ordered unfinished at the local carpen-
ter's or even fashioned by home talent.
Also, 1t is difficult to find ready-made
cornices that harmonic with the fur
nishings Of the room. but those made
to order can always be painted or
stained in the desired color and then
given an additional touch of decora-
ton in the way Of stripping or stem
cling.
The construction is very simple. Draw
your pattern for the front, which may
be merely a straight piece or elaborated
into points and curves, and after cut
ting out the design from wood or wall
board fasten each end to a wood block.
In figuring out the length, be sure TO
add the width of the castings on each
side of the windows to the width Of
the sash. The height of the cornice
will vary from to 10 inches or more,
depending on its length and width.
When decorated, the completed cornice
Is secured to the window casing with
metal corner pieces.
Usually the wall, as we'll as the cur
tain, supplies the color cue. In a bed
room where the wall is shell pink and
fabric, cornices with a background of
pink and stripping or stenciling in blue
will carry out the color scheme very
pleasingly. Stippling and antiquing
also suggest possibilities for interest
ing color treatment. In q formal liv-
ing room where the woodwork Is
stained cornices finished to match will
look well, particularly when the cur
tainS are heavy and rich in color.

ROOM That day has passed.
In most homes today there are places
for from three TO five lamps, each
beautiful and useful in its place. Every
easy chair demands It's reading lamp
For writing and for conversation, the
floor or table lamp is equally indis-
pensable.
While central lighting is still useful
at times, the old style of indirect light
which flooded the unimportant ceiling
with brilliant glare and left the useful
portion of the room in dim shadows has
disappeared save in railway stations.
Care of Eyesight.
It is essential that proper care of the
eyes be regarded. The baby lying fiat
on his back often suffers from an I'M
shaded light; so does the school girl or
boy who plays in semi-darkness, or
crouches over the text books.
In choosing lamp shades, there Is a
choice of textiles, parchment or glass.
which translate harsh raw light into
real illumination. Shades should be
deep enough to hide the light bulb.
and to throw the light where it Is
needed. Intense colors prevent light
from sitting through, so the best shades
are in pale hues. Red, green and blue
absorb most of the light rays, and dis
tort the appearance of a room at night,
and are to be avoided. Glowing coiors
which simulate sunlight are best. Light
f~aiYa ali fof1
The lamp for the easy chair may be
placed on an adjoining table, with espe-
cial care to see that the right height
for reading is achieved-the light fall
ing on the book and never in the eyes.
The spread of the shade will also affect
the angle of the rays.
Desk lamps should be placed on the
left side to avoid shadows which would
be thrown by the right hand, upon the
paper. Secretary desks which are to be
closed may be lighted by a bridge or
other floor lamp.
Other Rules Given.
Sofas, davenports and daybeds placed
against a wall are best lighted by lamps
at each end, and slightly behind the
furniture. If the divan is in the center
of the room, a table lamp behind it
serves quite nicely.
At the vanity, be sure that the light
is thrown on the face-not into the
mirror. Twin lamps at either side will
eliminate shadows. Shades, preferably
Of no strong color, should be level with
the face.
Reading lamps for the bed may be
attached to that piece Of furniture, may
be on the wall behind it, or may rest
on the nightstand. They should be
high enough to give proper light for
night reading.

HEIGHT BEST GUIDE
IN CURTAIN DESIGN
Tall, Narrow Windows Gain
Breadth From Figured or
Looped Fabrics.

T VOW to finish curtains at the
- top is often as difficult to de-
eide as what materials to use.
The best guide is the height
and breadth of the window. If, for
instance. the windows are unusually
wide, striped material gathered on a
slender rod will prevent the room from
appearing "squatty." Tall, narrow win
dows gain breadth from figured fabrics
or plain ones Topped back. A deep va
lance also gives breadth to this type
of window. Those who look upon va
lances as dust oatchers frequently use
cornices of wood or wallboard, as these
pieces can easily be kept clean with
a damp cloth.
Although rather expensive to buy al
ready finished, window cornices can be

for them, was blown out of her
