Watch the Color.
The paper should be fastened, when
the paint is dry, to the board with
the other side up and the wrong side
treated In the same manner. It will
often be found desirable to repeat
the color used for the outside Of the
shade. in order to strengthen the
effect when the light is shining
through It, since all colors appear
paler when illuminated, but where
fairly light tones are used for the
right side. orange or rose will often
prove most effective for the lining,
since they give a warm glow when
the light is turned on. Discretion
must be used when deciding this
question. however, for a blue shade

larly blue lined with rose will take

When both sides of the paper are
dry, the outline of the shade should
be drawn upon it, preparatory to cut
ting out. For this a pattern will be
needed. Remove the water-color pa
per from the board and draw the pat
tern on heavy wrapping paper, fast
enlng It securely to the board and
driving a slender brad or heavy pin
upright into the center. Tic n string
sufficient times around the brad to
prevent slipping. Now, resting the
point of the pencil on the paper in
a true upright position. swing it
around in a wide circle. keeping the
string taut. Next, unwind the string
from the brad and lengthen it enough
so that the distance from the first
line to the point where the pencil
now touches the paper is equal to the
height desired for the shade, and
draw a second circle. Cut out and
overlap the ends until the shade is
the correct size, and then trim off one
end, allowing for a half-inch lap,
The greater the distance of the pen
ell from the center, the larger the
circles described, and the stralghter

LET YOUR CLOTHES EXPRESS PERSONALITY

LIKE to look at Mrs. US outfit.
She always appears to be we'll
dressed, and yet she doesn't seem
20 have many Clothes" Thus spoke
a woman at a recent gathering Of
women. II Mrs. J. could have told
her secret without seeming too ego
tistical she would have revealed some
interesting facts which would have
proved a source of help to many of
her hearers.
In the first place tho uni in
question always aims to introduce in
her costumes a color TO match her
hair or her eyes. or both. This idea
is especially good for the woman
who has no claim to beauty; the use
OF the matching color tends to give
the carer beauty.
Another important point which
Mrs. J.. always observes, is to stick
10 one or two colors. In this way
ones complete OUTFIT is sure to be in
good taste.
To reach success In dressing It Is
necessary for n woman to mako a
close study of her figure, her man
ncrs and her habits before she can
strike the proper notes. 1t Is a mis-
take TO be in a hurry TO accept the
latest style Just TO be considered

is destined to drop from cleaning
shoulders across which lie straps of
diamonds.
There is nothing more regal than

do not fnd a ape pleasing
for street wear, especially in Winter.
But there is no questioning its charm
for evening. And it never rose TO
such heights OF elegance as It docs
this season.
Velvet is quite as rogulsh for
gowns as for wraps. A creation de-
signed for one Of Americas smartest
matrons is Of sapphire blue velvet
with a circular skirt and a bodice de-
veloped on the lines of the Moycn age
This Is a most youthful affair, the
side seams being treated in an inter-

the modes Of those who copy rather

and one upright with black paint.
Roll the frame on the wrapping pa
per until the upright registers a sec
ond time. The form thus outlined can
then be cut out and used as a pat
tern, not forgetting, of course. to add
the half-inch lap at the end. After
this is done, remove the uprights by
cutting them in the middle and bend
ing gently from side to side until the
soldering gives at the point where
they join the circle. the top and bot
tom circles being all that are needed
on which to mount the shade.
Decorating the Shade.
When parchment shades are to be
decorated, the paper is oiled and
dried, and the pattern of both shade
and design must be drawn in. Tho
design is then painted before rubbing
in the background, because the lat
ter must not extend under the deco
ration for fear Of mu6dying the col
ors. This restriction does not apply
when the background is cream, pale
gray, or a very delicate tan. When
dry apply the background with a wad
as before, working up as closs rs
possible to re design, and then all
ing in with a brush. The lining color
should be applied with a wad in the
same manner. taking care that the
color does not III over the design,
as this. too, will muddy the colors
when the shade is lighted.
AS a final coat or finish, clear shell
lac is used on both sides. thinned
llf and half with denatured alcohol.
As many IS six or eight coats of this
may be applied with good results, the
shellac to be rubbed on as the oil and
turpentine were. For the lacquered
effect use heavier coats of shellac,
rubbing down with powdered rotten
stone and linseed oil between coats.
After cutting out the shades from
the pattern, lap the ends and fasten
with tiny, round-headed, brass fast
eners, gluing the spaces between.
Then sew the shade to the top and
bottom wires with heavy cotton
thread. binding these edges with fat.

speak for you The woman with a
stately stature would look ridiculous
in a frilly frock, whereas the petite
girl, who is full OF action and coy
ways, should avoid the severely
plain lines.
A general rule to remember is that
a touch OF white or flesh color is
needed near the face. Dark colors
near the complexion are not be-

The white or pink note may be intro

A FaVorite Color.
There is something so fascinating
about sapphire blue velvet, don't you
think? In satin this shade Is almost
commonplace and even common, but
in velvet it becomes queenly. A wom-
an famous on two continents for her
exquisite taste in gowns favors this
