1936 Lighting Fixtures Reflect Bright New Ideas
MULTIPLE-PURPOSE LAMPS
, BY MARY MARGARET McBRIDE
NEA Service Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK—With 1936 comes a new slant on home lighting. The
all-purpose fixture is a feature that will appear in various guises, in
nearly evg new lighting display.
Designed to combine good glareless light with simple, unobtrusive
lines, the, new type of fixture is not tagged for use in boudoir, dining
room Or any one place. Adaptability is its charm. It fits anywhere.
Instead of straining to compromise with the past, experts have de
vised lamps, center lights and brackets that are whole-heartedly up
to-date. Resulf; lights that blend with anything from antique rococco
to Grand Rapids at itg most starkly modern.
Kurt Versen, whose lights have won many prizes, believes there is
no justification for fixtures reminiscent of gag chandeliers, oil lan
terns or candle flames. Besides being inefficient, they are decoratvely
inconsistent, he pointg out. Recently an American collector of antiques
chosen Versen lights of modern lines to go into an original Sir Christ
opher Wren room acquired from
by it b 3 A & e e SRR Tty le, Serad iR
an 18th century English manor
house,
Be careful about the finish of
the fixture and it will blend with
any decorative style, say all the
experts, Dark finishes such as
chromium or gun-metal are re
commended for use with Georgian
mahogany. Pewter goes best with
early American furniture and can
be found in distinctly modern
forms. White and gold with mii'-
ror trimming c¢can be used with
French 18th century decorative
schemes. For modern furniture
there is a still wider choice, in
cluding brushed nickle, brushed al
uminum, copper and all of the
above materials worked together
in various attractive combinations.
Center Lights
Redesigned, Too
Aladdin-like miracles have been
accomplished in redesigning cen
ter lights for the home. The old
fashioned “cluster” with eye-strain
and fatigue clinging to every un
shaded bulb is definitely outmod
ed.

NEW YORK—Perfect pick-me-ups for tired winter
wardrobes, not to mention frazzled post-holiday nerves,
are simple little silk and woolen dresses, handsomely cut
and made of lovely materials,
The old beaver coat takes on new glamor if you buy
& creamy biege or pale, pale cinnamon brown dress to
wear under it. The Persian lamb swagger that looks
grand but which you would gladly change for a spring
suit thig very moment resumes its former zip and zest
when a new dress under it is crisp black, with a starkly
neat white collar, or ice green flannel or pale rose woolen
—ever so sheer.
Under any black winter coat a black crepe frock with
m silk trimming ig good, especially if you replace
your old black coat with one of bright felt or ribbon

A crisp black crepe dress (left) with red

down the front (it might be called a full

any winter wardrobe. The jacket ensem

colorful printed sash to match the hip+

othed frock (right), also in black crepe,
has incrustations of braided medallions

at the front and the wide leather belt.

Look at dark silk dresses with lace collar effects that

where a yoke would be. Pick all the greenery off twa
or three dark red carnationg or bright pink geraniums
and pin the bright blessoms high at the neckline of the
dress. Carry a handkerchief lavishly trimmed with lace
similar to that on the dress. Or stick a jeweled bug on
the plain bag you got for Christmas. Or figure out
something original but just as silly vourself. The object
right now is to revive your interest in clothes. ~
You might consider a bright waistcoat of flannel, suede
cloth or taffeta—mannish, like the ones Paris is talkng
about. Wear it under your winter suit or with a sep

green or orange as bright as the costume you wore at

If you haven't done anything about colored gloves,
this is just the month to start. Rust ones, teamed up
with a rust purse, should make the'old green dress truly
a thing of beauty. Rose suede gloves and a matching
muffler ig an idea for the black-dress-minded. Wine
with blue suit or frock and, of course, natural yellow
chameis with practfcally any dark coor are other sug
gestions you needn’t dismiss lightly.
Incidentally, just in case you don’t feel like getting
another dark dress, how about a printed silk? Florals,
geometrics and combinations like wagon wheels in a
field of flowers all are fresh, breezy and colorful, and
worth your attention. Persian and BEast indian prints
are good. Newest' of all are newspage prints |naturally
I'm partial to these) which look as though a clever de
signer had torn up the Sunday magazine and Want Ad
sections and photographed them on silk.
Among the smaller center lights
a new type of kitchen light is prac
tical. It has a glass bowl that
screws on as simply as the lid of

A public utility company recent
ly made a survey which proved
that 95 per cent of all bracket
lights are never used in the average
homes. The newer types will en
joy a different fate for they have
a dual nature. Their shades are

Two-Way Light
From Ne wFixtures
Dual-action lamps that give both
an indirect and downward light
are important news. And the old
fashioned goose-neck lamp is up
to new tricks. Their double-swlvel[
shades can be twisted to throw
light in any direction and can also
be shifted to any hegnt,

budget for recessed lights can be|
as low as one and a half per cent
iof the building cost. And b.uilt-inl
lights are the most efficient type
possible for kitchens—and dress
ing rooms. Recessed lighting ar
rangements on either side of a|
l,dressing table, unlike the usual |
boulair lamp, do not light the mir
ror but the person before it, thus
eliminating disfiguring shadows
and making it possible for milady
tto see how she really looks. l

CHARLOTTE NIVEN NOTES ART ADVANCE AS SIGN OF CULTURE
By MARY MARGARET McBRIDE
NEA Service Staff Correspondent. |
NEW YORK.—The best outlook
for youth in the entire world to
day is in China, where matters
that concern restless westerners
are of little importance.
That is because China has
four thousand years of civilization
back of her, explains Charlotte
Niven, who in the past 15 years
as executive head of the World's
Council of the Y. W. C. A. has
been in touch with the economic
and political status of women in
50 countries.
Miss Niver has recently return
ed from twenty-five years of liv
ing in other countries to become
a member of the national boa.rdi
of the Y. W. C. A, here.
“The major task we have lnl
eastern lands today,” she said, “is|
aiding young women to live twe
lives, that of their own and of
the west. It is difficult for them
not to lose what is beautiful of
their own and yet to keep up
with western advantages.”
Serenity Is America’s Need
America, Miss Niven warns, isl
putting a dreadful psycho]ogica]l
and emotional strain on youth by
the way life here surges one way
and then another is an effort to
find the right place to stop and
settle in. Studying anew her own;
country since her return, Miss'
Niven has found some fine signs.
The tremendous interest in art
for instance, and the mnew art
centers everywhere, she cites as
signs that America is becoming
mature.
“It may be superficial at this
stage,” she admits, “but it is a
step toward genuine culture. The
second good sign is the striking
interest in world affairs. Every
where I go there are questions,]
questions, questions the minute[
anybody finds I have lived in Ge- |
