OVALTINE

A DELICIOUS BEVERAGE One of the most popular stalls of the Winter Show is the “Ovaltine” one, where drinks of this delicious beverage may be obtained. “Ovaltine” is a tasty drink made from concentrated nourishment extracted from malt, milk and eggs. All the food elements are present in correct ratio, thus making “Ovaltine” a drink of undoubted value. For children in the winter time, “Ovaltine” is a necessity. Deprived by weather conditions from sunshine and fresh air, winter troubles are likely to develop, but the nourishment from “Ovaltine” gives ample protection. “Ovaltine” is more appetising, easier digested and much more nourishing than any other winter beverage. MODERN LIGHTING CHARM AND EFFECTIVENESS The old system of wall lights Is gradually giving way in modern electric lighting systems to the big, central, inverted globe, supplemented bymovable lamps. A fairly large room can be adequately lighted in this way by the central globe and two additional lamps, which stand on the mantelpiece or can be plugged in at other parts of the room. While the French affect the white, daylight light, the English and Americans prefer something a little more mellow. Flat glass pans are made very thick and often with heav-ily-embossed glass which is slightly tinted inside. The design is generally stiff and not very noticeable, and it often happens that only the embossed part is coloured in pale yellow j or orange. For spare-looking fireplaces, am! particularly for those which are at al! | based on Adams designs, wooden candle-sticks are used, gilded with very pale, dull gold. These art heavily weighted at the bottom and in design have an elliptical instead of a round foot. They are slightly shaped and fairly tall. Perhaps the most satisfactory shades are those which are like a screen and shade only one side of the light. More in keeping with the severe, elegant lines of the candle-stick are shades of mottled parchment with a plain gold band round the edge. The practice of shading the light from below can be carried out by filling in with the parchment the lower opening of the shade. These give a charming light which is almost like the daylight, but very much softer.
