WOMAN’S PAGE. HOW TO MAKE SELECTIONS N LAMPS AND LAMPSHADES HE first step in lighting your home is to have a good light for the living room table. Through many generations, families have gathered around a liv- ing room table where candles or an oil lamp, more or less level with the human eye, threw light over content- ed shoulders. Eyes were not strained or nerves unduly éxcited by a rest- less search for a place to sit where i will one could see what one wanted to seq [ 18 NVthing extreme or nd yet not feel like a poor moth |¢louded bead covers, w! caught In the’distress cf blinding §l- lumination. We should think out lighting ar- rangements that give a mellow peace to our winter evenings, and perhaps cven save us expensive journeys to the oculist. Table lights give & room @ peaceful quality. With a arth fire they are ideal, and if a Touse or apartment has only eteam or hot-water heating, they are the eXt best thing to the cheering glow f burning logs. Do away wiih light-flooded ceiling . possible. Bedrooms for both men and women should have a shaded light near the bed on a small table. In 4 woman's room there should be ~a lght at cither end of a mirrored dressing ta- Lle, and & pleasantly shaded lamp on ‘her sewing table or. desk. In ad- dition to a well placed light over the chiffonfer, 2 man’s room should have n adjustable reading lamp placed wcar a comfortable reading chair, or he way prefer a portable light which bo hung on a wall, sercen, door, chair back, bed, or any other place needing a lght. Handsome and Serviceable. Lamp shades for real use must be able to disperse the light. and as this is seemingly their "office, it is surprising that many shades really shut out the light. Porcelain shades new shades for lamps and candles dre made of silk trimmed with beads. The beads are formed into & band to edge the shade at the top and bottom. heavy bead fringe 18 used and some ornament formed of beads decorates the sides of the Bhade, itself made of gathered silk. An- electric light may be beauti- fully incased in a shade constructed of long crystal beads, falling in_yard lengths around the lights, Thres electric bulbs, all together, may be sheded in this way and the lights be beautifully softened.

The flowers @nd leaves are cut out and pasted on @ foundation of heavy drawing paper the same shape and sise as the flow- org and leaves. This decoration may be used on a shade made of paper or fabric. Thin bolled starch or 1f- brary paste will fasten the decora- tions to & paper shade, but thin glue should be used to fasten them to silk or otherfabric such as chintz.

Jt is an easy matter to measure the frame covering, whether of silk or other material, and make it as desired.

After the puffing is gathered, it should | inch be quartered, pinned to the frame, then securely sewed o The puffiing at the top is made three times in fullness, and cut two and one-half inches wide. If the shade is made of silk, instead of finishing with puffing, it may be finished with old-fashioped fringed ruffles of the silk.

BEDTIME STORIES Aviator’s Great Surprise | The —Trader the Wood Rut The aviator and one other man were toy watch the first part of the night to try to catch/the thief, who had been #teallng parts from the airplane. Be- fore it was time for the moon to come I l i I > ' HE SAW A SMALL ANIMAL RUN OUT IN THE MOONLIGHT FROM UNDER THE AIRPLANE. up they hid where they could see all that went on, but where they them- selves would not be seen. When the moon finally came up it flooded with woft, silvery light the place where the airplane was, so that the two watch- ers could see almost as clearly as If it were daylight. For some time thev maw nothing, Then the aviator heard the scurry of small*feet and he saw a ¢mall animal Tun out in the moonlight from under the airplane. He saw him elimb up in the airplane. A moment or two later he jumped down, and something in_his moyth glittered in the moon- light. Then he disappearad. The aviator was puzzled. but did ni0t think much about it. For a while Jie saw nothing more. Then he saw this same’little animal, at least he supposed it was the same, climb up into the airplane again and a few miputes later run away With somes thing in his mouth. Ja a flash a sus: picion, a strong suspicion, took pos- aession of the aviator. He got to his feet quietly and went over to the airplane. He counted the little bolts that had been left there. Two were missing. Tf ever there was a surprised per- ron in all the great world it was that viator. There wasn't a doubt in his mind now ghat he had seen the thief. What under the sun any animal could want of screws and bolts he couldn’t imagine. But with his own liad seen two bolta carried aw: T didn't doubt that thege had gone o join all the other things that had disuppeared. He went over to the othor watcher and told' him what he had seen.

An Emergency Light—Put a piece of phosphorus the size of & large pew into a large bottle of clear glass Heat some olive oil to the bolling point, set the bottle in a pan of hot | water until thoroughly warmed, then ! pour the hot oil over the phosphorus, filling the bottle about one-third full. Cork tightly and leave until a light is needed, then open the bottle for a few minutes and the fresh air, rush- ing in, will fill the unoccupied space with a clear, luminous light. Recork the hottle and the light will continue clear for several days. When it be- gins to grow dim, let in fresh air and then recork. To Make a Candle Fit—Never trou- ble to shave down the end ‘of a can- dle that is too thick, for there is a et a lit- of the candle until the wax softens, then press it into the candlestick and hold a few seconds until it fis firmly. To Protect Electric Bulbs.—Befors cleaning your electric light bulbs, turn on the light and_they will not break no matter how fragile. To Protect Chinese Lanterns.—When using Chinese lanterns for festive oc- casions, put a few handfuls of sand in the bottom of the lantern around the candle. This keeps the lantern from swaying and also tends to pre= veyt it from taking fire. BY THORNTON W. BURGES to see if the thief would come back. He did in a very short time. Both saw him this time.

A child four vears old is ut a very interesting and important age. Any habits formed now will largely de- termine his health in later years. All children must have material for build- ing up the cells as they form in the body—food that will develop the dif- ferent parts or organs of the hody and food that will prepare the waste that comes from the ordinary activi- ties of every day. A four-year-old should have his meals planned somewhat like this: For breakfast, half of an orauze. sliced, five or six well-conked, puffy prunes, a slice of canned peach two tablespoons of baked apple with cream or apple sauce. A slice of toast with half a portion of butte: cup of milk and a slice of bacon three tablespoons of ce and sugar, or a poached eg.
