HEN YOU bought the lamps ’ » for your room, did you buy them because they were pretty and because they appealed to you, or did you »elect them especially to go with the style and furniture of your room? Perhaps this sounds like a foolish question, but strange as it may leem, many lamps have been bought In this very way. Like every­ thing else In the room, the lamps must have a relation to it. They must harmonize or contrast In col­ or, but they must have been chosen with the room In mind. An elaborate lamp with an ornate base and ornamented satin shade Is out of place In an early Amer­ ican room done with maple furni­ ture. A beautiful modern lamp Is Just as out of place in an eighteenth century room. Now, what about the colors on your lamp shades? Are they light? Or do they have a color that is not used anywhere else in the room? Are they easy to clean or have you noticed for some time how shabby the shades look? Have you grown tired of the lamps? Or, do you still like them Just as much as when you first put them in the room? Yes, these are some of the ques­ tions you must answer with regards to lamps in your rooms.

One thing upon which most authorities agree Is that lamps should be much larger than they are. They should also be inconspicuous because light in Itself is so conspicuous.

Here’s Guide to Use For Choosing Lamps If you have fine rooms, your best choices in bases are brass, copper and silver. For sturdy rooms, choose pewter, aluminum or tin.
