WOMA Lights Add Luxury t; BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. :w m s, o, o {I/ ke a touch of luxury when the headboard is high emough to permit of il ‘The placing of lights in a bedroom 8 a problem not always met satisfac- torily. and one which every home maker has to cope with at one time or an- other. Pirst of all it is necessary to eonsider the position of bureau and chaise longue, If the room is so luxuri- ous as to contain one of these. Then. 100, there ix the boudoir desk that re- cuires special lighting, and last but not least. the bed. It is particularly the Jatter problem which is under scrutiny ay. Lights which add a touch of luxury may be no more expensive than those which do not. Upon what does this sense of luxury depend? Not always it it upon the costliness of the fixture or of the shade alone. The studied convenience which makes it possible to control it with the least effort has as much to do with effect. To read in bed by a light well shed upon the page, and be able to extinguish by a lift of the hand when the moment of drowsiness descends, is to enjoy the pleasure of a bed light to the fullest extent. There are several ways of obtaining this sense of comfort. It differs ac- cording to the kind of bed. For in- stance, twin beds are apt to have a different arrangement than double or single beds. Beds with a moderately high head board take a different equip- ment than, for instance. one of the low type beds of the “sleigh” or “spool” va- riety. Twin beds are apt to have a light placed on & stand or table between them. with a switch accessible to both ‘The lamp thould be of sufficient height, or should be raised to the point where the shadow of the shade escapes the ' KEEPING MENTALLY FIT BY PROF.

This is important for genuine comfort. A standard lamp beside a bed sup- plies & good reading light. This should be of the distinetly boudoir type. Some- | times such lamps are portable, having | enough lengths of cord to enable them | 1o be used beside the easy chi chaise longue, dressing table or bed at will. The shaded-hood bed lights are at-} tachable to the head of the bed when that comes at a good height to throw the light well for reading. These are a happy thought from those who have lighting fixtures to design. They do not come under the heads of necessities at | all. So what else can they be, but luxuries> While it is possible to have a light well thrown on a bed without them, they give a sense of finesse dear to thoughtfulness which erecting them implies, give a sense of finesse dear to | any home maker. They can be used on | single, double or twin beds. The shade can appear to be part of the bed fit- tings and contribute its inconspicuous but colorful effect. The drop light over a bed is the ex- | | | in bed lights. Its cord can be carried from a socket fixture at some distance, and. indeed. this is frequently the case. Since the cord itself. by which it is sus- pended from the ceiling. is so promi- nent. it is best to have it of silk and of | a color to harmonize with shade to the bulb beneath. In some chambers. the placing of the bed is different in Winter and Summer. In such circumstances it is important to see that the arrangement is a flexible one when it is installed so that when the change in the r\sluon of the furni- ture is made it will be adaptable to the | new one. | | some way THE EVEN LITTLE BENNY Sattidy afternon ma was sitting in her room, saying, O my, I cant settle my mind to enything today, I feel de- pressed. my goodnis you mite think the werld was coming to an end or some- thing, T feel so gloomy, T dont know why, perhaps its the weather, O deer I fecl like & dying werm on a hook.

Just the other night a Washington speaker addressed an audience and elo- | ?uenuy described his experiences in a ar country. During his talk he re- lated some un- usually interesting incidents which included a hair- raising escape from bandits and innumerable othei\ dangers. The man's pro- fession had taken him to the most remote and pic- turesque corners of the world. and his hearers sensed the fact that they were listening to something consid- erably more than an address. It was rather the re- cital of a dramatic career. For more than an hour and a half intelligent adults absorbed adventure like small children at a parent’s knee. At the conclusion of the address a young fel- low rose and sald to his companion, “Well, what of it?"” ‘There is a tendency among too many folks to express themselves thus. “What of it?” is so often the armor of those who are decidedly rrluctln‘g | to_be regarded as any but “wise guys.
