These are fastened and perforated at the same time witha large needle over a small cushion of sand or emery. The colorscreen is then inserted between the blanks and the latter arebound together with ribbons. Another pretty effect may be ob-tained by using two blanks of white Bristol board, without anyperforation, and instead of the color screen, place between thesheets some pressed flowers, leaves, grasses, or the like.—5ANOTHER METHOD OF MAKING METAL LAMP SHADES Lamp shades, electric-light shade
