CHRISTMAS GIFTS 
<3 “Christmas is coming!” So is our De¬ 
cember number, a regular Christmas stock¬ 
ing crammed with gift suggestions. The old 
problem of what to give is solved. Gifts 
for the house and the hostess, for the chil¬ 
dren’s room, for His room and for Her 
room, for the motorist, for the birds, gifts 
of dogs and gifts of birds—we have re¬ 
membered all of the house and garden. 
C! There are articles, too. Here is a page 
of jewelled snowflakes, photographed under 
a microscope; there come two pages of 
small clubs, a study of trees in winter, and 
new ideas on indoor gardening. A bach¬ 
elor’s country house finds a place, as does 
the revival of old Sienese furniture. The 
collector will be interested in a study of 
lighting since man first used a conch shell 
for a lamp, while everyone will enjoy Rollin 
Lynde Hartt’s “The Civilized Framing of 
Pictures,” and Harry Kemp’s Christmas 
poem, “The Going of His Feet.” A New 
England garden, an article on decorating 
playrooms, and the Little Portfolio of Good 
Interiors round out the issue.
