A Dainty Lamp Shade

The lamp shade is a most important
Item in the furnishing of a room, whether
the lamp is for reading purposes or mere
ly for illumination. In selecting mate
rials 1t is advisable to study them by
daylight as well as before a light, be-
cause many shade seen over light is
soft and pretty, but under the glare Of
full daylight is totally off color and is
a blot on the general effect of the room.
So that It is we'll to select the color by
daylight and the quality of the fabric by
candle light.
There has been great fad for fiow-
cred material on background in the
general demand for the black note in
decorations, and plain black satin with
out the flowers has been by no means
unusual, but for the bedroom or dining
room lamp lighter shades are preferable
and in the dressing room. especially when
colored or f1owered shades are used, they
are made Of china silk and lined with
pink to soften the light.

Covers for Cushions

As the spring sewing progresses the
housewife is careful to lay aside large
remnants Of wash fabrics which are not
worth saving for other purposes to serve
as summer covers for her soft pillows
Ginghams especially are suitable for this
purpose, as they wash well--a necessary
quality for porch cushions. The deft
sewer cuts applique designs from smaller
scraps and applies them in various pat
terms on her plain linen covers. She can
simulate cretonnes by cutting out flowers
or model funny Dutch figures and other
quaint designs from tiny scraps laid down
in mosaic fashion inside a pencil outline
taken off with tissue paper transfer.

Slot Seams Again in Style

Slot seams are seen once more on some

years ago when they were in fashion
they were so popular that almost every
dress had slot seam somewhere on it,.

the slot seam went out

Care of Indoor Plants

Ferns as they come from the florists
prepared for indoor culture should be
placed in n strong light, though they
grow well without sunlight. They should
be watered sparingly, but should be kept
moist at all times. Improper watering,
especially keeping the plant soaked or
permitting 1t to get dry is the founda-
tion of most fern difficulties. 1t Is es-
pecially difficult not to overwater when
tho fern is in a jardiniere, where drain
age is necessarily poor. In spring and
summer they will require three times the
water necessary in fall and winter.
1t Is we'll occasionally to put them in

Lace Edgings

Irish crochet drops and buttons are
much used. though the last itself Is out
of favor. and some Of the very narrow
Irish edgngs, too, are often seen. All
extremely narrow edgngs, indeed have
their places this spring finishing frills
and lounces and folds without actually
assuming the Importance of trimming.
There are more charming headings and
venlnEs than usual too, and these are
greatly used for Joining seams, setting In
trimmings, separating group Of tucks, etc.
Some of the new fine cluny things of this
sort are particularly good, and there are
many fine and dainty lingerie frocks and
blouses that have little or no trimmings
other than such beading.

A violet In a meadow, green,
With low-bent head, and scarcely seem
In lonely shyness grew;
There came maiden young and fair,
OF dancing step and carefree air
with bllthesome song
To pass the meadow through.
"Ah Were I but the ruddy rose"
The violet sighed, that proudly blows,
The gardens fairest flower,
That by my loved ones fair hand pressed
might upon her bosom rest.
Although 1t were
But for one neeting hourl"
Alas! Alas!, The maid passed by.

She trod the violet sweet:

Yet, dying thus. was satisfied;
And 80 die I.

Stern, 1927 South Sd street, Philadelphia, for
the following suggestion:
Take n handle of a ohild's broom or
any smooth stick, and insert into one
end good strong screw hook right

an article which is useful for many pur-
poses--to draw hot utensils out of the
oven, to pull down window shades which
have jumped beyond ones reach. to pull
windows down from the top, to reach

gT1HE tragedy Of the Inflated Busitenia
i was followed by one pretty romance,
which is interesting in that the couple
involved had the briefest Of acquaint-
anceship. and fell in love 80 quickly that
It was real case OF that muoh-ques-
toned condition, love at flrst sight"
The lmpetuous Romeo, John Welsh,
was young engineer, while the lady Of
his choice, Miss Gerta Nelson, was
charming little milliner On boarding the
great Cunarder, the young man was at
once attracted to the girl. who was stand
ing by herself watching the great crowds
on the landing stage below, and Il was not
long before he managed TO get into con
versation with her. A day or two later
the anair having progressed with won
derful rapidity, they decided to get mar
rled as soon as the shores OF England
should bo reached
However, "the best laid schemes Of
mice and men gang aft agley' and the
terrific disaster occurred while the en-
rRptured couple were seated In their
favorite corner Of the general sitting
room, discussing the problematlc dangers
from German submarines. IAN appall-

Welsh then secured two life belts and
placed one around the girl, pushing her
hurriedly into a boat.

OUTING COSTUMES SHOW NEW
TENDENCIES THIS SUMMER

GPORTS costumes are get
- ting more and more varied
and, incidentally, more and
more unlque-ns the summer
goes on. The first styles shown
were plain ''knickers" OF
worsted or tweed. Then fol-
lowed the corduroy top coat and
the silk sweater, and, follow
ing them, the Palm Beach and
the cotton ratlne suit. And
now comes a new style, per-
haps destined for the few who
go in for the bizarre-namely
the cretonne coat. And they
aren't confined to coats, either.
Cretonne sailors made their ap-
pearance some time ago, fol-
lowed by cretonne skirts.
The favorite combination is
a cretonns top coat and a cotton
gabardine skirt, This is usually
white. although some Nile and
hunters green styles have been
shown. The colorings in this
cretonne jacket are those of the
Vatican period-delicate pinks
and green's and blues. with a
cream -eolored background. The
cut of the coat is the Prince
Chap model so fashionable on
cloth suits early in the spring.
There Is no trimming. The skirt
is very wide and circular in
shape. The effect Is very smart
for country club wear.
The sailor worn in the iilu-
stration Is made of white
suede, one Of the newest fash
ions. 1t has almost replaced
white felt for sports wear.
The trimming Is plain. simply a
bandeau OF white and black kid
around the high crown II is
noticeable that the sailor shape
is almost generally worn with
the outing suit, no doubt be-
cause OF its practical lines.

aged to get a hold on the little looped

Later on, both got into the boat, and
two hours afterward we're taken aboard

After a few days the young couple were
quietly married at a registry office IN

OF the ocean, including small fortune

amassed out In Honolulu.
think that this young couple has
every chance of happiness. Although the
period OF their acquaintance has been
brief they have tried and proved each
other and neither has been found want
ing Both showed courage, endurance
and a disregard OF the financial question
as essential In matrimonial happiness,
for they have started in double harness
without a nickel to smooth the road for
them. Poverty is an excellent school,
and spurs a young couple on to achieve
ment,
The hasty marriages which are taking
place all over England Just now and
which are forming burning question for
discussion on the part Of all and sundry
are really nothing to be concerned about
at all. II the girls want to become war
brides, why not let them have their way?
Surely they know the condition Of their
own hearts better than any one else, and
are the best judges OF their own happl-
ness The world would really be a much
pleasanter place II people could be per-
suaded to mind their own business and
cease this perpetual interference in mat
ters which are of no concern to them.
Marriages In haste can turn out Just as
happily as marriages in leisure, some
times more so, and the only consideration
that really matters is the genuineness OF
feeling on the part of both young people
