Inferior Materials: Lamp shades are a matter of taste, but plain materials are usually preferable. Silks, parchment, heavy paper, plastics, tortoise shell, and suede should be lined with a light warm color to obtain efficient reflection. A small amount of exterior trimming is advisable. Opaque shades of tin, leather, tole, or other materials are very suitable, because of the elimination of glare. Light sources should always be out of the line of vision. It is difficult to present any rule for proportioning the size or shaping the silhouette of a lamp shade, but various patterns may be made in paper and placed in position for the eye to judge their correct scale, size, and shape. Too much importance cannot be given to the quality of workmanship in making a shade and its frame. Badly constructed shades made of inferior materials are a poor economy.

Bronze mirrors had polished reflecting disks, often supported by small figures of women, delicately cast and inferior only in size to their marble kin.

Although the number of children she studied was small, the results of her experiments with spontaneous food selection have had great influence on practice. Her newly weaned babies were offered trays which contained a large array of foods. Even though their diets were not balanced day by day,ations.
