SOMETHING OF A NOVELTY
inexpensive Lamp Shades May Be De-
signed From the Ordinary
Japanese Lanterns.

An inexpensive, novel and pretty
way of making lamp shades, especial
ly for the summer cottages, Is to uti-
lie Japanese lanterns. The kind used
are the rather large, oval-shaped ones
In either a solid color or half one and
half another. The upper part to the
desired depth is cut off, guided by the
small bamboo bands which stiffen and
fold it, and Is neatly trimmed off. At
the top, which Is finished by a black
wooden band, the wire hanger is re-
moved and in place of it one Of two
or three supports substituted. One
consists of three wires, equidistant
around the top, and bent so as to
hang over the top Of the lamp chin
ney. Anotheramethod Is q regular
support fitting the top and attached to
the lamp at the base of the chimney;
or else the lower edge Of the shade
may be wired and the usual tripod
support be used. lt~
l made two like this, using the first
mentioned style of hanging just for
fun this summer, and the cheerful,
red-fgured Japanese lily shades made
such hit that all my neighbors made,
or had me make, the same things for
them.-Harper's Bazaar.

intricate uncertainties to soften tie

Equally true is the fact that gown
which Is extremely becoming today Is
very mediocre tomorrow. Its value as
a setting for the personality varies
with the moods Of the 'wearer. When
discouragement, depression and a gen.
eral feeling Of dullness envelops one
in a gray cloud the tendency Is to don
black, a gray or a dull brown gown.
Such a choice Is great mistake, tend.
ing to accentuate the gloom about the
wearer. Crush such a choice under
foot and choose instead the llVeliest
dress In your wardrobe. Something
with red, brilliant green, bright blue
or any vivid tone.
