TWO-WAY LIGHT
FROM NEW FIXTURES

Dual-action lamps that give both
an indirect and downward light are
important news. And the old-fash-
ioned goose-neck lamp is up to new
tricks. Their double-sWivel shades
can be twisted to throw light in any
direction and can also be shifted to
any height.
For those who are building or
remodeling their homes, the en-
gineers have a special ford of ad-
vice. Built-in lights are not the
luxury that they once were. The
budget for recessed lights can be
as low as one and a half per cent
of the building cost. And built-in
lights are the most efficient type
possible for kitchens-and dressing
rooms. Recessed lighting arrange
ments on either side of dressing
table, unlike the usual boudoir lamp,
do not light the mirror but the per-
son before it, thus eliminating dis
figuring shadows and making it pos
sible for milady to see how she really
looks.

vegetable garden as well as else
where, and make it more livable.
The other feature of vegetable
gardening which makes it hobby
instead of a job is the quality which
can be grown with little careful
work and selection. Many of us
look forward to the months when
we can get tomatoes in season, be-
cause they are SO much better. But
tomatoes grown in your own garden
and taken from the vine only when
they are ripe are half better. This
is even more true of sweet corn and
peas, and even string beans de-
teriorate much in few days on the
way to market.
Garden fresh vegetables are re-
served for the amateur who grows
them, and can gather supply an
hour before mealtime. Modern
methods of storage and refrigera-
ton have improved the market
vegetables immeasurably, but it still
takes many hours or days to get
them ready for the table, during
which time they lose much of their
sweetness and healthful qualities.
On the other hand, the housewife
can purchase only the standard
and time-tried varieties on the
market, whereas if she grows them
herself, she has the choice of hun
dreds of types and varieties to fit
in with her garden conditions and
her fancy, and always have the new
est and the best.

cept some compromises, for it is al
most safe bet that all of the fea-
lures you want will not be avail
able within the price limit you set
for yourself. After construction

In almost any construction, to-
day, wood plays an important part.
Frame construction, finished with
clappboards or with shingles or
stucco, or veneered with brick or
stone. is popular. Points that should
be watched in frame construction
include bridging" between floor
ioists and wall studs, the use of
simple truss over wide openings to
prevent sagging, and the use OF
building paper between the sheath
ing and outside wall. Insulating
material should be applied at this
stage, and the passages between
studs should be closed with some
nonimflamable material. The selec-
ton of good quality wood is, of
course, of utmost Importance in all

Where door and window openings

to be reduced by the metal lath

designs.
New wall finishes come in for at

makes il possible to develop many
distinctive interiors. kitchens, bath

most attractive when finished in

developed during recent years. how

flying none the less, and makes the
hobby more interesting.
We think of flower growing, or
photography more often as hobbies
They seem to have an esthetic quail
ity entirely apart from the neces-
sites of life. and by indulging in
them, we feel we are getting spirit
ual benefits which we would not
ordinarily get in the general run OF
things. The fact that we eat the
vegetables we grow may dampen the
work instead of pleasure.
But, the real gardener never
thinks of this. He knows that there
is as much beauty in orderly rows of
green and yellow vegetables as in
flowers. Beauty in plants is a rela-
tive thing. All plants bloom when
they come to maturity. Dahlia roots
are good to eat when properly cook
ed, but We never grow them for that
purpose, because, We have other
roots in the vegetable garden which
we like better. Why then should We
say that the brilliant green foliage
of carrots or the tender leaves of
lettuce are not beautiful?
Designing vegetable garden
should be as important as your

comfortable place to work in and
play. Make use of flowers as bor-
ders and accepts, trim the paths
and keep the rows clean and
straight. Pools, bird baths, arbors

Planning a home is popular
pastime. People of every age and
occupation are apt to indulge in it,
and the results of planning are
seldom the same. Preferences in
architectural style differ, require
ments for living and entertaining
differ, expenditures differ. Never
theless, certain principles underly-
ing good construction should always
be observed, regardless of cost limits
or personal preference as to style
and decoration. These principles
extend through the entire process
of planning and building, and are
briefly outlined here.
It's safe 10 pan your home your
self as long as you call in a
competent architect before actual
construction begins! But don't
rely on your own Judgment to see
you through the actual building!
