tFrepared by the United States Department of Agriculture }—WNU Service. How often one goes into a home which is nicely furnished, weil-ar ranged, and comfortable-—except for the lighting! For a long time it was the custom to place & large center light in each room overhead and let every one use it to what they were doing. It had to serve for read. ing newspapers, sewing, laying the piano, doing lessons, eating meals, dressing, cooking or washing depending upon the room and its pur. pose. Obviously several people in the same room could not all occupy good positions with regard to one overhead light, if, indeed, any of them did. Some would be in semi-shadow, aware that they were straining their eves and enjoying less comfort than they would have with light distributed to all parts of the room. The essence of good modern lighting is to have light ited where It Hlluminates what you want to see, without a glare, Correct for one room differs from that other.

He was wearing a tall green hat and green spectacles on his nose, The gnonies had told him that his costume was rather gay for a teacher of pigs, but Peter had the idea that he must impress the pigs with cleanll- ness and attractiveness-—for, as he 0 truly sald, they would just as wear tall hats and tall boots of mud! As for the fairies who came to see how Peter Gnome's funny wis getting they came dressed in soft gray dresses with gray wings and silver gray wands, They had sald they wanted to Hke little school fairies, Soon Peter Gnome began his teach- ing. All little pigs up recited in chorus the many wise thi Peter had taught them all about; clean and neat they should be In order to be thought well of—and to give peo- ple a different idea than that the very name of pig meant dirt and mud.
