Lois saw some new Jlamp shades downtown which she planned to dupli- . They were done in the softest shade of green taffeta. The frame was | covered in the usual tailored fashion,so | that all wires were hidden. Then a full overskirt with three rows of shirring at the top and with picoted edge, both top and bottom, was fas- tened to top rim of frame. The skirt was made about an inch longer than wire shade. Narrow ribbcn covered the lace where skirt was sewed to silk- ined frame. This ribbon was looped and fell casually from bowknot. The skirt had a floral spray, Vic- torian in feeling, embroidered in yarn, using fine yarn in soft colors. Lazy daisy, French knots and outline stitch were used. yarn embroidery was done in an unframed medallion effect in the lower center front of the shade. Other shades which were Victorian in feeling called for a drapery of crys- tal beads strung and festooned over a white taffeta shade. Lois saw one lamp which had row after row of these fes- toons, but she liked the simpler one the better. Many were empire in style and called for tightly stretched shades of parch- ment. Some of these had festoohs, as of draped silk, painted on them. Others were painted or banded with narrow gilt paper to resemble the lacing of & drum. In all cases, even with the white shades, the lining material or the lining painting was in a soft pink shade. The effect was softer and bet- ter when the lamp was lighted. But, as Lois observed, the pink had to be so faint is was scarcely noticeable. curtains you want to make. eaflet on making them.

The more our psychologists study crime, the less important grows the theory that there is & “criminal type.” From the scientific point of view, under- slung jaws, narrow space between the eyes, and most of the other physical traits which Lombroso (the Italian criminologist of the past generation) called attention to, are bel thrown into the discard of exploded theories. Indirectly, and more or less acci- dentally, the popular magazines on crime are teaching their readers valuable lessons. One thing in particular stands out in the final analysis of criminal motives. That thing is money. It fhight be well for our detectives to start out with the following questions: Who has money? Who hasn’t money and needs it? Who has figured out how to get money from wrom? The money angle, once determined, may lead to the clue of crime detection. If there is a criminal type, that type is known in terms of character rather than physique. In the first place criminals are to a certain extent clever. In the second place they are weak. Combining their shallow cleverness with tbeir weakness for gain without labor, they come in time to enter upon criminal careers. And nearly all of them are careerists, ie, have made crime their life work. These careers revecl stories of dif- ferential gain without effort. MENU-FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST.

NATURE’S CHILDREN BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. Illustrations by Mary Foley. CXXTIL PRAYING MANTIDS. < Mantidae Family. IVEN a good name, a convincing pose has hidden the true| neture of this creature for years. Only thoss who have seen her cruel actions are con- vinced she is the heartless wretch that she is. Sitting in a leafy bower, where the ! insect life is most abundant, this prayer- | ful looking insect awaits her victims.| With her eyes turned to heaven and her long arms folded as if in prayer, she holds her head in a listening way. You gaze upon this strange looking in- s2ct and wonder if those human-like eyes really see you. Long, tulle-like wings float behind her | like a veil. The strong legs are rather, hidden and the knives and stilleto points of the front feet are not seen at first. Her head moves on & long neck. | The feelers look more like slender wands as they wave about. You feel rather creepy as you stand and watch her. Then a big nectar- laden bee buzzes by. You are just in time to see the real nature of this wicked female. With quickness beyond your own sight she has raised herself to a great height on her long legs. The arms reached out and the bee was em- | paneled upon the most cruel blades you ever saw. They were arranged so tha those of the second row fitted into thf space of the first row. The more the victim struggled the more deeply the | knives cut into his flesh. " She sucked his blood and sipped the nectar, then tossed the empty body aside. Nearby a katydid betrayed her pres- ence. The mantid moved slightly. The insect of green moved closer to inspect this wise looking creature and her earthly existence was a matter of sec- onds. Later T discovered she made a most beautiful brown varnished home for her many bables. She had a clever egg- beater apparatus on the tip of her body. She would insert this in & bubble of fluid which she produced and foon the bubble had grown into something which resembled the icing on a cake. While she whipped the bubbles into foam she placed her eggs in the spaces of air her whip had collected. Each egg faced an exit, too. The following Spring tiny little man- tids, wrapped in their swaddling clothes, wriggled out of the too-crowded nursery. After much effort on their part they struggled out of the nighty. The death rate is very high among the mantid bables. - The ants and lizards are re- sponsible for this. | ‘The devil's rear horse is in keeping with her disposition. She consumes her husband on their wedding night, deserts her children, and if nothing better is in sight for dinner she eats her sisters, brothers and any relative who is with- in her reach. | (Copyright. 1931.)
