U.'l ▲ 4 "Muck for Little. There is so much talk these independent days of the freedom of women that a sort of legend is growing up, a legend which conveys a picture of women striding triumphantly through every phase of life, having all their own way, getting all they want out of life, and generally achieving a most enviable existence. It is not so really. Women, we admit, are, almost without exception, free agents in the management of the home, in its arrangement and its decorative qualities. But even so, they appreciate their husband's opinion, and if it does not coincide always with their own, are eager to change the theme if at all possible. It is not often—perhaps rarely—that women are able to carry out their ideas, for an extravagant age is upon us, and we ask for very much more to-day than did our mothers and grandmothers before us. Probably one. of the most important points in home arrangement is the lighting effects. No home, however delightfully thought out and arranged, can be a success if the lighting properties are poor and badly placed. Nothing is so abominable to a woman than to be compelled to sit in a room where the lights are hard and crude. It destroys the prettiest face, and makes a really lovely woman ordinary. But if the. lighting is carried out in the right way, plain women become attractive and pretty women positively beautiful. So why, under such simple circumstances and for just a little thought and judgment, should women suffer badly appointed lighting arrangements. The Bathroom. In the old days, too, the bathroom was frequently in a most inconvenient place. It seemed, apparently, that it didn't matter at all where it was so long as a bathroom existed. To-day common sense is used, and the bathroom is in easy access to the bedrooms. And what a charming room the bathroom of to-day is! With its glass-topped tables and pastelcoloured Avails, its nickel taps and the brightly-hued towels and slips, it is as charming as milady's boudoir and often more attractive than the everyday sort of drawing room. It isn't always a tiny room either as of yore. It boasts quite a wide amount of space and is so utterly fascinating that one is inclined to remain in the bath longer perhaps than is good. But the warm shower is so delicious, and the rosy-coloured towels and the refreshing aromatic perfume of the bath salts are so pleasant and so restful, one justly feels that the bathroom is a place to dream in as well as in which to make one's daily ablutions. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ and Soundproof Yes, sound - proofing is one more use for TEN/TEST Insulating Building Board.
