The House in Good Taste
·
Elsie De Wolfe
72
When
all
is
said
and
done,
we
must
come
back
to
wax
candles
for
the
most
beautiful
light
of
all.
Electricity
is
the
most
efficient,
but
candlelight
is
the
most
satisfying.
For
a
drawing-room,
or
any
formal
room
where
a
clear
light
is
not
required,
wax
candles
are
perfect.
There
are
still
a
few
houses
left
where
candlesticks
are
things
of
use
and
are
not
banished
to
the
shelves
as
curiosities.
Certainly
the
clear,
white
light
of
electricity
seems
heaven-sent
when
one
is
dressing
or
working,
but
for
between-hours,
for
the
brief
periods
of
rest,
the
only
thing
that
rivals
the
comfort
of
candlelight
is
the
glow
of
an
open
fire.
