that he had caught the minds of

ment they we're his and would agree
with him.
Now, suppose We should allow our
selves to agree with him.. How could
we be happy, thinking that all the
good wishes and hard-earned results
OF our Cherry Blossom work might be
buried with our bones? Ayaunt, black
thought Rather, will all this live
after us. And to this end we work.
and trusting that our evil tendencies
will be forgotten, we unite In one

freezers turn out bricks and candy

Making a Lamp Shade

Parchment shades. painted to match the
base of tho lamp, If that happens to be u
fine piece Of pottery, or to harmonize with
some of the room furnishings, are espe-
cally attractive-and expensive. They are
quite the newest thing, and as such are
greatly to be desired. The work on them
is done by hand. and each shade is work Of
art by itself, for it is done with special
reference to the lamp with which 1t is to
be used.
But IL you know anything about decora-
tions. you can get a parchment shade all
ready to be painted for $3.50. The parch-
ment Is neatly mounted on strong wire
frame and the top and bottom are orna-
mented with dull gold braid. The colors
applied must be oil. The shade is not fin
ished for water colors.
If you make a silk shade, here is the way
to go about Il:
Cut a strip OF silk an inch wider than
the depth of the wire frame. Make It two
or three times longer than the circumfer-
ence of the shade. Turn under the top and
bottom parts of the silk so that strip
just the width OF the shade is left. Put
over the frame. drawing up the drawing
strings carefully, and distribute the gathers
evenly. Tack into place and cover the
raw edges with dull gilt braid, which may
be bought at any upholsterer's shop

How to Test Diamonds

Real brillants may be recognized by
| their great hardness and high refractive
index which are not found together IN
any other but n genuine stone. The dia-
mond STAYS brilliant because It Is so hard,
while other stones become cracked and
dulled by friction
For an experienced eye II is not difficult
to determine from the appearance of the
facets whether or not a stone is good. The
facets Of imitation stones are seldom so
regular as those in fine diamonds With
the latter the greatest care is taken in
grinding to smooth and polish not only the
facets, but also the whole form, into such
shapes as to avoid differences in the re-
Election, refraction and scattering of the
rays.
A necessary tool for testing diamonds is
the file. 1t cannot injure or mark real
diamond. 1t quickly mars an imitation.
Better than the file is fragment of sap
phire, because this is the next hardest
stone after the diamond. Any stone that
can be scratched with sapphire is surely
no diamond.
A diamond plunged into water will be
brilliant and plainly visible all the time.
An imitation stone will hardly be seen.
II a person looks through a diamond as
through a piece of glass at black dot
on a sheet of white paper one single point
will be seen clearly. If several points are
seen, or blur appears the stone is mita-
ton
The white sapphire, white topaz and rock
crystal are commonly mistaken for dla-
monds. Acid will also help to establish
the value of your diamond, although this
is work for the expert. Acid will remove
the polish on the face of the diamond. but
will not harm 1t otherwise. 1t does not
affect emeralds, rubles. sapphires or dia-
monds. limitations of these stones will

You've met the hostess, doubtless who
is jumping jack. Scarcely does she get
seated at the table and the conversation
begin to flow with that momentum which
Is necessary for an enjoyable dinner,
when up she Jumps to get something,
which, IL given time the maid could easily
supply. Do you start to tell your fa-
vorite anecdote or your most thrilling
experience, she halts you to remark
querulously that you are not eating
enough, and that you must have potatoes.
"Man does not live by bread alone" but
she doesn't know It. 1t is her convic.
ton that she is failing in hospitality IL
she does not obtrude attentions upon you.
If you are seated comfortably on the
porch for a quiet chat or meditation, she
wrinkles up her brow and beseeches you
not to have stupid time. She turns on
the talking machine and suggests dane
ing. Do you become fascinated with
dancing, she wonders If you wouldn't
have better time at auction, and forth
with the card tables are brought out.
Like Tennyson's brook, she goes on
forever. She has no repose. Her idea Of
her guests good time is never
for an instant to permit them to lose
sight of the fact that they are guests.
One leaves her house not refreshed by
the visit, but wearied with an awful
WEAKNESS, to recuperate from which it Is
necessary to take another vacation.
1t is far better not to entertain at all
than to be the jumpng-jack sort of |
hostess. MLISS.

IDEAL HOSTESS HAS MASTERED
DIFFICULT ART, M'LISS SAYS
Those Who Go to Her House Find That Repose is
the Chief Tool With Which She
Works Her Charm

GUNNER entertaining, even under the
~ most ideal circumstances. is apt to
be difficult, because weather conditions
usually conspire to make guests and
hostess, to say nothing of servants, as
touchy as hairspring, and unless all
three of these are en- rapport one has a
house divided against itself and the party
flzzles out into a fiasco instead Of the
well-planned advertisement intended.
Recently, however, it was my good for.
tune to meet that rarest of all feminine
creatures-the ideal hostess. 1t was not
that she had money to anticipate the most
far-fetched wish of the most exacting
guest of the party. 1t was not that the
weather had "let up" and all the members
of the party were too grateful for that to
be critical of anything else. 1t was not
that corps of well.trained servants
hghtened her duties
On the contrary, luck was against her.
The cook left on the eve of the assembling
of the weekend house party, and she had
TO face the coming of the guests with a
new unframed priestess of the kitchen as
her only solace.
But the woman's art was such that
even the most crotchety person present
voted that a happier two days could not
have been spent. The success of my
hostess lay in her repose. Instead of
hitting the ceiling" and developing
wrinkles and wishing that she had never
been born, she took everything smilingly. |
She explained at the outset that things
were likely to go wrong; that the morn. |
ing toast would doubtless be crisped to |
q clnder and the coffee not fit for dog to
drink. After that she never apologized.
