by filtering these components of the light through orange shades.  The ceiling fixture should be provided with two circuits and switches.  In some cases it is easy to provide a dangling plug for connecting such electric equipment as a toaster, percolator, or candlesticks.  Two candlesticks are effective on the buffet, but usually the smallest normal-voltage lamps available give too much light.  Miniature lamps may be used with a small transformer, or two regular lamps may be connected in series.  At least two baseboard outlets are convenient.

The foregoing deals with the more or less essential lighting of a dining-room, but there are various practicable additional lighting effects which add much charm to certain occasions.  Colored light of low intensity obtained from a cove or from “flower-boxes” fastened upon the wall is very pleasing.  If a cove is provided around the room, two circuits containing orange and blue lamps respectively will supply two colors widely differing in effect.  By mixing the two a beautiful rose tint may be obtained.  This equipment has been installed with much satisfaction.  A simpler method of obtaining a similar effect is to use imitation flower-boxes plugged into wall outlets.  Artificial foliage adds to the charm of these boxes.  The colored light is merely to add another effect on special occasions and its intensity should never be high.  In the dining-room such unusual effects are not out of place and they need not be garish.

The sun-room partakes of the characteristics of the living-room to some extent, but, it being smaller, a semi-indirect fixture may be satisfactory for general illumination.  However, a portable lamp which supplies an indirect component of light besides the direct light serves admirably for reading as well as for flooding the room with light when necessary.  Two or three baseboard outlets are desirable for attaching decorative or even purely utilitarian lamps.  The sun-room is an excellent place for utilizing “flower-box” fixtures decorated with artificial foliage.  In fact, a central fixture may assume the appearance of a “hanging basket” of foliage.  The library and den offer no problems differing from those already discussed in the living-room.  A careful consideration of the disposition of the furniture will reveal the best positions for the outlets.  In a small library wall brackets may serve as decorative spots of light and if the shades are pendent they may serve as lamps for reading purposes.  In both these rooms an excellent reading-lamp is desired, but it may be decorative as well.  Wall outlets may be desired for decorative portable lamps upon the bookcases.
