woman whose living room lamp or drop

soothing harmoniousness.

The first step in amateur shademak-
ing is to secure a wire frame. These
may be bought at large department
stores but to my mind it is better to
have one handmade by a tinsmith. For
the cheap frames that one buys ready
made do not have flattened joints; that
is. the round wire is not fattened down
wherever it crosses over-as it should
be. Another argument for having the
frame made by tinsmith is that one
can have it the exact size one wants

one should make a bias seam.
And now comes the question OF the
kind of shade-covering-sh or

IL one has plenty Of the material,
one can have the pretty shirred. or
gathered, style OF covering. This is

width as the shade is deep and pin

around the frame: distribute the
gathers evenly between the pins, then
sew the gathered strip to the binding
that may stick out above or below
the frame. At this stage there will
be raw edges at top and bottom of
the frame, and these raw edges must
now be covered with some kind OF
trimming-either a gold braid or
narrow shirred strip Of the same silk
that covers the frame. A lining must
now be sewed on the inside of the
frame.
If the frame-maker has not enough
silk for a shirred covering and must
have, therefore. plain one, she had
