Announcement: 



VERY reader of AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS, 

 whether a subscriber or not, is invited to consult the 

 Editor of the new COLLECTORS' DEPARTMENT on 

 all subjects connected with their favorite hobbies. If you 

 have any object of interest to collectors about which you 

 desire information, a letter enclosing a stamp will bring a reply from 

 this Department of the Magazine. Readers who have antiques and 

 curios for exchange are invited to send lists of such objects for publica- 

 tion in the Collectors' exchange department. Lord Brougham once said ; 

 "Blessed is he who hath a hobby," and thrice blessed indeed is the man 

 whose hobby has to do with the beautifying of the home, the adornment 

 of it with objects of association such as the Collector loves to bring to- 

 gether. The following are some of the subjects that will receive atten-
