appliances for the home.
The new company occupies = mod
ern three-story building with spacious
show rooms on the first floor, light
and airy stock rooms on the second
floor and Offices of the company on

During the opening week, the show
rooms were elaborately decorated
with floral pieces upon which beauti-
ful electric light effects were played.
The trimmings and show cases In the
first floor show rooms are finished in
mahogany and contain practically
every known modern electrical appli-
ance for the household. with some

Task of Illuminating Rooms Is

"H0rSe SenSe.'

Artificial lighting in the home, a
subject which embraces both the light
and the fixtures, must be considered
both with refernce to the physical
comfort and conveniences offered by
proper lighting and with regard to
the decorative results. The task of
arranging the lighting of room is
generally admitted to be a delicate
one demanding discretion.
Bad lighting-with regard to both
the illumination and the fiXtures-is
considered and yet is more common
excusable and yet is more common
than it should be when it is recalled
lighting problems can best be solved
by the application of plain horse

What to do and what not to do
can be settled by a few simple prin-
eiples that anyone having ordinary
Intelligence can apply, say lighting
vided into two parts:
Fixed lighting, whose arrangement
constitutes a part of the fixed decora-
tions and Is architectural rather THAN
otherwise (although a proper consist
ency must be observed between light
ing fixtures and furniture) and
Portable lighting, which belongs
wholly to the realm of furnishing.
Whether the lights be fixed or port
able, certain general principles should
be borne in mind. Under ordinary CIR
cumstances a blazing glare Is both
ugly and painful to the eye. not to
say anything of its disastrous et-
feet on the aspect Of a room, no mat

Many subdued lights are to be in

glow of numerous mellower lights IN

kindly to the furnishings.
various methods of indirect light
ing, devised to eliminate glare and
secure diffusion, are found undesir-
able by many householders because
they throw most OF the light to the
ceiling. Most people are said to IA
