LIGHT FOR MODERN HOMES
Invention Provides Novelties that Are
Fast Becoming Necessities.
ELECTRICITY PERMITS ELEGANCE, coMFoR'
Many New and Beautiful Designs
that Combine Features Familiar
Enough with the Utmost
Advance of Science.

In this generation of show and changing
fashion 1t is no uncommon thing for a
home to be renovated. or even remodeled
every few years. and this process has in
cluded everything from tearing out par
titions and putting in new wood work to
redecorating walls and hanging new
draperies. 1t has been on such occasions
usually that people have come to find their
decorations a little passe-even those that
are supposed to be reasonably permanent
and so one substitution has necessitated
another. Until comparatively recently,
however the light fixtures have escaped
molestation, but the Improvement in
lighting appliances has afforded an ex-
cuse for radical changes Of style and 50
many a handsome fixture has been sacri-
feed to make place for more modern
substitute.
The substitution of gas for the oil lamp
brought the first radical change and the
introduction of electricity occasioned the
combination fixtures, which are generally
employed now in the best equipped houses.
Among the newer things. however, cleo
tricity more than gas seems to be taken
| into account and the show rooms are
hung close with an almost bewildering
| variety of fixtures in styles many of which
depart widely from the familiar generali-
| ties Of those that have prevailed.
But there Is something more than fad
| In the changing fashions of light fixtures,
1t is only since electricity has come 80
generally into use for Illuminating pur-
poses that it has been possible to obtain
the best result and effects through the
position and diffusion of light and as the
use of electricity has practically revolu-
tionized lighting, a noticeable change In
light fixtures is but natural consequences.
But these newer appliances in their con-
struction and style must still harmonize
with the style OF the apartment In which
they are used. while the material and finish
is largely determined by the prevailing
fashion.
