House & Garden JVill JVrite You 
If your taste inclines you to the English type, there are charming 
small half timber houses of simple lines and interesting window 
arrangement 
Are you building a country house, summer cot¬ 
tage, log cabin or bungalow? Or maybe a garage 
or a pergola or a playhouse? 
Are you remodeling an old house, improving it 
and enlarging it? Are you paving a terrace or 
fastening on a sleeping porch? Or is it a matter 
of a new coat of paint, a set of window boxes 
for the porch railing or maybe a fireplace for 
the living room? 
Ask House & Garden 
We can give you the names of architects whose business 
it is to make plans, and we can recommend interesting and 
helpful books on all phases of building. We can refer 
you to manufacturers of all the materials you will need 
in the construction you have in mind, and we will be 
glad to see that you receive their catalogs. In all your 
problems we are at your service.

Learn French 
In a Few Days 
We are at war—and France is our ally. French 
is now the most important foreign language for 
every American. Every man who faces the 
prospect of service in tile American army will 
probably fight in France. His chances for pro¬ 
motion, ins personal convenience, his enjoy¬ 
ment of tlie advantages of liis trip abroad, will 
be immeasurably increased by a speaking 
knowledge of French. Every woman who is 
interested in lted Cross work who wants to 
understand tire language of the country her 
friends and relatives will be fighting in, needs 
a knowledge of French. Everyone, whether di¬ 
rectly engaged in war-work or not, will find im¬ 
mense satisfaction in an understanding of the 
language of "Papa" JofTre and his great nation. 
When tlie war is over France will develop an 
enormous trade with us, and the man who can 
speak French will be in big demand. 
You Can Soon Become Fluent 
A little spare time daily makes you so—The 
Rosenthal Common-Sense Method of Practical 
Llnguistry will teach you to read, write, and 
speak French readily if you will devote ten 
minutes of your leisure time each day to this 
wonderful system. German, Spanish and 
Italian are just as easily learned by this method. 
FRENCH WAR TERMS 
A special glossary of French war terms has 
been prepared and added to this course, mak¬ 
ing it completely up-to-the-minute and of great, 
timely value in connection with tlie war. This 
feature is of especial help to men and women 
interested in the Army, Navy and Red Cross. 
Absolutely free, the booklet, "Revolution in 
the Study and 'reaching of Foreign Languages " 
winch describes tlie Rosenthal method fully. 
Send for the booklet now—you will be obli¬ 
gated in no way whatever.
