Among the many electric lamps
this season there are none prettier
and more effective than those made
of wood, whether in extremely simple
design or hand-carved with artistic
patterns. For the room furnished in
old mahogany there comes a lamp on
colonial lines in perfect keeping with
the other furnishings. These lamps
are fitted with a globe quite like
those on the candle lamps of long
ago.
Other standards are of wood stain
cd in the rich greens and browns, and
others are painted white and enam-
eled so that they resemble ivory or
porcelain. With a shade of just the
correct size and style to bring out
the lines Of the standard, one has a
lamp that is thoroughly practical and
satisfying to the esthetic sense.

DAY OF THE DOUBLE SKIRT

on the Increase.

The vogue of the double skirt seems
to be increasing The under one. gen
orally Of supple satin, is often draped
and drawn in around the ankles Over
this contrasting material is draped
or pleated. In the latter case it
might pass for an elongated tunic.
especially as it is often of taffeta.
The fancy for these double skirts
finds a better medium of expression
in the sheer summer materials.
Through the upper one, which is
transparent. one sees the colored gar
niture of the under one and the effect
is very soft and pretty.
Ribbons are used for this trimming
of the foundation skirt, just as they
are employed under transparent bod
ices. This use of ribbons under sheer
waists was introduced about year
ago, but did not find its way into the
fashions for the multitude until this
spring In spite Of the fact that it has
now reached the bargain counter
stage it is still a feature of many ex-
quiste toilets

many valuable dye woods. gums and

AS to mining, the gold mines are
very important and are worked by
American and British companies. The
gold export averages a million dollars
year.
Nicaragua trades with the outside

might be greatly extended. OF the ex-
