"DEAR MRS. SPEARS: have
~ a pair of lamps for my
dressing table, and / would like to
use some of my curtain material
to cover plain shades. Can you
tell me how this is done? c. H."
Here is method that is shown
for living room lamp in Book /.
It may be used for a shade of
any size. You will need the top
and bottom rings from an old
lamp shade. A cardboard founda-
ton is cut to fit these, and the
chintz or other fabric is pasted to
the edge of this.
The ALB line in the pattern dia-
gram is as long as the diameter
of the bottom ring. The dotted
vertical line is approximately as
long as the depth of the shade.
The CD line is as long as the
diameter of the top ring. Draw
the diagonal lines to touch the
ends of the ALB and CD lines.
Place a tack where they meet at
E. Place a pencil through a loop
in a string, as shown, and draw
the bottom line of the shade max
ing it as long as the measurement
around the bottom ring plus
half inch. Shorten the string and
draw the top to fit the top ring
allowing for half inch lap.

HHICAGO.-You can shop for
~ suit of clothes or box of crack
ers, but as for shelter-well, that's
different. It's been bothering Percy
Wilson, nationally known housing
authority so long, this complex and
abstract business of shopping for
home, that he's done something
about it in hope of quickening the
tagging pulse of Americas construc-
ton industry and providing the
100000 new homes he thinks the
country needs.
His complaint:
with the exception of houses,
practically every requirement of
man is sold by well-known and
proved advertising and promotional
aids, because you have to show 'em
to sell EN- But the building indus
try is so big and complex that it
strangles itself. Material firms pur-
posely avoid launching large-scale
construction programs since they
would then be in competition with
contractors, to whom they sell their
products. As for the contractors,
they're essentially craftsmen and
are neither expected nor equipped
to sell homes. So who's going to do
it?" -..
His solution: A more integrated
merchandising plan.
Mr.. Wilson believes a puzzled pro-
spective home builder should be
able to visit museum of miniature
homes, point at one and say: "I'n
take it."
