MADE UP OF ODDS AND ENDS
Very Pretty Arc tho Candle Shades
Of Lace Designed In All Shapes
and Colors.

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 f1lmy
lace combined with the flowers, and
some have bands and frills of lace
headed with narrow metal gimp.
A candle shade that looks well with
all color schemes is made of crystal
beads, strung into fanciful designs and
finished with bead fringe. The f:svoritc
is pagoda shape, another is bell shape,
and some are square. These beads
are usually made up over white lining.
but are effective oyer a warm yellow,
green or American Beauty tone.

lace can put them to no better use
than to make set Of four candle

vigor of body and poisc of mind that
amazed me. 1t was entirely new In

MY former attacks Of indigestion
had been accompanied by heat flashes,
and many times my condition was dis
tressing with blind spells OF dizziness,
rush OF blood to the head and neural
gic pains in the chest.

FURNISHING OF cHINTz ROOM
Thought Bestowed on Decoration viii
Be Well Repaid In Cheerful,
AomeIlke Apartment.

There is pleasing homeliness
about a chintz room which gives 1t q
subtle attraction. Most women at this
time of year are attacked with q
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 70 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 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
we'll with such designs. An excellent
result is obtained II panels Of the
printed linen or chintz are placed on
the wall instead of paper. and old
prints show up we'll with such q back
ground.
Old needlework is now reproduced
in glazed chintz. and fine Italian pat
terms glowing with subdued blues,
reds and browns, with that cloude1
mauve 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.
