CASTLES IN SEVEN CLIMATES AND A CONTENTS 
T he trouble with the castle in 
Spain is that it stays there in 
Spain. Most folks, when they 
dream of a castle in Spain, dream 
of a castle in California, or a castle 
on a rugged New England hillside, 
or by soft waters—in fact, anywhere 
but in Spain, For that reason Spain 
has been left out of the February 
issue, which is the Annual Building 
Number, and in its stead have 
been put the castles of several 
climes. 
There are castles in Bermuda— 
types of architecture that are suit¬ 
able for the American country 
house: castles in California, several 
of them: castles in New England, 
New Jersey, New York. There are 
field stone castles and clapboard, 
shingle and stucco. You learn how 
to beautify them with exterior lat¬

per chairs. You read how slip 
covers can become an all-year de¬ 
vice and transform ugly furniture 
into prepossessing. You learn the 
ways of draping a French door, 
shown in the same manner as the 
curtains on page 31 of this issue. 
The Little Portfolio will be there 
with its countless suggestions and 
inspirations, and an article on brass 
for the house and one on the small 
dining-room. 
The garden around the castle 
grows uncommon fruits and the 
newest flower varieties, and the be¬ 
ginning gardener learns there the 
whys and wherefores of soil. Al¬ 
together, a big book, crammed full 
of ideas and overflowing. 
This is an earnest of the good 
things that will follow all through 
Whth each number will be a new
