BEAUTY IN LIGHTING Specialist Tells How to Use Electric- ity for Room Decoration A painting would be most uninter- esting without its high lights. A room is equally so. Why not use lighting features to provide high lights in the general picture which the room creates? This is the idea presented by A. H. Black Dirt Cinders Just Phone WINNETKA 653 LYNAM BROS. & SMITH Quality Coal ~ Coke ~- Wood Smith, lighting specialist of the Pub- lic Service company, who spoke re- cently before women of this district's offices at a meeting at the North Shore hotel. Small artistic lighting devices have the possibility of adding to the beauty of homes in which they are introduced, he stated. Ordinary use of fabrics, draperies, hangings, coverings of metal or glass with their colors and more or less fixed character have naturally come first in the decorative schemes, but light presents another medium for the decorator. Has Peculiar Charm "It is so subtle in its action, it can be modified to fit any mood or feeling. Its intangibility, varying character, gives it a peculiar charm." Introducing light within translucent materials is suggested by Mr. Smith to produce novel effects. A vase, a piece of statuary or an ornamental bowl of translucent marble, fabric, horn or sea- shell--all may take on a new beauty with the entrance of light into them. While giving the piece no great bright- ness, the concealing of a lamp within a vase, for example, will be power- ful enough to show up the details of decoration and provide interesting contrast to the general scheme of a room. There is already evidence that people want artistic lighting, but there: are many unused possibilities for it which will add a new element of beauty into homes, stated Mr. Smith.
