rest in.

"Poor thing, I'm sorry for

Beauty, art, decoration and utility
are major considerations in the selec-
ton Of portable lamps for reading
writing, sewing. game playing and other
pastimes Of the long Fall and Winter
evenings, points out the Electric League
Of Washington.
In the selection Of lamp, regard
less of the price which Is being paid for
1t, there are a few simple tests that are
worth remembering says the league.
Taste and knowledge as to the ultimate
location Of the lamp will dictate that 1t
be pleasing to the eye, both lighted and
unlighted. But If 1t is a lamp to be
used for reading, it should be tested to
see II 1t throws the light where 1t is
wanted. Open-top shades are most de-
sirable, because they allow part Of the
light TO go to the ceiling and thus illu-
inmate the room to some extent. It Is
not good for the eyes to read against
an entirely black background. The
shade OF your lamp should be large
enough to avoid scorching and deep
enough to completely hide the bare
lamps. In proper lighting. the aril-
lance Of the light source is not the
deciding element. The intensity Of the
Illumination on the book or work sur
face Is more important. Every lamp
shade should be light-colored inside and
not too highly colored outside.
1t is unwise to read or write or TO
use lamps when facing the light. When
this Is done the direct glare from the
lamp will strain the eyes Never read
or write in your own shadow. II you
are right-handed the lamp belongs at
your left.
Floor lamps should be placed slightly
behind and to one side of an easy chair,
so that the bare bulb will not meet
the line Of vision. OF course, there
should be lamp for every chair and
for each end Of the davenport.
These are only some Of the simple,
