a dust pocket, without leaving sufficient 
room to remove the dirt. The shower 
sink at the top of page 38 should be low¬ 
ered to the level of the floor or built up 
around it, because it will, as it now stands, 
accumulate dirt. 
Do not forget that what was satisfactory 
plumbing twenty-five years ago would not 
be considered to-day and that the best we 
have to-day will be none too good for to¬ 
morrow. This is one department of house 
building where it pays to do it correctly 
in the beginning and save money and get 
better satisfaction ever afterwards.

blocks and paints them with white cement- 
stain. 
To sum up: 
1. Compact and careful planning. 
2. Stock sizes. 
3. Simplicity. 
4. Local material. 
By paying proper attention to these four 
things, and getting proper professional ad¬ 
vice, you can reduce the cost of your home 
more than a little; but don’t try chasing 
elusive and illusive rainbows, as so many 
folk do! 
The Vital Functions of .Light in 
the Home 
(Continued from page 28) 
Nervous prostration, lack of literary in¬ 
spiration, and insomnia may be relieved, 
restored, and cured by the proper treat¬ 
ment of light and color. 
To-day the lighting of the office is 
harsh, white and cold. Why let the light 
of the home suggest to the mind of the 
tired business man working conditions? 
This subject of psychology is irrevoca¬ 
bly linked with artificial light, particularly 
in the home — which is the theatre of life. 
Once a dramatist, more daring than his 
fellows, staged a play. It dealt with the 
psychology of light. The critics read the 
manuscript and predicted failure. As 
usual the public decided. It was a wonder¬ 
ful success. Night after night thousands 
sat spellbound under the psychological in¬ 
fluence of light. The “illuminating engi¬ 
neer” was not in evidence. Possibly he 
was asleep in the gallery. 
The following abstract from one of the 
scenes will interest all in whom the sense 
of imagination and power to appreciate 
logic still holds sway. 
Vavin, a scientist, is discovered with 
Halcomb and Dora — the lovers of the play. 
Before leaving them alone in the moon¬ 
light, he administers gratuitously a psy¬ 
chological benediction: 
Vavin — Do you know the effect of color? 
Halcomb — Color?
