I. D. i.il.,.,,i:,:.i.i..i:tai,iti,linlhiil!!i:i!li!ii;.i Contemporary Comment MODERIN ART IS NO LONGER In the speculative state. It is an accomplished fact. Whether you like it or whether you don't.

Is immaterial. You will have to face It in your friends' homes, In your own shops, in dress material, draperies and even Jewelry. Little did we Imagine ten years ago that out of the barely tolerated Cubist art would arise anything so practical, restful and, In rare cases, so beautiful. It has certainly taken Its place In architecture, where the stepped simplicity of line is rivaling other classes of design. In buildings it has the advantage of affording sunlight and air to more rooms, which in itself is a big item in an overcrowded city.

The indirect lighting system which goes hand in hand with this modem art. has a softness about it that Is entirely restful to the eye. It has Its points. However, there are still too many amateur decorators who think a modernistic chair, a few silvered.
