FINISHING TOUCHES

JN every home, from the humblest cottage to the palatial mansion, there is always scope for the fine artistic touches of a woman’s hand. Who has not noticed the polished or carpeted floors, the noble vases, the lovely statuettes, the delicate flowers all daintily arranged, the soft luxurious cushions, and the hundred and one other little luxuries that all count for comfort, cheer, and refined beauty in a home. One of the very latest ideas, however, and one that is becoming very popular in well-ordered homes, is the use of silk lamp shades for electric lights. These shades have a peculiar charm, and where really good taste is displayed they add an attractive appearance to any room in the house. They are to be had in so many delicate shades, shapes and sizes, and tile most wonderful feature about them is that they cast a beautiful soft glow of light, so restful to the eye, and so different to the dazzling effect of a bright electric bulb in clear glass.

You will have no difficulty in selecting shades of a colour that will be quite complimentary to and at the same time harmonise beautifully with the existing colour scheme in your room. The Scoullar Furnishing Co., the popular house furnishers of Wellington, have a very fine, and, shall we say, exclusive range of these beautiful shades. It would be quite superfluous to try and describe them in this paragraph, but ladies are requested to call personally and see for themselves the wonderful ranges of these beautiful shades. They have a vory interesting exhibit of shades at the Industrial Exhibition as well as at their warehouse in Lambton and the sales-people will gladly show them to you without pressing you to make a purchase. After you have examined them you will possibly wonder how they can be sold so cheaply. Remember, there’s a reason. The Scoullar Furnishing Co., Ltd., Lambton Quay.
