" ;" Silk Shades Give a Soft Glow THERE is subtility in the light that glows through a silk shade, and many decorators are using them for the room that! needs the softness of plaited folds and the mellowness obtained by placing two tones of fabric one over the other. Two tones of China silk, one to be used for a plain lining and the other for a gathered outside covering will make an attractive shade. Before you buy the material ma-terial it is best to experiment with samples one over the other trying them both in daylight and over an artificial light. You will also need a roll of silk binding tape matching the top color of the shade. This tape is to wrap the wire frame. And fancy braid either ei-ther in gold, silver or a harmonizing harmoniz-ing tone of silk is used to bind the top and bottom of the shade. Use cotton thread to match the outside out-side tone of the silk. Slip the binding tape off the roll and wrap a rubber band around it as shown here at A. Working from the inside end of the tape wrap the frame as shown at B. The outside layer of silk is put on next. This is gathered both top and bottom and pinned to the wire covering as at C and D so that it is stretched quite tight. Joinings in the outside covering need not be sewed but may be hidden under un-der the folds. This material is sewed in place as at E. Next, cut a straight strip for the lining and fit it around the outside out-side of the frame as shown here at F. Trim the joining allowing a seam as shown at G. Sew to the frame at the bottom as at H. Trim quite close at the bottom. Turn lining to inside as at I. Slip stitch the joining. Turn in raw edges at top and whip around top of frame. Pin the binding around and then sew it with stitches buried in the mesh of the braid. Every Homemaker should have a copy of Mrs. Spears' new book, SEWING.
