eye, we have a right to feel content. 
In the living-room, library and music- 
room, or wherever reading, writing, sew¬ 
ing, etc. are to be done, table lamps, wall 
brackets, or piano lamps must he pro¬ 
vided. I would at this point recall your 
attention to the illustrations accompany¬ 
ing this article. The bronze piano lamp 
and wall brackets in the Late Georgian 
room are exquisitely moulded in con¬ 
formity with the severely Classic style 
and, on account of the light color tones 
of the decorations, furnish sufficient 
light for all ordinary occasions. Their 
brightness is supplemented when desired 
by a dome light in the ceiling. In high- 
ceilinged rooms wall brackets are at 
best a subsidiary and wasteful method 
of illumination. On account of their 
closeness to the wall, a large proportion 
of their light is absorbed by the surface 
nearly parallel to many of their rays. 
But in a low room, where they conse¬ 
quently come near the ceiling, with 
its reflecting aid they light a small 
interior unassisted, if set well out into 
the room, and admirably supplement the 
central ceiling-light in a large interior. 
T he most complete and economical 
distribution of light is obtained by the 
use of many small units pendant from 
the ceiling, at the height calculated to 
secure the best diffusion from ceiling 
and walls. This method is popular 
among the decorative artists of Ger¬ 
many, who usually frame the bulbs in 
rectangular boxes open above and below, 
at the ? same time frosting the tips of the 
bulbs. Hooding the clustered lights on 
chandelier and wall bracket in crystals 
of cut glass secures most attractive re¬ 
sults, hut with great waste of light. 
SUGGESTIONS FOR THE MONTH 
(Continued from page 159-) 
THE HOUSE 
simply and where there is a pleas¬ 
ant outlook make much of it. The 
pictures framed by the windows are 
oftentimes as valuable, even from the 
standpoint of decoration, as those which 
are painted and hung upon the walls. 
Plain bordered net makes a good white 
curtain, especially when heavier inner 
curtains are used, for it merely softens 
the light without obstructing the views. 
Attention may also be drawn at this 
time to the value of built-in furniture. 
A cushioned window-seat, or a high back
