Lamp Shades

lamp shades are the making Of
4 room when they are bright and
new, but how bedraggled they
look when faded and soiled. When
they get in this condition, the
home-loving woman will attack
them. Remove all metal braids and
fringes or other unwashable ma
teriais. Dust the shade with a
soft brush and shake out all the
dust you can, then immense it in a
tub Of lukewarm suds and later
rinse well.
To brighten the shade, add a
little coloring matter to the last
rinse water. Pat the shade with
soft, dry cloths to hasten its dry
ing and hang it up to dry. If the
old trimmings are not fit to re-
place, deck it out with new ones.

The Folding Table

A convenience in the home is q
folding table which may be pack
ed out of sight when not needed.
1t may be used for cards, to seat
extra guests at the family reunion
or in the kitchen, where table room
is at a premium when serving a
large company. One needs extra
table space on which to spread
out the salad or desert plates. In
the sewing room, the folding table
is a boon upon occasion. 1t is con-
venient in every room, for emery
ency uses.

monotones or tweedy mixtures
lead for suits. Evening dresses
run to the darker shades, navy

suede gloves are sharing the hon
ors with the white glove so popu-
lar last season.
Hats have shallow crowns, tiny
brims, and are worn higher in the
back and tilted forward in front,
usually toward the right eye. The
brims roll and show the hair on
the right side. Trimmings of quilts,
ostrich feathers, ribbons, flowers,
and wells have come back.

The opening was steady. to II points

Liverpool cables. but later deliveries
were influenced by covering and trade
buying. Near months firmed up right
after the opening and the general mar

which was supposed to reflect an i'm

after the declines earlier in the week
May contracts sold up to 1896 and Oc-

IA to Is points. and the market closed
within few points of the best.
While Liverpool did not fully meet
the local rallies Of yesterday afternoon,
houses with continental and Liverpool
connections were among the buyers here
during the early trading This helped
to absorb the early offerings. and selling
later was in comparatively small volume.
while considerable covering developed
on the advance.
No special news factor was generally
mentioned in connection with the buy

recent reductions in estimates Of foreign
crops.

bankers OF the farm States.
While the larger centers show heafS

out in rural districts are discovered
institutions with abnormally large cash

IS that this is necessary as a protection

Some of the more conservative bank

fully as difficult a banking position a
year from now as at present, basing
their conclusion on the apparent future
price level for products and the inabil-
ity OF the farmer to make profits. At
the same time his overhead is not ma
