The University Of Michigan's

that with all Of our inventions
for getting flowers and shrubbery

homes, it might be a good idea
to include some healthy daylight.
T To prove that his was no

Boyd, director of the laboratory,
built himself a house in Ann
Arbor. Mich. He calls it a house
without dark corners.
He turned the trick by using
a maximum of the newest in
ventions in glass. including pris-
matte glass block skylights de-
signed to reject glare and heat
from the summer sun and to adj
init more light and warmth from
the lower winter sun.
Skylighting the inner reaches
of the house, says DR.. Boyd,
cancels the contrast of concen-
trated window light.
Looking at a brightness area

No art is more true than the

of portrait photographs in the
home is, of course. not peculiarly
American, but is a part of the
national tradition in every part
of the modern world.
When houses and rooms be-

showing portrait photographs
was somewhat of a problem But
today, as homes grow larger,
they are being featured more
extensively.
There was a time when one
had to be satisfied with photo
graphs in black and white or
hues of brown which did not
add particular beauty to a room
Today the homemaker can have
favorite family photographs in
full color, attractively framed,
to create or blend with the color
scheme and give a large meas
ure of enduring warmth and
friendlineSs to the room in
which they are hung.
In the living room illustrated,
the large portrait photograph of
the young mistress of the house,
in colors blending with the over
all color scheme, provides a
striking wall decoration and
lends d note of intimacy to the
otherwise formal theme. The
