SPRING 
W HEN you think of Spring Furnishing, 
you think of new hangings, of furniture 
and decorations for that summer cot¬ 
tage or camp, porch furniture and all the little, 
fresh, gay-colored accessories that go to make 
a home pleasant to live in in summer. Think 
of these, and you think of the May House & 
Garden. 
The subject of decoration for a summer camp 
in the woods is amply considered with sugges¬ 
tive photographs and numerous color schemes. 
Many of them apply as well to seashore cot¬ 
tages, so that in the article the various kinds 
of resorts and retreats are covered. The article 
on using painted furniture for summer homes 
likewise carries a suggestive note, as does the 
page of porch furniture—the newest on the 
market—and the two pages showing the uses 
for a day bed. But these are only three of the 
decoration schemes in this issue. There is 
something on how to handle your books in a 
decorative fashion—for books are very deco¬ 
rative and help humanize a room—and another 
on dining rooms, with prices. We can also 
recommend the Little Portfolio in this issue. 
For the prospective home builder there is 
an excellent article on chimneys, a page of in- 
FURNISHING 
It looks very ancient, this outside, 
garden stairway—and yet it is quite 
new. You will see it in the May 
IN MAY 
formation about paint, stain and varnish which 
explains the mysteries and uses of each, a little 
remodelled country home called “The Doll’s 
House,” and rightly so, and finally an English 
home of very unusual architecture. 
The collector is well taken care of in May. 
She has Gardener Teall’s article on Mezzo¬ 
tints, illustrated with reproductions from some 
of the best private collections in New York, 
and another article on how a New York deco¬ 
rator who had a penchant for flower baskets 
collected everything that was in the shape of 
a basket. 
The gardening articles describe the neces¬ 
sary trees for the home orchard, the work to 
be done in the May vegetable garden and in¬ 
clude, of course, the Calendar. Refrigerators 
are also described in this issue—a succinct little 
rendering of the purposes and possibilities of 
this very necessary household equipment. 
Here we are, almost at the end, and never 
a word about the music room or the artist’s 
colony of remodeled houses or the full page of 
the outside stairs or the breakfast room that 
also serves for reception room. Well, there is 
so much in this next issue that we can’t de¬ 
scribe it all in 328 words.
