body One would not think Of having jang
ling set Of bells constantly sounding In her
home for this would soon set the nerves on
edge, yet the same people who are sensitive TO
such things do not realize that the present
style OF decorating an apartment has the same
effect on the nerves of the eyes as the bells
would produce on the nervous system through
different senses.
Before going into the details of decorating
a home in sane and soothing manner, turn
minute to the streets. This is period OF
fast moving persons, cars and automobiles
Since the days Of the horse drawn vehicle and
the entrance OF the automobile the vibrations
caused by movement in front OF the eyes is
greatly increased the nerves are strained to
a high pitch and nothing is done to relieve
this In fact the condition is irritsted. On
the street a hat with brm wide enough to
shade the eyes should be worn. Wells with
dots and figures in them should be laid aside.
Two handkerchiefs should be carried, one for
the nostrils and the other for the eyes, as many
cases Of serious infection have occurred by
rubbing the eyes with the hand, glove or hand
kerchief that has come in contact with some
article handled by person whose eyes are
bad.
The habit OF reading in cars is very in
furious, especially when the car is passing un-
der a street structure where the light comes
brokenly in. first streak Of sunshine and
then shade.
Reading in the artificial light of the sub
ways is injurious.
Everything is highly glazed to-day, throw
ing out strong rays and producing heavy VI
braton OF the optic nerves. Automobiles, shop
windows and streetcars produce these vibra-
tons, and ii is best not to try to see too much
on the streets, but to try resting the eyes as
much as possible.
Taking this long day OF outdoor strain on
the eyes, people find little rest In their homes.
and the fad that has existed for some time now
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-11-14

of using bright colors, stripes, checks and
spotted materials for home decoration is de-
cidedly injurious.
"Al day long the eyes have been kept
strained to a high tension, and the home
should be a place for them to rest. This is
impossible, however with the furnishings that
exist in the majority of the apartments
There are certain kinds of wallpapers that
are now being used that should never be put
on wall, no matter how large the house, and
certainly not on an apartment where all OF the
rooms are in constant use. Striped paper is
confusing dark blue or black and white stripes
are nerve-racking and firing, papers with
dark ground and brilliant figures especially
difficult and the modern papers with tumble
of coloring in reds, browns, green's and vivid
blues keep the nerves of the eyes at a high
strain.
The result of this eye strain is frequently
felt in headaches, nausea and extreme nervous
ness, and still people will continue to use just
the things that produce this result
Going from the wallp pering to the up
holstery, there are being used chintzes for
sofa pillows and coverings that are distinctly
striped black and white On this ground are
flowers in pink and red, on another pattern
are black and white checks with flowers, and
others have large orange splashes on dark
ground. Though all of these are injurious 10
the eyes, they used even in bedrooms,
where the tone should be kept soft, restful and
subdued.
This same character Of pattern is used for
window curtains and door draperes. table
covers and lamp shades. The effect on the
eyes is very, very bad.
Lighting is another fault with the modern
home Brilliant glass shades of varied oolors
should not be used. Electric lights should
have frosted bulbs, and, If possible, soft col
ored shade, inverted, that will throw diff
fused light in the room

Of the conflict and the material consequences
