wire li-namework covered with cretonne. Tlicsc are for sale in the fine housefnni- ishing shops and are very cxponsive in price; but the majority of thoiur seem to pruscnt few difficulties to the lioineworker, and would bc copied with very small ex- penditure.

One of tho newest and must attractive

of these lamp sliudcs is also one of tho easiest to make. The wire fmme is one of thc simple, round shapes, and costs about 35 cents. 'l`lic wires of this friune should first be covered ncntly, nud to do this silk souin binding, which comes at tcii cents a bolt, ciin be used vory con- veniently. The crm-tonne uscd for the cover should be of ratlior hcuvy quulity, and should have ia very well-covered du- sign ovci' a creanrcolorcd or tinted gi-uunki.

The iinpur-ted crctonncs showing rich

fruit and flower pntlcrns arc generally used for this purpose, but \vcl| rcpny the expenditure. The lamp shade referred to is made by cutting a circle of the crctonne about six inches larger than the outside of the wire frnine. An opening, or hole, ls tlicn cut in thc middle to fit nbout the top, or collur, of the shnilc. Gilt tnpi-s» try _braid or em-tonne fringe ls used as u finish, the braid being ciipeoinlly liked, ns it bus the advantage of being a novelty.

Especially in favor nrc tlioso crctnnncs

50 inches wide and of Elizabethan put- tern, the individual design of which is it carnntion about tliruc and a half inches across, combined with n conventional flowcr and nn irrogulnr ribbonlikc close vine effect on a plnin background. Home of the color sclivlni-s are ln\-onilur and soft old yellow, pale yellow, and di-lft blue, a deep red, n roncdn grocn.

A certain establishment rv-nowncd in this kind of work displays bedroom suits upholstered in 35~cerits-s-yard crctonncs, and they riipri-sent th\» vi.-ry lat:-st novelty in tho combining of cretonnc and wood. ln these sets the bed, dresser, cliiffonicr and tables, as well as the chairs, sofa and screen, aro upholstered in cretonne.

A new dressing buionu is almost en-

tirely covered in eretonne. It has a square mirror and two shallow drawers at either side. The front is hollowed out so that the user may approach nearer tthe mir- ror, which is not beveled at the edge. its

sides of thc burcuu and front of the draw- ers are covered with the erotonne, put on plain, and a pluited valance hangs below the drawers. The top of the bureau is oi plain enameled wood.. r

The ripple pnltcrns show spheres rung-

irig in size from one and s half to three inches, in miin_\' iilmilcs of red, crowding cnch other urnong green vines on a Wliito background.

Tuffofii, which belongs to the crctonne

family, is n \voi\vc which is used to intro- duce some of the dainticst mid st the some time the mont inexpensive hangings of the season. Plain tsffcta, usually of a cream or or-oom~white sbado, instead of being pluin, pmscnts n brocude surfucc of vcry tiny figures or dots. For this rc-nson it is espscinlly suitable for window drap- nries, a pleasing variation being made by adding on applique border of roses and vincsor any fiivorito flower cut from a patterned crotonne and applied to the goods. A clever woman can do this her- self.

A bedroom in a country house was up-

holstered in mauve crotonne, showing s whllc grouiid wi-il covered with a design of mauve orchids and tiny yellow prim- runes tied with narrow mnuvc ribbons which followod a continuous wuvy line all over the cictonnc, and thc window and door hnngings were of plain crctonne fin- ished with an applied border of mauve and yellow flowers, '

A white enameled bedroom suit was up~

holsterod in a crotiinrio which retails at 35 ccnts a ynnl and which is known as the rose block pntta-rn. On n white background is shown an oblong block pattern, each block being about night by aevon inches, nnil is outlined by n onc-ir\ch~wlde vine of grocn li-lives shndlng from s pall-at rose green to n bronze.
