•I Did you ever stop to think of the aims of 
House & Garden? Vogue tells the up-to-date 
woman what clothes to wear; Vanity Fair, what 
books to read, what pictures to see, what cur¬ 
rents of modern life to touch. In the same 
measure does House & Garden tell her what 
architecture to choose for her house, how to 
furnish it, and with what garden to surround it.
