"Princess Patn lsamp-Shades.

Princess Pat" has inspired the con-
valescent Canadian soldiers in max
ing lamp-shades that. are charming
and give play to much imagination
and originality. They are quite SIM
pie and may easily be made at home.
The essentials consist of heavy white
paper. a wire frame. and gay chintzes
or eolored prints. The idea is to cut
out the designs in the chintz and paste
them on the paper shade. 1t Is re-
markable the variety of designs that
may be obtained in this way. In such
shades geometrical figures make a
more formal decoration than do dane
ing girls, garlands of flowers, bands
of butterflies, or birds on the wing,
but they are all equally attractive.
and In their arrangement and color
lie their charm. These shades are
finished at the top and bottom with
bands of the same color as the decora.

prone ito ride our hobbies" to the ul-

devote our leisure time to the acquir-

A shrewd old countryman was being
questioned by the vicar on his relig-
ious tenets. He had heard the old man
was a Baptist. and although he had
nothing to say against the belief Of
this sect he implied that perhaps the
established church was the better road
to salvation. The old man. after lis
tening to the wears fears on his be-
half. said: From this village to the
market town there are three roads.
There's the straight road along the
valley. the old coach road over the
hills and the main road running along
side the park wall. When | get my
