All About Jessica.

quiet. A cool breeze beloved the
curtains. and the music from below

Mark. I'm at my wits ends and that's

Paddy said nothing then to Mrs.

that that hole had been chopped in

that hole had been chopped in the

chopped it knew that he and Mrs.

this evening we took a ride in the sec

he was even better than the first fell

But l guess Joan thought the first

head. Most of my jokes do. but it
didn't matter because she probably
would not have laughed very much
anyway.
The car we are buying is a coach,
and I don't know whether it will run
very much or not. but Joan says the
upholstery and finish are perfectly

When | was in Paris recently ] saw
fascinating lamp shades. 50 simple
effective and with decided possibilities
of Responsiveness when homemade,
that l jotted down the idea TO tell
you. The shades are a combination of
two styles, neither of which is I'M
familiar TO us, but in combination as
seen in the French shops they were
unique. They had just that little
touch of difference" that indicates
individuality of style.
The frame is of wicker very open
in design, not like the usual sort re
sembling a coarse cane seating pat
tern, but rather a skeleton framework
of reed. Sometimes the frame con
siStS of little more than bent and
curved bars of fiat reed to which the
fabric beneath was fastened, but it
should be stained or painted black and
given a lustrous finish
The fabric. That is part of the dis
fiction, for it is nothing more or less
than fine. checked bingham. However,
unless you have seen one of these
lamp shades YOU can have no idea
how intriguing it is with the colorful
little checks crossed at regular inter
walls by the shining black ribs of the
frame, beneath which a wee frill of
the Bingham flares slightly.
Frames for Shades.
Such lamp shades can be made by
any woman who is at all deft with her
needle. If the frame is not readily
found that corresponds with the style
described. there are many other
models of reed. splinter or wicker
frames that can be used. The one
thing that is of moment. if YOU would
follow the Partisan vogue. is TO have
the color glossy black.
How TO Make Shades.
Beneath it any shade of Bingham
can be employed TO suit personal pref
erence or color schemes of rooms. The
gingham should not be very full, and
can be cut long enough to include the
ruff1e about the bottom Of the shade.
Or the frill can be separate and be
more ruffied because fuller than the
lower portion of the Bingham lining.
This latter way is recommended
though the former is easier. There are
three ways of attaching the Bingham
lining to the frame. One is with glue
where the frame comes. another is
with stitches taken with black glossy
thread, and the third is with both glue
and thread, a little glue and a few
stitches.
Appropriate Use.
Gingham-lined wicker lamp shades
are not for living rooms in Winter
dress nor for any formal rooms They
are delightful, however, for chambers,
for sun porches both during Summer

With both the New York Van.
KEGS and Pittsburgh Pirates boast
ing batting averages of more than
800, the pitchers on the opposing
clubs should go to bed early like
nice boys.
Not that the moundsmen or both
teams haven't been up against the
kind of hitting that the series is
expected to produce.
In most discussions of the pitch
crs, the Pirates have been given the
edge. The records, however, give
the Yanks all the better of it.
Without statistics on the number
of innings pitched, the records of
hits allowed, bases on balls and
strike outs cannot well be COM
pared. But, in the manner Of win
ming games, the Yankee box men
have it all over the Pirates.
1t must be admitted that the
Pittsburgh Pirates are steadier, hav-
ing a better percentage of strike
outs to bases on balls. But the true
strength of the Yanks lies in the
number of runs they have allowed
their opponents-less than an aver

on the other hand, have permitted
4.5 runs per game to be scored
against them.
