| BY JOAN SAVOY NEA Service Writer ,r *| "'HERE'S more than a wee bit of l bonny v plaid stepping to the front ranks of style these days. In fact, anything with a dash of Scotch in it is right up Fashion's alley! There are two types of plaid frocks that are smart as creation and fill those in-between needs when you want to look smart, would like a little color and dash in your outfit and yet don’t want to really dress up in your Sunday-go-to-meeting. First, you can have the gay top worn with a dark skirt. Tilts follows the mode for light blouses and the newer vogue for light-toned coats with dark skirts. But if you make this overblouse of plaid, then it’s a 100 per cent bet you will be glad of it. The second type of plaid costume this late winter is the all-plaid frock. Sometimes it is of the loveliest and softest of Scotch plaid woolen, sometimes of silk. It may be the usual red. green, black, blue and yellow combination, or it may be something quite bizarre, such as emerald green and gold in varying stripes to make the plaid. Two new plaid costumes that in a not-quite-Scotch manner, are lavish with their chic, include the plaid-topped frock and the whole plaid frock.

Is Your Home Merely “LIGHTED”? Many people expect only one thing of electric lighting—illumination. That is not enough. Lighting may be good or bad. The basic rule of proper lighting in the home is to light the object—not the eye. There should be an adequate supply of light; there should be no glare; the illumination should be well distributed. Improper lighting causes eyestrain, fatigue, headaches. Proper lighting not only saves the eyes, but its soft, diffused light makes the home more attractive. Look through your home! Is the light good in some places, poor in others? An added lamp would mean convenience—even safety. Good lighting costs no more than poor lighting Our lighting department would be glad to advise you INDIANAPOLIS POWER & LIGHT COMPANY 48 MONUMENT CIRCLE
