House & Garden 
BEGINNING AGAIN IN JANUARY 
T HE wheel is back again at January—that 
wheel of issues which turns inexorably with 
the passing of each month. Scarcely is Decem¬ 
ber done when January follows it. Scarcel} - Janu¬ 
ary, when February comes in view. 
It would be a deadly dull and tiresome task to 
turn this wheel did not each twist give us a fresher 
view of life, a fresh and encouraging response from 
those for whom the w'ork is done—House & Gar¬ 
den’s increasing body of readers. And here’s the 
way the picture changes from month to month. 
Remembering these subjects, you can know what 
good things lie ahead in 1923. 
January is devoted to Building; February to 
Furniture, which follows logically after building, 
March, the Gardening Guide, for having built a 
house and furnished it, one begins to develop the 
lawns and flower borders and set out shrubbery; 
April, Interior Decorations—a report of what is 
being done by the decorators; May, Spring Furnish¬ 
ing, w - hen the house puts on its summer raiment; 
June, Garden Furnishing, when we prepare for 
living out of doors; July, Small Houses, for most 
of us wish a small house however large our purse; 
August, Household Equipment, which helps to 
Among the houses shown in 
January will be this one, built 
on a difficult and rocky site 
make the conduct of both large and small houses 
run smoothly; September, Autumn Furnishing, 
when the house prepares for winter; October, Fall 
Planting,- when we arrange the garden for next 
year’s burgeoning; November, House Planning, 
because November is an indoors month when we 
can study such problems as that prospective house; 
and finally December with its Christmas Gifts. 
These are the spokes of the editorial wheel as it 
turns from month to month. 
In the world of machinery a wheel does not 
generate power itself; it is part of the mechanism 
that conveys power. So is this editorial wheel. 
The power it conveys is vastly greater than any¬ 
thing it could generate. It bears the power, the 
means, whereby men and women can transform 
vague hopes into living and livable actualities. It 
helps turn the machinery whereby the house that 
one has dreamed of becomes the house one lives in, 
the garden one has longed to own becomes the 
actual and living border of rich and fragrant blos¬ 
soms. Because of this we enter upon the work of 
1923 with renewed hope. Because of this also more 
than a hundred thousand readers await each 
monthly turning of the wheel.
