MADE UP OF ODDS AND ENDS
Very Pretty Are the Candle Shades
of Lace Designed in All Shapes
and CoIors.

Very fetching are the new candle
shades whose foundation is a finely
plated fiber, and that can be had In
all colors. The straight narrow En-
pire shade is the favorite, though some
of the designs spread sharply at the
bottom
The decoration is varied, some have
festoons of tiny ribbon flowers in soft
tones, others have inserts of flmy
lace combined with the flowers. and
some have bands and friIIs of lace
headed with narrow metal gimp.
A candle shade that looks well with
all color schemes is made of crystal
beads, strung into fancfful designs and
finished with bead fringe. The fayorite
is pagoda shape, another is bell shape
and some are square. These beads
are usually made up over white lining.
but are effective over a warm yellow.
green or American Beauty tone.
The girl who has odds and ends of
lace can put them to no better use
than to make a set of four candle
shades. Finish the top with a tiny
lace gimp. which may likewise con
eeal the-seam if the lace must be
pieced-

FURNISHING OF CHlNTz ROOM
Thought Bestowed on Decoration Will
Be Well Repaid in Cheerful,
HomeIike Apartment.

There is a pleasing LONELINESS
about a chintz room which gives it a
subtle attraction. Most women at this
time of year are attacked with
laudable desire to redress their rooms
so that the time Of summer and the
singing birds is suggested and win
ter's sunless cold forgotten.
The most obvious way to achieve
the redressing is to choose a suitable
chintz and to order loose covers for
all the chairs and sofas, ottomans and
cushions in the room. The favorite
colorings this season give a range of
tulip shades, purple, rose red, a deep
buff or scarlet. These have some
times a black ground, as in the days
of Louis Philippe. Huge soft cush-
ions, square or round in shape, are of
down, covered with silk, and have no
pendant flouncing
A successful room can be obtained
with one of the cretonnes or chintzes
in oriental patterns. and the furniture
or bibelots in the Chinese taste. which
Is now so much to the fore, accord
well with such designs. An excellent
result is obtained if panels Of the
printed linen or chintz are placed on
the wall instead of paper. and old
prints show up well with such a back
ground
Old needlework is now REPRODUCED
in glazed chintz, and fine Italian pat
terms glowing with subdued blues,
reds and browns, with that clouded
nauve only seen in Italian silks. and
a bed of anemones gives a touch of
distinction to any room.
A single mauve cushion and one of
black in soft silk are generally intro
duced as a daring note Pomegran-
ates, picotees and peonies figure and
the twisted stems form arabesques.

That One lining Lackina.

Lady Augusta Gregory, the able and
ardent apostle Of the modern Irish
movement, is fond Of telling the fol-
lowing real Irish story:
1T was the wedding day of Pat and
Bridget, and they were having a

leather shoes, white vest and flaming
tie Bridget shone attractively in
many colors. The ceremony was over,
and the happy pair walked down the

Famous Stockbridge indians Are to Go West

n ECIDING to abandon their tribal
- form of government and adopt the
white mans way Of doing things, the
remnant of the Stockbridge tribe of
Indians, numbering 600 men. women
and children, will shortly become
citizens of Wisconsin and cease to be
under the supervision and guardian
ship of the federal government.
The Stockbridge Indians will have
a whole township to themselves, east
of Lake Winnebago. and other land
that the government intends giving
them. Already they are planning the
organization of a town government,
and they have written to various fed
eral and state officials about the state
for information respecting civil gov
eminent, parliamentary practice and
whatever else may be useful to them
in solving the problems before them
Originally the Stockbridge Indians
were a part of the Mohican confeder-
acy and were known under the name
of Housatonic When the pilgrim
fathers landed at Plymouth Rock, the
Stockbridges occupied part. of the
Housatonfc valley at Berkshire Hills,
Mass. Soon after the famous mis-
stonary, Sergeant, went to work among
them they were collected on a tract
reserved by the English government.
The French and Indian war, which
broke out in 1854, marked the begin
ming of the decline of the Stock
bridges. They sided with the French
and thus aroused the ire of many 9th
er Indian tribes. At the close of the
war thew were forced IN movo ror+11,
because the war had reduced their
numbers and partly because the New
Englanders desired they should leave
that community.
Their number reduced to a beggarly

New Idea for Dressmakers.

A New York woman has inaugural
ed new departure. She sent word
to number of dressmakers that she
had so many dresses to make, of such

terations to be made and asked for
bids. She will probably accept the
lowest bid, and this seems 10 open up

makers-the ability to figure on bids.
