House & Garden 
Do you know the charm of Line? 
T3ICH dim brocade on a wonder- 
*- fill old chair, the deeper glow 
of hangings, the mellowed Oriental 
tracery of rugs, the cool neutral 
background of a roughcast wall. 
Yes, this lovely room owes a grea. 
deal to its colour. 
13 UT it owes even more to its line 
—to the springing curve of the 
ceiling, the narrow clear-cut oblong 
of tbe doorway, tbe just proportion 
of the furniture, the originality and 
restfulness of the spacing and group¬ 
ing. 
The Autumn Decorating Number 
SEPTEMBER 
HOUSE & GARDEN 
Tells you how to give this charm of line to your own home— 
tells you in words, and by pictures that go all the way from 
the trees along the drive to the disguise under which an in¬ 
vestigating mind might discover the living room radiator. 
As to the house itself—the shell for all your treasures—there’s 
an English house, a Dutch Colonial cottage, and two Pennsyl¬ 
vania houses in sturdy stone. The leading article tells you 
just what you ought to know of furniture, its period, crafts¬ 
manship, and finish, before you and your checkbook go shop¬ 
ping. There’s a chat, too, on collecting crystal—another on 
the framing and hanging of pictures—a page of new fabrics 
—a lively discussion of the living room that whisks into its 
tablecloth and serves dinner under your very eyes—informa¬ 
tive articles on the electric laundry and the electric breakfast. 
When we come to think it over, there’s just about everything 
in this number of House & Garden from the Signs of the 
Zodiac as tamed by the liousecape gardener, to a page of deco¬ 
rated offices where really soulful business men spend their 
sophisticated hours. 
It isn’t money that makes the house beauti¬ 
ful—it’s knowing how. Read September 
House & Garden and you’ll see why. 
If you have a house that needs redecorating, be sure to reserve a
