NANCY PAGE Lois Makes an Accordion- ‘ Pleated Paper Shade BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Lois was trying to fix up the guest| room for a friend who was passing through town and stopping overnight | lY. the Millers’ home. She looked at her guest room with critical eye and decided at once she would have to make a new lamp shade. She took off the old covering, measured the circumfer- ence of the lower ring on the frame. She used a piece of string, then measured its length on a yardstick. She planned a shade of manila paper. Because she was using shallow pleats she doubled the measure of the ofrcum. ference. Had she been planning deep pleats she would have tripled the length of the circumference. She cut the shade three inchés deeper than the distance between top and bottem ting as measured on one of the wire con- necting spokes. She planned no decoration on the outside of shade, but lanned to ol it on the inside with iled linseed oil. She knew she should do_this after the pleats were laid. = She measured the les ‘which now is known as width of shade. The width of paper is now known as depth of shade. The first fold was made lengthwise of paper in the mid- dle. Each half is folded se] tely. She folded each half into halves, each one of these into halves and so on until the width of fold was about two inches. She made all folds '!‘o the same way and creased them with the flat edge of a paper cutter to make them lie flat. When the shade was entirely pleated he reversed it and then folded each two-inch section into halves. These pleats reversed the previous ones, 5o the finished shade looked accordion pleated. She measured down one inch from top, also three inches from top PLEATED SHADES and marked the places on_the edge of each fold. She punched holes at the back of each pleat or fold. The one within an inch of the top gave the top ring of frame a place to cling. A cord or ribbon was run through holes three inches from the top. Before this was put in, the shade was oiled and dried. Then the seam was pasted and spoonfuls of vinegar. Blind well, | then whip In one cu;’lrl of thick, sour | cream. Serve very, cold on salad. BRAND NEW ONLY Special Sale!

If she is skinny, he says that when it comes to figures she | has all these flappers left at the post. If she acquires a feather-bed figure, he calls her plump and says none of your living skeletons for him. He likes a good armful. He always notices her clothes and the way she does her hair and tells her | makes_her Jook like her own granddaughter or that that | little curl on the nape of her neck caught him.

He doesn’t throw mother’s biscuits in her teeth. He | tells her her own are the best ever and he boasts to his friends and acquaintances | about what a marvelous manager she is and how she pinches every nickel until | she makes the buffalo howl in agony. | He is liberal about money and never asks: “What did you do with that And when she wants a new hat he doesn't cry out in agony: “My heavens, woman, have you got a dozen heads to cover? Why, you have already had seven this season.” | Ah, no, a woman's ideal husband says: “Why, certainly, darling, I simply adore seeing you in new hats. I saw some lovely ones in a store window marked | only $35 aplece.” And when the wife comes home late from a bridge party bringing ip & dab or two of something she has picked up at & delicatessen on | for her like a sore-headed bear | Far from it. A woman’s ideal man would have busled himself giving the | house a good cleaning and hanging up the clothes his wife didn’t have time for because she was in such a hurry to meet Jenny downtown and have lunch with her before they went to the bridge game. And he would have got a nice | dinner ready for her and met her with a glad, sweet smile and told her that he realized, of course, that wives had to have diversion. A woman's ideal husband would call her temper nerves and would know that the reason she flew into rages was just because she was so high strung and temperamental and that the way to deal with her was just to let her have her own way in everything and be tactful and never do anything that irri- SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y.

The great proclamation of Easter is “Christ is risen!” What does that mean to us? What does it mean to the race? It means the triumph of life over death. We look upon death as the arch enemy of mankind. We have seen death dig a trench across the hemispheres and fill it with the car~ casses of nations. We have seen dc¢a digging graves over the whole face of the eal and filling them with one generation after another. Death has reigned over the race as a monster monarch; his palace is a sepulcher; his fountains the falling tears of a world. But in the light of Easter we see his scepter broken, his palace demolished, and the hour coming when all who are in their graves shall come forth, Christ is risen—"the first fruits of them that sleep.” In the light of Easter the world be- comes beautiful. It is not the place of sealed tombs; it is a place of tombs the seals whereof are broken. It is not the city of the dead; it is the city of God, through which flows the river of life, the streams wi f m glad the inhabitants therein. It is a portal of paradise instead of a place of sepul- chers, and there is a light upon it every Easter morning such as never was before on seas or land until Christ had risen from the grave.

She threatened me with dismissal. I still refused. If she asked me politely to pick up the pin I should, of course, have done so. She was a much older woman than I But her order was g0 rude that I couldn’t obey it. Now, why did we have this huge row over such a trifle? She was a sensible and able woman, though harsh and hot tempered. I was a sensible enough girl, though also quick tempered. But the fact was that away down deep we did not like each other. She thougkt I was insolent and I thought she was a tyrant. We were two strong wills that could not live in the same department. One of us had to go.

That deep disagreement is, I think, the answer to the letter which has just come from & girl who works for the United States Government—an un- signed letter. It seems to me that the case as told in her letter is quite hope- less. ““Not long ago I made a remark to a friend, at least I thought she was a friend. She had told me some very un- kind things about one of our chiefs. To hurt him, not to hurt me, she made a lot of talk out of what I said.
