NEXT MONTH IS THE HOUSE FITTINGS NUMBER 
W ALLS and ceilings constitute the back¬ 
ground of rooms, and they are the first 
fittings one must consider when a house 
is being fitted and decorated. In the Febru¬ 
ary number these subjects are described and 
pictured—the wood paneled wall and the 
molded plaster ceiling. As a guide to those 
who want to know their panels we have in¬ 
cluded two pages of sketches showing the de¬ 
signs from the Gothic to the present. There 
is also a suggestion for treating walls with 
screens, which is one of the many uses screens 
can be put to. 
The fireplace is such an essential center of 
interest, and so cheering and practical a one 
during the cold months, that a special page is 
devoted to it. Tables for the end of the 
couch which so often comes into the fireplace • 
furniture grouping are considered, too; and 
that the color scheme of the whole room may 
be pleasing, there is another article on the 
essential principles of color harmony. 
An atmosphere of romance clings to Gardner 
Teall’s article on Palissy, that skilled keramic 
Ornamental plaster walls are consid¬ 
ered in February 
artist who made such sacrifices to his work. It 
is a story full of human interest and devotion 
to a great cause. More purely practical, but of 
intrinsic charm, are the sketches of Colonial in¬ 
teriors which Louis Ruyl has done for us, and 
the pages of Colonial doors and shutters. 
In these days when the time-honored servant 
problem so vexes the housewifely soul, espe¬ 
cial interest attaches to the utilitarian aspects 
of the home. And since we cannot have a 
home without food, and since for food cook¬ 
ing is necessary, the two February pages on 
fireless cookers are included. These, together 
with the lead article on a brand new plan for 
the expensive home on an economic basis, 
are especially important today. 
The gardener who knows accurately the pro¬ 
portions of seed sown to crops harvested is 
rare. But William McCollom knows, and he 
tells about it in this issue. 
These are but high-lights on the February 
contents. The general illumination balances 
and sets them off with a total of twenty-six 
separate features.
