Decide on the color of the silk which
is to cover the frame, and get piece

Wrap all the wires on the frame with
the binding ribbon. Measure the wire
frame to find the amount of silk which
will be required to cover it. The silk
is sewed smooth around the lower wire
Of the frame and is plated in to fit the
top wire. Buy enough silk to line
the shade. The lining MAJ be the same
as the outside covering or a contrast
ing color may be used with good effect.
Thin India silk is best for making
lamp shades.
To cover the frame sew the silk to
the lower edge, fitting it smoothly over
the wire with no fullness and lap
the edges where the silk is joined.
Plait in the silk to fit the top wire, and
sew it over the top wire, pulling it
very tight from the bottom so there
will be no wrinkles Pin the plaits
in place first and then sew in place.
Buttonhole twist is best for sewing on

to find out the amount Of velvet rib

has six stripes of the velvet running
from the top of the shade down to
points several inches below the bot
tom. Allow for these strips when
buying the velvet. The velvet ribbon
may be any width desired. A piece
an inch and half wide is good. The
strips down the side may be wider if
desired. Adjust the velvet ribbon to
the shade and sew in place and then
put in the lining. To sew in the lin

are decorated with silk flowers or
fruit.

NEED FOR BALANCE WHEEL
Courage Is, of Course, Magnificent
Thing, But Should Be Regulated
by Prudence.

Courage is an indispensable quality
In our success; but If it is not bal
anced and regulated by prudence it
will run away with US and lead us into
all sorts Of foolhardy things. Boldness
Is great quality when it is held in
check by proper cautiousness and
guided by good judgment.
l know a man whose courage is very
much over-developed and his faculty
Of caution Is very deficient. He does
not know what fear means, and he
'plunges into all sorts of foolish oper-
ations which do not turn out well, and
he is always trying to get out Of
things which he had gone into hastily.
If his prudence had been equally de-
veloped with his courage, with his bold
ness, he would have made a very
strong man.
Futile endeavors, half-hearted ef-
forts never accomplish anything. 1t
takes the fire of determination, en-
ergy, push, and good judgment to ac-
complish that which counts. 1t is the
well-balanced enthusiastic man with
fire In his blood, and ginger in his
brain, who makes things move and
achieves the seemingly impossible

Being a shy young woman, I always

CUPBOARD FOR LINEN PIECES
Shelves Should Be Made of Strips Of
Wood Instead of One
Solid Board.

An ideal place for linen is a wen
ventilated cupboard, in a warm, dry
place and in a good light. The shelves
should be made of strips of wood in.
stead of one solid piece, so that the
air can circulate freely.
Linen will wear longer and more
evenly if it is used uniformly. Put
the clean linen in the bottom of the
pile and use, from the top. In this
way each piece is used in turn.
1t is not economy to store linen for
long periods without using it. This ap-
plies particularly to starched linen, for
the starch rots and discolors it. 1t is
the "best" linen which is most likely
to suffer in this way 1t should have
its turn for family use, and go through
the wash occasionally.
A good way to protect the corners
Of tablecloths, (which somehow always
suffer in the laundry, is to sew piece
of tape on them; six inches is enough,
three on each side of the corner, and
the tape is sewn flat to meet exactly
the edge of the cloth.

The Prodigal Village
By Irving Bachelor
AtNaon ungBahda

The officer picked up a newspaper
clipping, which lay on his desk, and
passed it to Mr.. Baker. 1t was from
the New York Evening Post. The
banker read aloud this startling in
formation:
"The New York police report that
approximately 5000 girls have run
away or disappeared. from their homes
in the past eleven months, and the
bureau of missing persons estimates
that the number who have disappeared
throughout the country approximates
68,OOO.'"
'1t's rather astonishing" the chief
went on. "The women seem to have
gone crazy these days. Maybe it's
the new dancing and the movies that
are breaking down the morals Of the
little suburban towns or maybe it's
the excitement of the war. Anyhow,
they keep the city supplied with run
aways and vamps. You are not the
first anxious father 1 have seen to-
day. You can go home: I'll put a
man on the case and let you know
what happens"

their flexibility is that they do fall
into such graceful curves when they

The trimming, when there is any
trimming, is placed fiat on the hat in
some way or another never being
allowed to jut out at right angles, but
taking its graceful way according to
the lines directed by its designing
artist. When it slides off the side it
still does this trick in a slightly con-
ventional manner, for there is no lati-

While this was happening, Mr.. Ba-

Judge heard him through and then
delivered another notable opinion, to
wit: "There are many subjects on

to be sound. Also there are many

went on. "The masculine tempera-

problems of her life. Naturally the
average man is pretty well informed
on the subject of men. You nave
prospered these late years. You have
been so busy getting rich that you
have just used your home to eat and
sleep in. You can't do a home any
good by eating and snoring and read

"My wife would have her own way
there" said Baker.

faster they slide when they're going

that in case of sliding.
"The young have taste for velocity

fast that they don't know what to do
with it, so they're apt to get their

Mr.. Emmanuel Baker arose and be-

Which Tells of the Complaining Coin
and the Man Who Lost His Self.
There was certain gold coin in a
little bureau drawer in Bingville which
began to form a habit of complaining
to it's master.
"How cold 1 am !" 1t seemed to say
to the boy. 81 was cold when you put
me in here and have been cold ever
since. Br-r-rl I'm freezing"
Bob Moran took out the little draw
er and gave 1t shaking as he looked
down at the gold piece.
"Don't get rattled," said the re-
doubtable Mr.. Bloggs, who had a great
contempt for cowards..
1t was just after the Shepherd of
the Birds had heard of a poor widow
who was the mother of two small
children and who had fallen sick Of
the influenza with no fuel in her
house.
81 am cold, toop' said the Shepherd.
"Why, Of course you are" the coin
answered. "That's the reason I'm
cold. A coin is never any warmer
than the heart of its owner. Why
don't you take me out Of here and
give me a chance to move around?"

Hats from the spring collections of
Partisan modistes show as their out
standing feature the drOop at the side
either at one side or at both. This
cannot exactly be called new, but it
is one of those styles that have been
tried and found desirable by so many
women that it earns the reward of
stepping over into another season.
There are new drOOps and new YER
sions of the old droops, but droop
they do if they are fashionable.

MiIady Smoked Long Ago.

Smoking among women started
when Sir Walter Raleigh offered the
"divine weed" to Queen Elizabeth, but
he almost paid the penalty with his
life. So very sick did the few whiffs
of tobacco make the royal lady that
courtiers whispered Master Raleigh
had poisoned her, and dark looks were
his portion. Her highness recovered,
however, and took a truly Elizabethan
revenge by making the countess Of
Nottingham and all her maids smoke
out a whole pipe among them.
