box on the lower part OF the standard
a box big enough to hold a few
trinkets of jewelry.

Lamps are always welcomed by the
woman who keeps house. You can
wish to. There are shops that make
lamps Of vases. inserting wires and
fixtures in the proper place in an ex-
pert manner. So il you wish to make
"a lamp up yourself, do it. Choose
vase. in any color you wish, and then
get the shade to go with it. A parch-
ment shade with rich coloring looks
well on dull bronze bowl for q base.
