TESTED TIPS
(By

(Copyright.) A room which, gets little sunlight can often he ’brightened considerably by the clever placing of a large mirror, fairly low, and opposite to what light there is. A large, well-placed mirror, hung low, will give to a small room an illusion of much greater space by reflecting almost the whole of the room. For this purpose, a square or oblong, windowlilce mirror is best, flat against the wall. If possible, the method of suspension should be invisible, but if the mirror must be hung from the picture-rail, use two chains or strong wires attached to separate hooks rather than one, slanting at an angle. Besides the additional strength given by two supports, the short, straight lines are much bet-, ter in keeping with the square mirror than the diagonal ones.
