House & Garden 
Would Alice Walk into Your House? 
H ERE’S a mirror with magic in 
it—a mirror that reflects a 
lovely room and makes it lovelier— 
framed and rosetted and placed 
with consummate skill—flanked by 
those charming crystal lighting fix¬ 
tures that carry the mirror-feeling 
into the room itself. The furniture’s 
all black lacquer. And what do 
you think the paper is? Why, sil¬ 
ver tea-chest paper, as sure as you’re 
alive!. ... If Alice leaned over that 
Chinese lily, she’d walk right into 
the room. 
That’s the kind of place House & 
Garden’s always showing you. No 
two alike; but all as interesting as 
they can be. You’ll find an unusual 
number of them in the 
Autumn 
Furnishing Number 
dated September 1st 
P erhaps you’ll be most interested in the article on 
the English cottage manner—or the rambling old 
house on Long Island done in the Early American feel¬ 
ing—or the two pages on the Italian spirit in a room— 
or the six unusual pictures of a California house where 
Spain and Italy and Early America live in the most 
amazing and decorative friendliness. 
There are three pages of sun porches and breakfast 
rooms, too, any one of which would ensure many happy 
returns of the day. There’s a thing called “Footlights 
and Furniture” in which a dramatic critic makes next 
winter’s play a lot more interesting because we’ll now 
be able to look at them from the inside ; and a talk about 
china as decoration; and a page of cornice boards (do 
you know the Hookon cornice?) ; and a page of new 
fabrics; and— 
But we can’t add a wing to this page. So you’ll have to 
take the rest for granted—the lilies, and the tulips, and 
the well-head designs, and the grapes, and the things a 
man should know before he goes to his architect! 
A lovely numher? Of course. 
But they all are.
