lamp look just as you want 1t to at very small cost.
 It doesn't matter where you begin, whether with the shade or the base. The essential thing is that the two harmonize So if you first find d shade that just suits your rancy, then look about until you find 8 base that goes with 1t perfectly. Of course, you mustn't look on the lamp counter for the base. Search for it instead among bowls and jardiniers Or perhaps you have a suitable base in the form of a jar or bowl of some sort in your own house.
 The base may be of copper or brass or of pottery of some sort. It is some- times even possible to find a pottery bowl or Japanese make decorated with the exact pattern found on some of the Japanese parchment shades. There are also very good and not expensive hammered brass jardinieres of oreintal make--a very good one may be bought for as small a price as s.
 It is not every electrician that knows how to turn an old bowl into a lamp. But if you persevere you will surely find one who can fasten the socket. in the bowl, insert the end of the wire through it's side or base and cover the opening at the top of the bowl with some sort of metal cap. The price for InlS sort or work varies, of course. But some electricians will assemble a lamp for S2 or $3-including nine or twelve feet of silk covered wire of good quaI- ity
 An especially happy experience in mak- ing lamp was started when a young woman found a lovely Japanese shade sold at reduction because of pin prick. The imperfection was unnotice-
 able to casual observer. It was of parch-
 ment mounted in black lacouered
 wooden frame. It was decorated with the famous thousand wisemen" design i really some 40 or 50 Japanese figures 1 squatting over the surface of the shade. The colors in the shade were dull blue, terra cotta, a good deal of tannish vel low and tracery of old gold. The oues-
 ton of base was solved when she , found hammered brass jardniere from l India. The dull tones of the brass and the squat shape of the jar made it ad- mirable for the base of this particular shade. When the electrician fitted in the socket he put a flat brass plate in the opening of the jardiniere, but care- fully fitted it half an inch below the | top so that the color of the new brass 1 would not show.
 l For the total price of s75o a lamp that could not have been duplicated. ready made, for twice that amount was 1 assembled.

N AIR. TIM MURPHY is a very nice lWIl person. found this out over the
 0VGS phone early yesterday morning.
 Anybody who can be as agreeable as he
 was at that timfe in the morning (some-
 where north of 12 o'clock). Is bound to
 be a nice person. Later when met him
 face to face, and heart to heart, my opin- ion was corroborated.
 Mir. Tim Murphy Is one of the incest
 persons I ever met. He's fine and big
 (this way, not that way) he's high and
 scarce; he's tall, not broad, except as far as his mind Is concerned), and he's brim full of good humor, although, ike all comedians, he's quite serious 'off'' the stage. I've always found that it's the heavy tragedians who are funniest off the stage Sometimes "on' the stage), and always when I've gone to interview them I've discovered that they are more humorous than the professional comedian.
 When MT. Tim Murphy shakes hands with you 1t gives you a sort of warm, comrady thrill; when he talks with you, why you find that he takes a big, tele- scopic view of life; with a swift keen, birds-eye vision. Now, this does not mean that he is "owlshly" serious. In deed, no; one of his greatest assets is his big, hearty, cordial laugh, and he laughs a great deal. Also MT. Murphy says the most agreeable things in the world to you, as for instance he thinks it's aw- fully nice of you to want to write 8 story about him, which gives him another good asset, modesty. and he's heard lot of pleasant things about the way you do things, which adds No. 3 to assets, meaning generosity, and and well, to be noticed at all by person who is as popular and widely known as an actor of real merit and cleverness. as MT. Tim Murphy, is high praise. And when he turned out to be so human and attractive and all that and flattered me by saying he'd added me to his list of "real good friends" why, I sort of swelled up Cor is 1t 'swole?" I never did know past lenses and things about certain words) and assumed a superior attitude that is ing nature. so that everybody I saw yes terday afternoon kept asking me what was the cause of my inflated state Of mind, and if some kind, benevolent con. siderate relative had died and left me million dollars.

ONLY A VOLUNTEER

By volunteer at Camp Wheeler Why didn't I wait to be drafted, And led to the train by a band, And put in my claim for exemption; Oh, why didn't I hold up my hand; Why didn't wait for the banquet, Why didn't I wait for a cheer, For the drafted men get all the credit, While I am merely volunteer. Nobody gave me banquet, Nobody said a kind word;
 The puff of the engine. the grind of
 the wheel
