The House in Good Taste
·
Elsie De Wolfe
133
Have
your
mirrors
so
arranged
that
you
get
a
good
strong
light
by
day,
and
have
plenty
of
electric
lights
all
around
the
dressing-mirrors
for
night
use.
In
other
words,
know
the
worst
before
you
go
out!
In
my
own
dressing-room
the
lights
are
arranged
just
as
I
used
to
have
them
long
ago
in
my
theater
dressing-room
when
I
was
on
the
stage.
I
can
see
myself
back,
front
and
sides
before
I
go
out.
Really,
it
is
a
comfort
to
be
on
friendly
terms
with
your
own
back
hair!
I
lay
great
stress
on
the
mirrors
and
plenty
of
lights,
and
yet
more
lights.
Oh,
the
joy,
the
blessing
of
electric
light!
I
think
every
woman
would
like
to
dress
always
by
a
blaze
of
electric
light,
and
be
seen
only
in
the
soft
luminosity
of
candle
light--how
lovely
we
would
all
look,
to
be
sure!
It
is
a
great
thing
to
know
the
worst
before
one
goes
out,
so
that
even
the
terrors
of
the
arc
lights
before
our
theaters
will
be
powerless
to
dismay
us.
If
there
is
room
in
the
dressing-room,
there
should
be
a
sofa
with
a
slip
cover
of
some
washable
fabric
that
can
be
taken
off
when
necessary.
This
sofa
may
be
the
simplest
wooden
frame,
with
a
soft
pad,
or
it
may
be
a
chaise-longue
of
elegant
lines.
The
chaise-longue
is
suitable
for
bedroom
or
dressing-room,
but
it
is
an
especially
luxurious
lounging-place
when
you
are
having
your
hair
done.
