Make Your Own Lamp Shades .4.

Charming Effects That May be Evolved With Colored Gut Paper For Home Decoration.

you want to carry out original patterns you must trace their Bubject with a broad double outline of uniform width to stimulate the leading employed In real stained glass upon stiff cardboard, which should not be very thick or the cutting out process will be rendered very difficult. Four or six sections will be required for the sides and a square piece for the top. The cardboard la then laid on a sheet of glass or very smooth hard wood and all the Intervening spaces between the lines

The right border of each section should be double the width of the left one. A line Is drawn down the center and lightly scored with a knife, but not cut? through. The outer half Is then turned back to form a clean, sharp turning. This extra fold is glued beneath the left border of the second section, which In turn is secured in like manner to the third, and so on until all sides are completed. They are lined with white tissue paper. The square forming the top is also provided with extra pieces for turning in

two tones of green. It Is not necessary, however, to confine oneself to floral designs, especially when panels or window decorations are In process of making. Figures are remarkably effective and not as hard to manage as one would Imagine. Features, details of hands, etc., must be jpalnted In on cream or flesh colored tkth at the back of the design. A study of stained glass will greatly assist as to the arrangement of borders, backgrounds and coloring.. Coats of arms and heraldic designs generally are highly adaptable to this cut paper work. Practical and prosaic details suggest that delightful night light holders may be made in cylindrical form, ornamented

Newest In Evening Gowns The , evening gown illustrated has various new points that are worth describing. The high corselet fourreau of oyster white satin fits like a glove around the hips, but a noticeable feature in the design is the great fullness that is brought into the skirt at the back, to which we have long been unaccustomed. Over the satin fourreau is a close fitting tunic made of a latticework cf silver cord and opals, an opal being set wherever the cords cross each other. This tunic falls in a deep point almost to the feet in front, the line rising thence to the back, where the tunic ends just where the

WHAT WOMEN ARE DOING. Miss Sophie Wright, founder of the first night school in New Orleans, is one of the few women who have received the loving cup which is annually presented to the citizen who has done the greatest public good for the city during the year. In this cup was a check for $10,000, which had been subscribed by the citizens of New Or-

she knows how to wage war against slugs and snails. At Sir Thomas Lipton's estate in Colombo, where she was a recent guest, one wonders if she assisted In the gathering of the tea leaves. When it rains she plays patience, laying the cards before her on the table in a solitary game. To play patience and to poke around the flowers even an empress must thus find her comfort in a, lonely old age!

The Gown of the S

eason

Carved coral is enjoying a revival. The coral comes In the odd, old fashioned "bunches" of flowers or fruits or simply round pebbles, apparently, crowned with a small carved head. This autumn will see the fashion for

elaborate trimming under the arm in j

full swing. No one can prophesy these days how long It or any other fashion will remain In style. All one can hope for nowadays Is that styles won't go hopelessly out of fashion before one can wear the garment one Is having made. A dressmaker should really go home with every gown to alter It on its arrival. 5 One of the new bracelets that are attracting attention Is a band of gold from a half inch to an inch wide, either heavily engraved or covered with a pattern of black or colored enamel. K What next? A coat has been made and worn that Is trimmed with buttons that resemble eyes! They are long, narrow and painted to look like the human eye.

counter. Even now one may find charming little curlycue things made of satin rat tail braid in black and colors or rosettes of taffeta with pinked edges that look sometimes like huge carnations. These two are the salient features of the 1S30 gown. They are used to decorate the full skirt. They play their part upon the pointed bodice or upon the elbow sleeves. n According to notes from Paris, the simple leather belt Is going to come Into Its own again as Boon as ever there is visible a waist Una which it may Inclose. i The world has grown quite weary of net blouses. It has seen too many of them In the past year. The material that has been substituted la fine eyelet embroidery. This is found In colors as well as white and ecru. It is often dyed to match the suit, although the guimpe Is now the preferred thing, as the one piece frock is more and more In fashion. , The waistcoat will play an important role In autumn wear if the low cut coats buttoning below the waist Una retain their popularity. This length of line in the revers is very graceful and

Beaded effects are all the rage this fall. You see them on the jersey waists now so much worn and also on the expensive cloth dresses. Cashmere is being revived extensively, and black cashmere trimmed with satin is especially favored. The sash with a flat bow in the back is another feature to be reckoned with. It appears on nearly all the imported models. A last year's empire evening dress can be made up to date by adding an overdress of spangled effect and bringing one of these sash effects low down to give the long waisted look. No satin hats will be worn the coming winter. White or black moire will prevail instead where the finest silk beaver is not used. But silk beaver is the smart thing above all else. It comes in all colors and is trimmed with feathers and ai-

grets, carrying out the soft effect.

Many a prosperous man has married a plain, little, mouse colored woman for this one quality alone. A man likes to feel sure that he can always come home and find it. Management of the Home. Ability to manage a house and to direct a servant is not to be under

estimated. Love sooa flies out of the j window where there Is discomfort. j And perhaps the knack of appearing j

always well dressed is equally valuable. This means more good taste than expenditure of money. It also means cleverress in adjusting garments, hair, etc. This is something which can be cultivated and which grows on one, as the opposite extreme does also. In fact, any thoughtful woman will
