Over twenty houses will be shown 
in the Small House Humber of 
which this is a glimpse of one 
SMALL HOUSES 
The small house is the average man’s ideal 
and the average architect’s bane. The average 
man wants one because it fits his purse; the 
architect is bothered with it because the good 
small house, he thinks, does not repay the labor 
it requires. It is like working on a jewel. How¬ 
ever, in the Small House Number there will be 
at least twenty small houses that are little 
jewels. 
<1 Besides them, John J. Klaber will write on 
“The High Cost of Extras;” E. I. Freese on 
“Planning a House by the CompassR. L. 
Hartt on using stained glass in the house; Miss 
L. Greenlee on “Early American Gardeners 
Williams Haynes on “BorzoiE. L. Strang on 
the “Brown Garden” and a number of other 
articles devoted to topics of July interest. The 
poem for the month is “Main Street” by Joyce 
Kilmer, a characteristic piece of craftsmanship 
from a man whose work is growing. 
<J Comparisons are usually illuminating. A com¬ 
parison of the editorial matter of House & 
Garden with the other magazines of its class 
for the past six months shows that the reader 
of House & Garden is getting more pages of 
editorial matter, more illustrations and a greater 
diversity of topics than in any other magazine.
