The lamp shade should be in proportion to the base, have a white lining sud be just densel enough te conceal the outlines of bulbs or reflector bowl when the lamp is lighted.. 2. The lamp base should be heavy and stable, with a non- fraying cord attached. 3. Retiecters can be put into ail lampa. They insure light with- eut glare. 4. A lump, when paced on the' table, should be %ar enough te1 g i v e a g o p e d e l i g h t . F e i't o r _trt fg inhs lasuggested as theditnefm the floor te the lower edge of the lamp shade.
