INTERIOR D 
T here are three things we have been 
trying to create and maintain in House 
& Garden. The first is an atmosphere 
of good taste which is livable. The second is 
the practical suggestion on how this can be 
gotten. The third is to arrange this material 
in such a manner that every time a page is 
turned you find something different. In other 
words, the reader’s interest is maintained from 
start to finish—from frontispiece to Gardener’s 
Calendar. The pages do not lose in interest 
as they approach the back of the magazine. 
Take this April issue, for example. It is 
about Interior Decoration. A mighty big sub¬ 
ject, but we’ve managed to assemble many of 
the numberless interests that it creates. If you 
want to know what the current and most up- 
to-date tendency in decoration is, an article 
gives you a resume of the work being done. 
Another article discusses painted shades—a re¬ 
vival of a quaint custom—and another takes 
up the use of Portuguese prints for wall decora¬ 
tions. The amateur decorator has a whole 
page of don’ts, a description of how to treat a 
stairs landing, a page of nursery furniture and 
one of upholstery fabrics, papers for the hall 
ECORATIONS 
The painted shade and the shade of 
decorative glazed chintz, now much 
in vogue, will be described in the 
April Interior Decorating Number 
IN APRIL 
and a little layout of suitable bedside lamps. 
In this issue is continued the series on three- 
year decoration for young married couples. 
The dining room is created by Mrs. Gerrit 
Smith. Gardner Teall writes on Intarsia and, 
of course, there is the Little Portfolio. 
With April also comes the awakened gar¬ 
dening interest. The Greek garden of Samuel 
Untermyer — perhaps the most remarkable 
garden of its kind in America—is shown here. 
There is an article on planning the grounds of 
a small place and one on starting the vegetable 
garden. As a fill up come directions for mak¬ 
ing a suburban rose garden and pictures of a 
small flower garden which was created in a 
single year. 
The prospective house builder will find in¬ 
spiration in the Italian house that spreads 
across two pages and the English home by 
Lewis Colt Albro. How to make a stone 
fireplace is another topic. 
There are others, but these few suffice to 
show the diversity of inspirational and prac¬ 
tical material in this April issue. The pages 
flick and flash with live interest like figures on 
a movie screen. It is an issue not to miss.
