A gateway glimpse of the resi¬ 
dence of Jay Cooke, III., designed 
by Wilson Eyre it Mcllvaine. To 
be shown in the August number 
1901 — 1916 
<1 With the current issue House & Garden en¬ 
ters on its sixteenth year. The first number, a 
little magazine of forty pages, devoted twenty- 
six to the reader, giving him three articles and 
thirty-nine illustrations. Although we are still 
lacking the majority, the child is sturdy. 
<J The next issue—The Motor Number—will 
have for the reader forty-one pages of text with 
twenty-nine articles of interest and over 150 
illustrations. Every conceivable way in which 
the motor touches upon houses and gardens will 
be treated: the new models for 1917, collecting 
w'ild plants with the car, the latest appointments 
that make for comfort and hospitality, garages, 
the dog for the car, and a charting of the growth 
of the motor from its beginning to the present. 
The monthly feature, “A Little Portfolio of 
Good Interiors,” will specialize on dining and 
living-rooms. There will be two houses shown: 
one designed by Wilson Eyre & Mcllvaine and 
a farmhouse restored to its ancient beauty. 
Grace Tabor will write of lilies. Silhouettes 
will be discussed in the Collector’s Department. 
Deciduous Trees and Decorative Iron Work 
for the garden will be additional features. A 
compact little book, in fact, for the man to 
whom country living is the great idea, and the 
car a valued adjunct to it.
