this several men attempted to scale
these wonderful snowy peaks. There at

Such favorable results were reported

ANCIENT ART IS
SHOWN IN. LAMPS
II You Forsee An Old Chinese Vase
Use Il for the Base Of the
Lamp.

The whole world seems to have con-
tributed to the display of lamps. Rarely
have there been such unusual lamps
shown as at present. Lamps which are
exact copies Of old antiques fit well with
the antique furnishings so much in
vogue.
For those who still cling to the
Oriental furnishings some exceptional
pieces are found in the Damascus and
Benares table or standing lamps. These
have the shades lined with colored silk.
through which the light glimmers in a
pleasing effect.
Chinese lamps are at the height of
their popularity. If you possess a rare
old Chinese vase. use II for the base OF
the lamp. A silk shade with panels OF
Chinese embroidery would be a suitable
one for such lamp.
One Chinese lamp was constructed
from an odd-shaped black hawthorne
rose Jar with a gold mounting. Exactly
matching this in color was the Chinese
silk lamp shade.
For the summer home are standing
lamps in white enamel and in reed. with
cretonne shades harmonizing with the
other furnishings in the room. More
pretentious standing lamps are Of ma
hogany or carved wood, with elaborate
shades.
SILK fringe Popular.
Silk fringe is now more popular than
the bead fringe used so extensively in
the past season. Silver and gold laces,
little fancy cords and silk roses are the
principal concentrations for the silk
shades. A narrow old gold braid around
the edge makes happy finish. Crystal
lamps with cretonne shades are sum-
merry and pretty. Pretty little gold COM
position lamps with silk shades can be
purchased for so.
There is a genuine art value in some
of the Teco pottery shown. Green is the
tint used lavshly in the different pieces,
but the colors Of brown, russell. red. pur-
pies, grays, blues. and yellows also are
noted.

festooned with garlands of raised colored

KEEPING

d ENDING correctly is a thing that
will ~prevent-if not serious injury,
at least a spoiled figure. Many
Molnen when busting of woodwork,
chair rounds or table legs, reach for
ward and downward with the arm
while bending the body from the
waist. This will, in time, produce
round shoulders and the curved back
Oh old age. Far better to keep the
back straight and the head erect,
while STOPPING down by bending the
body at the knees. This will keep the
hips and waistline trim and make the
figure more 1.-THE, agile and supple. in
stead of stiff and old.
When compelled to look directly
above the head. while brushing of the
ceiling, or q high cornice, bend the
head back from the neck instead of
bending the body back at the waist.
The latter method will throw the lines
ct the figure at the hip out Of position
and will help to form the disfgurlng
little cushion Of fat at the back Of
the neck called mothers Cushion:"
while the bending of the neck itself
will tend to prevent the formation Of
this cushion of fat and will also
strengthen and keep frm the muscles
under the chin, which are the first
muscles to- grow habby az age adj
vances.
The woman who wishes to preserve
the softness and beauty of her hands
and the daintiness Of her nails. will
wear loose gloves when sweeping and
busting, and rubber gloves when
washing dishes or scrubbing.
Nothing will ruin the skin Of the
hands faster than scalding water and
strong soap; a dish mop 18th a long
handle. a wire basket and drainer, and
pure white soap will be found more
valuable to the preservation of he
hands than any amount Of manicuring
and cold cream applications. It viii
be wise, in any case. to resort to the

three nights a week during the winter.
