they the kind that each and every one
enjoys, but they are the kind that will
be remembered for some time to come.
They are such in which every one can
get right into and take part. The Jewish
girls of the city have at last found a
field in which they have vast opportuni-

advantage. The coming month is one
which has quite good deal in store for

her who can sing also and then she
teaches them her songs and they take

Lampshades and the Economists.
Since one rnilliner put out a lamp

a sunshade and was suggested by it,
a woman exclaimed that she knew
what to do with the ornam entail lamp
shades in her household that she was
not using.
Such are economists. They have
dweIt in every generation, and the
journalists of other days seem to have
catered to them in an exclusive man
ner, judging from old fashion books
that one reads of not more than
twenty years ago.

Today, however, we have learned
that all such talk is puerile. There
are economies that are worse than
extravaganza. and the sensible woman
admits 1t. If she buys q lampshade
hat, she buys it pure and simple.

This hat Is not as lightly imposed
upon the head as it would seem from
