Home ownership is a big factor
in the making of a good citizen. A
man who owns his own home. or
has started to pay for one. is a
much more stable and dependable
person than the one who rents his
living quarters. because he feels
himself a member of the com-
munity. lie cxpcrts to make it his

Who lives in a rented house or
apartment can always move 'on
short notice if there is something
in the community which is not to
his liking. and he is quite apt to
tio so. but the man who lives in a
‘house which he owns himself is
much more apt to try to bring Ute
community up to his standards and
ideals.

lFlTNESS AND BEAUTY SEEN
IN LAMPS AND FIXTURES
Modern‘Lighting Equipment Now Plays Important
Part in Home Decoration.
EVENISH
By S. E. D
Along with other changes of late
years has come a new contention
or what constitutes a well fur-
nished home. Gone are the sets of
horsehair upholstered black walnut
furniture and many of their stiff.“
formal decorative companions. Now
one only sees them in mw'asional
historical plays. Modern women
have rid their homes of this type of
furnishing. dark-colored decorations

The greatest pioneer aid in male

the incandescent electric lamp.
This revolutionary form of lighting.
even in the simplest form. pos-
sessed such outstanding advantages
that some women saw its great pos-
sibilities and started to modify the
decorative treatment of their
homes.
The early forms of electric fix-
tures were fashioned directly after
the designs of such types of light-
ing fixtures as were then in use. It
must be said that the common run
of pro-electric. fixtures rsrcly pos-
sessed the slightest approach to the
artistic or decorative. So too of
early electric lighting fixtures.
They were considered merely as
necessary suspensions for holding
the carbon filament lamps so as to
distribute the new filckerless and
snotless illumination to various
parts 0f the room. The superiori-
ties of this early form of electric
lamp were so marked that the aver-

types of fixtures with which homes
have been equipped in past _\ *fll’S.
and the dangers of glurr- which
were thought a necessary evil.
But it is only quite recently that
any intensive and general attempt
has been made to make available
to the public. lighting fixtures of

This. because in the past. three or

in this country.
The. home furnisher of today has

floor covering. To mention some of
the most rominent, there are top-
estries. vo vets, Axminstcrs and Wil-
tons. with several grades in each. Of

No other article of furnishing in

Any room that has been decorat-

rule, but because each period is the
outcome of certain conditions. and
only allied treatments will be bar-
monlous.
The days of the Renaissance
were conspicuous for religious and
mythological themes. The Baroque
age had its heroics. The Rococo
was identified with putorals and
love scenes. while the NeoClasslc
period found interest in architec-
tural landscapes and classical sub-
jects. To hang a picture of the
wrong period in a room is simply
trying to lace it in an unsympa-
thetic en roument. like putting a
violet in a bunch of roses.
At that. there is a wide scope for

It is permissible to are pictures
of an cuiier period than that rep-

while the Chippendale room is

film of any previous period were
already in existence. and if they
are especial favorites or otherwise
valuable. it is reachable to include
them in the room. If. however, the
furniture is of an early period. as

pictures did not yet exist. and it
would seem better to ueloct come-
tblng more strictly in accord with
the room. '
“Periods" is not the, formidable
thing we think of in connection
with interior decorating. The word
means. simply. time. If different
pieces of furniture in a room are

extracts:
"No economy in cheap carpets."
“American makes equal im-

“After a careful study! have
concluded that the Wilton carpet is
preferable."
"in a Wilton carpet the process
of manufacturing is such that a

What applies to hotels applies to
an extent to the. private home.
Particularly for the “down-stairs"
rooms. the living room. hall. library

It is no longer considered the
best course of procedure. to paint or
paper all the walls of a house. or
even of one floor. in the statue color.
Each room has different exposure
and different purpose. and in each
case the wall treatment should be
selected with reference to these
particular conditions. A north
room requires warmer tones than
does the sunny room on the south
side. A simple bedroom requires dif-
ferent wall treatment from a formal
dining room in which a certain dig-
nity and weight is wanted. One room
may be furnished in oak and an-
other in mahogany. and it is evi-
dent that a different background is
desirable to display the qualities of

elcti one would be one foot and two

thought that only the standardized

that the requirements for a three-
rutllll home were the shine in a flat.
in Harlem as for a bungalow in
Gardenia. Kansas. and the woman
who did want‘ to make her home
different met with no cooperation
for all the furniture was built upon
the same old set designs with no
more thought about individuality
than is given to a loaf of bread.
The manufacture of furniture was
a reaction from the handwrought
pieces of early days and a catering
to the pioneer period in which the
main object was to make a living.
But since then American taste has
been greatly refined and people are
no longer satisfied with a dining
room that looks like every other
dining room on the, street. or a live
ing room that might be described
from imaginatioa as well as sight,
so little individuality was shown.
Meeting the Demand
There must always be demand
before supply. if that supply-de-
mand theory will work. and in this
case as soon as the people really
began to resent having their fumi-
ture all fashioned from the same
designs. or those practically the
same. the manufacturers woke up
to the idea that some change must:
be made. Consequently. no effort:
was spared to give the public what:
it wanted—furniture. with distinc-
tion and individuality. The de-
slgners realize that greater care
and taste is shown by people Every]
day in their selection of and their
demands for furniture. and they are
catering to this refinement and
good taste.
For instance, take a small, occa.
sional table for the living room.
Think of the, number of styles.
woods and finishes one has to
choose from. First. he may use the
old stand-by. the gateleg table. and
the variations of this are enough to
interest the looker for a day: or
a tilt-top table. with a round. oval
or octagonal top with the, edges
buried. grooved or “piecrusted”;
or perhaps the person wants a long.
narrow davenport table; or one
equally as narrow in the shorter
end table which may be merely a
tiny one for the bookends and may-
be a lump, or may have racks below
for magazines. or may be converted
into a sewing table on a moment's
notice. Besides these. there are
tall. thin nests of tables that fit into
each other like clockwork. and
short “squatty” coffee tables drawn
beside the davenport. and without
half looking. one may find many
others.
Lacquer Finishes
Moreover. these tables are not
made only of the woods that one
finds in the heavier pieces of furni-
ture. but the small table is often in
a contrasting wood to give a touch
of variety to the. room. A very
effective variation is found in the
(‘hlnese lacquer. so often in red.
that is being used extensively at
the present time.
It is not in tables alone that one
finds this distinction by any means
-—this was merely used as an ex-
ample. In the larger pieces of
furniture. which must of necessity
conform to certain lines more than
the smaller. the variety in the fin-
ishes plays as great a part as the
changes in design. Combination of
Mo different kinds of wood adds
interest to any piece of furniture if
the combination is well done. and
the contrast of the grains of the
wood running in opposite direction
is particularly effective.
HINTB ON IOEBOXES
Are there little beads of glisten-
ing moisture on the outside of
your icebox? Even in a well-made
refrigerator it is almost impossible
to prevent "sweating." It is quite
impossible to prevent a difference
in temperature between the out-
side casing and that of the room.
Consequently any moisture held in
the room atmosphere is bound to
condense on the outside of the box.
If the refrigerator is kept well.
