GAME OF BADMINTON.
Shuttlecocks Used Instead Of Balls, but
Rules Of Tennis Are Followed.

This play is n mixture of tennis and
battledore and may be played in Il
court or hall. out Of doors or In or on
tennis court. 1t is played with n
tennis net or one even smaller than
that which does not quite reach the
ground. Shuttlecocks are used instead
of balls.
The rules OF tennis are followed,
with slight changes owing to the char
acter OF the shuttlecock. which does
not bounce like the tennis ball. All
the hits must be made on the fly. The
player must not touch the net either
with racket or clothing. nor must he
touch the shuttlecock with his hands
after the first service. The points are
counted just as in tennis.

MADE UP OF ODDS AND ENDS
Very Pretty Are the 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 flny
lace combined with the flowers, and
some have bands and frills of lace
headed with narrow metal gimp.
A candle shade that looks we'll with
all color schemes is made of crystal
beads, strung into fanciful designs and
finished with bead fringe. The favorite
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 set of four candle
shades. Finish the top with a tiny
lace gimp, which may likewise con.
ceal the seam If the lace must be
pieced.

ter's sunless cold forgotten.
The most obvious way to achieve
the redressing is to choose a suitable
chintz and to order loose covers fol-
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, 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 f10uncing.
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 if panels Of the
printed linen or chintz are placed on
the wall instead of paper, and old
prints show up we'll with such back.

Old needlework is now reproduced
