No one who has seen play staged

edges; if you light this picture from
behind the draperies. so that to the
audience they tell rather as folds of
shadow, leaving between your actors

of darkness, as it were, an intangible
glass of illusion, you have achieved an

One by one the deer raised their
heads, shifted and stood erect, motion
less, ears, eyes and nose extended to
the utmost as a faint, very faint, odor
came floating on the quiet air.
Suddenly the stiffness was broken by
the wild shrieks of apes as they sprang
up through the branches, and at the

crashed as the does and fawns rushed

day came upon the jungle, the little

BAMBOO FOR SUMMER HOMES
Light and serVlceabIe Material Is Now Employed Whenever 1t
 Can Be Utilized.

Wood-brown bamboo, woven into all sorts of pretty and useful shapes for the adornment of summer house and veranda, occupies a conspicuous place in oriental stores these days.
 We are all more or less acquainted with the possibilities of the Japanese and Chinese tree, but certainly we never see it to better advantage than in the queer articles which decorate summer rooms so prettily.
 Flower vases are among the most popular of the bamboo developments They come in variety of shapes, the. most effective being the earthenware shapes we are accustomed to asso- ciate with Mexico or the Indians.
 Inside are sheet iron or metal re- ceptacles to hold the water. Most any flower would show to advantage against the dull brown of the bamboo.
 Oval and rectangular ferneries of bamboo are attractive.
 Flat tea trays of bamboo are light and effective. especially when the table Is laid on the veranda- Hang ing baskets in every conceivable shape swing from pliant bamboo cords.

The run on empire and hunt CTS green has been enormous. both in the parasols in solid color and in the combinations with black and black and white.
