The unbecomingness Of glaring
lights. 20 which Or. Luckeish alludes
somewhat facetiously. is too well
known TO require comment but it is
only gradually being realized that
harsh lights are as unbecoming TO
home furnishing as 20 the human
beings who live among them. and
that the effect Of an artistlcaliy fur
nished interior may be practically
ruined bv incorrect lighting. whereas
even a commonplace room can be
made attractive by cleverly placed
and carefully shaded lights.
This fact Is the basis OF the new
tendency in home lighting now I'm
