VEIL. Placed FINELY FRAMED REFLECTS
ACCURATELY \ DECORATIVE ASSET A

Since mirrors are such features in
interior decoration, it is well to know
the distinguishing elements of the
best sort and how to Judge them cor
reCtly. 1t is only when mirrors are
good that they reflect pleasantly. In
saying this | am not including the
concaVe and convex looking glasses,
which arc meant to diminish, enlarge
or amusinEly distort what they re-
feet. Such mirrors are in a class
hy themselves. They are feats in
mirror making. Their popularity
tlOuriShcd some years ago rather than
now, though the antiques arc highly
priced. The shape is seldom any
thing hut round. The gold frames arc
handsome parts of their decorative
value. Such glasses are effective
when hung over colonial mantelpieccs
or in wall spaces where the size and
shape of a mirror accent the beauty
~ the wall, rather than where reflec-
lions bring out the beauty or spacious
ness of rooms and viStas, as is the
case with regulation mirrors.
Three Tests OF Mirrors.
Three tests of mirrors are these:
THE perfection Of the glass itself, its
thickness and the correctness with
which 1t reflects color rays. The glass
should be without flaws Nowhere
should there be the slightest uneven
pess or the minuteSt SpeCk These are
frequently found in inferior grade
mirrors, and are not always detected
when buying furniture in which mir
rors are included. such as bureaus
dressing tables etc Too often the
Ytyle Of the furniture is the engross-
ing consideration rather than details,
Fuch as the grade Of the mirrors.
which may come as something of
surprise when tho articles are placed
In the homes. Perhaps the surprise
IS agreeable. but to insure satisfaction
IT, Is wise to test tho looking glasses.
Ono OF the simplest and surest tests
Nf tho thickness of looking glass is to
place the foretinger against the glass
in different places. Notice the dis
tancc between the tips Of the finger
end the beginning Of the reflection.
II you seem to touch the finger re-
Elected, the glass is very thin; if there
IS a decided space between, then the
glass is the thickness of this distance.
Put the glass to this test in several
parts and the even thickness can be
detected. If there is any extensive and
pronounced variation in the thickness
of the glass, it will be noticeable in
slight distortions and irregularities of
the reflections of everything pictured
in It, A thick glass gives a perfection
Of line and contour and Il charm to
reflections.
Color Reflections.
Correct color reflection are of in.
estimable value. To assure yourself
of this element, when testing a mir

of your finger when lightly pressed
