
of each piece, SO it will not slip.
Every Iamp-shade should be lined
with white India silk as the white re-
fleets the light.
After the frame is wound the white
lining must be put on. Cut a rough
pattern by pinning a newspaper to
the frame and then cutting it out, or
pin the silk to the frame, a pin at the
top and bottom of each wire support,
and sew the silk on before cutting.
This last method saves much mater
iaI. The silk must be drawn tight,
and smooth and sewed down to the
support where the seam has to be.
Turn the edge back and sew in place.
and sew raw edges. The extra silk at
top and bottom must be turned back
and sewed and then trimmed close.
After lining, the shade is ready for
the outside covering. Place seams
over wires, so they will not show. If
fringe is used, sew on before the
gimp. Gimp that Is used for the
panels IS put on before the gimp at
top and bottom. The extra cover
ing material at top and bottom Of
the shade must be sewed back before
it is covered with gimp.
Cretonne shades are particularly
well adapted for summer homes. In
choosing the material for one be
sure that the pattern is a good size
for the shape chosen and that 1t will
place well on the frame.

in which 2,400 teachers instruct a.
900 pupils. The synod also has a

which nets annually at least 500, 900.
And her missionaries are sent out in
20 all parts OF the world to preach
the Gospel in 20 or 80 different Ian

Prof. Walther, the most conspicu-
GUS figure in the history of American

1911, in Saxony, Germany. In the
gymnasium of Schneeberg he received
a thorough classical education and
then pursued the studies of theology
Of Leipzig. After graduating from
that institution with high honors he
ministered for brief period to state
church in his native land. However,
his strict adherence to Gods word
and Luther's doctrine pure" and his
outspoken frankness soon brought him
in conflict with the powers that were
and he resolved to seek in free Amer
lea that full liberty of conscience
which was denied him in the land of
his birth. He landed on our shores
in the year 1888, in company with
several brother ministers and a small
band of emigrants who, like the Pill
grim Fathers, sought haven of ref
uge and liberty on Americas free
soil
After a short stay in Perry county,
Mo-, where the first college, small
log cabin, was erected, he removed to
St. Louis, where he passed his long
and useful life. AS first pastor of
