Some one has said that the home is
the theatre of life. and as the intent
and significance of the drama is inter
preted quite as much in the scenery
as in the spoken and acted word, so is
it possible to put into tangible form
in the furnishings of the home the eX-
preston of love and sentiment on
which family life is founded, and this
without being in the least stacy.
The hall serves as more than a mere
entrance into the house. 1t is an in
dex to the personality of the home
and needs careful thought in its color
and arrangement to give the right i'm
preston. The shaded lamp on the
console table, reflected into the mirror
behind it, will say pleasant welcome.
Doesn't the very name living room
carry with it a sense of reality, whole
someness and unity of the family?
This is the gathering place in the
modern home, and its guests cannot
help but feel that the hospitality
offered is of the highest kind, that of
welcome into the family circle. Per
haps some of us are shy of expressing
our sentiment in words, but in home
making we can translate it in a
very understandable way through the
medium of the furnishings and fittings
Of the home.
All of this to emphasize the need OF
careful selection of settings. for the
room in which are staged most of the
scenes of the important drama OF
family life, and from which our guests

Did you know that there is very
exact science of color, and those lin
the know" have found by practical eX-
periments that certain colors produce
certain definite impressions, some
pleasant and some unpleasant even to
the extent of making one ill? SO color
com mbiDations for the living room must
have careful study. For a fascinating
diversion, | would recommend delying
into this science of color to the woman
whose ideal is an artistcally beautiful
home
Light and color are so closely llar-
monized. and so much Of the time the
family spends together is under artifi-
cial light, that the lighting of the home
assumes an importance scarcely Sec
ondary to color. With modern light
! ing fixtures, such variety of effects
are possible that the mood of the room
can be changed to suit the occasion,
and one wonders why so many families
endure the same monotonOus lighting
effects three hundred and siXty-tive
evenings in the year.
For reading, or the quiet evening at
home, the floor or table standards
| (ftted with direct and indirect system
combination) throw the direct light to

shed honey glow over the balance of
