LET'S TALK ABOUT HOME
LIGHTING

Many rooms are dark and
gloomy, not because they aren't
attractively furnished, but simply
because they aren't light enough.
1t is through light that we see. 1t
Is light that gives color to every
thing around us. Light is the first
essential of decorating. Yet up
and down the streets of this coun-
try, house after house seems din
gy merely for the lack of proper
lamps.
And, OF course, light has another
role besides that OF decorative
cheer. Correct lighting bears a
definite relationship to good eye
sight, and that in turn has a great
deal to do with good dispositions.
II all your family fights for the
same chair in the living room, the
chances are that you had better
look to see how the other chairs
In the room are lighted.
The average living room needs
at least five lamps, and any old
lamp won't do. In checking your
lighting make sure Of these points:
1. Quantity: Are there enough
lamps and adequate wattage
In each?
:. Distribution: Is there . pleas
ing balance of light, with .
high enough level Of general
illumination to avoid the eye
strain of sharp contrasts!
:. Quality: Is glare eliminated
by lamps at proper levels
with reflectors and adequate
ohadesf
I. Style: Do the fixtures, port
able lamp bases and shades
harmonixe with the color ana
