It's terribly unfair to use your

And it's terribly unwise to use them

they're ineffective and annoying to
any one.
I've known ridiculous kids who have
told me that they actually burst into

And a good many of them found
that the effect was far from desirable.
No boy in the world wants a cry

You'll find that fair argument with
a boy will bring you more success in

Save your tears for the time when
you literally have to shed them-and
you'll get real sympathy and under

Hand work put on lamp shades is as
suredly not hid under a bushel.
Such handwork is where every one
within the room may see it and where
attention is once attracted to it. 1t
might be said truthfully that If a per-
son had a very little amount Of leisure
tt devote to ncedlework. it could no.
where he used with more conspicuous
effect than on lamp shade.
So today I am going to tell you Of a
wis., investment of time from the
standpoint of the amount of beauty
yielded. A lamp shade with panels en-
broidered in a dainty cross-stitch de-
sign of a diminutive Towering plant IS
an exquisite accessory de lux which
can be made by any needleWoman.
Appropriate Use.
Such a lamp shade for bedroom or
boudoir should be executed in delicate
shades. The materials recommended
are maruuisette embroidered in silk.
This combination is different and dis
tincti and makes up very success.

Beautiful Effect.
A beautiful effect can be obtained by
