Mirrors should not be hung where a strong light falls directly upon them, because this is aiit to ruin the mercury; but they may be* hung in a dark corner to give the illusion of light, and used to line the backs of built-in, glass-fronted cupboards to bring the feeling of spaciousness into a tiny room. _ The most, decorative way of doing this is to have square panes of mirror attached to the back and sides of the cupboard, but the panes must not be too small or the effect will be fussy, j A mirror hung where it will reflect a pleasant view from a fairly distant window, or an interesting group of furniture with a background of beautiful curtains, is another way of using a mirror io increase file charm of a room.
