A WORD TO THE HOUSEKEEPER 
Last year you had to take the second-best In your 
Improvements because the best was beyond the reach 
of your designers and there were no experts in your 
locality. 
House and Garden is the advisor you need if you 
contemplate improvements of any kind about the house 
or garden. It covers the field of decoration, furnishing 
and gardening with authority, artistic taste and pre¬ 
cision, and its purpose is to make the home more 
beautiful and more livable. The beauty of the magazine 
and its illustrations will be a pleasure for you, even 
If you do not plan any changes or improvements just 
now. Let your subscriptions start with August 1st, and 
include this helpful expert among your regular visitors.

YOU DO NOT KNOW YOUR OWN COUNTRY THOROUGHLY 
Unless You Read 
Through Our Unknown Southwest 
By Agnes C. Laut 
This book tells of the remains of one of the world’s oldest civilizations, antedating 
perhaps that of ancient Egypt; of the Cliff Dwellings, the Pueblos, the Navajo and Hopi 
Indians, and the National Forests—all within the borders of the United States. Every 
American who wishes to know his own country should read this remarkable portrayal of 
some of its greatest wonders.

^ Your Decorating and 
• Furnishing Problems • 
S O many inquiries have been re¬ 
ceived in HOUSE & GARDEN 
seeking hints and advice for the 
decorating and furnishing of houses 
that some time ago we made the ex¬ 
periment of organizing this work into 
a special department. 
We invite you to solicit our services 
regarding the perplexities of furniture 
arrangement and style; the proper 
treatment of walls; woodwork, floor 
coverings, lighting fixtures, and hang¬ 
ings appropriate to your need. We 
also wish to assist those living far 
away from the great shopping centers 
to get ideas of the new and interesting 
things that are constantly appearing 
in the beautiful shops of this city. 
We hope in this way to give auxili¬ 
ary information to that contained in 
the magazine — and to help practically 
those whom we have directed through 
our columns. 
Requests for any information should be ac¬ 
companied by return postage. The case should 
be stated as clearly and tersely as possible, 
giving enough data to make the requirements 
of the situation evident.
