AUTUMN FURNISHING IN SEPTEMBER 
W ITH September starts a bigger and bet¬ 
ter House & Garden. The child is 
growing. It will be almost man-size 
by the time this Fall Furnishing Number 
reaches you. The reason? Well, the best 
material available from decorators, architects, 
manufacturers, gardeners and landscapists is 
constantly being assembled. The next issue 
will always be better than the one you have 
in hand. That is House & Garden’s available 
future—it constantly grows more interesting, 
more practical, more inspiring. 
This September number, for example. Noth¬ 
ing could be more useful than a practical 
knowledge of furniture—what you should 
know about furniture before you buy it. These 
matters are clearly explained by Matlack Price. 
On another page are found furniture sugges¬ 
tions from the shops. 
If you have never considered picture hang¬ 
ing an art, you will when the definite rules 
are explained in September. Or if you have 
never thought of using the zodiac signs in 
decoration, you will find suggestions here. 
Of the many articles on decoration two are 
quite unusual—schemes for the decoration of 
offices and plans for furnishing a living room 
that must serve also as dining room. Most 
offices are forbiddingly inartistic, but these 
two are the acme of comfort and good taste. 
The dining-living room is also a feasible solu- 
A library of comfort and formal ease 
is shown in September 
tion for those whose space is limited. Prices 
will go with these pieces. There will also be 
prices on the pages of new fabrics and furniture. 
Prospective builders of all girths of purse 
will be interested in the large brick house, the 
Georgian Colonial, the Pennsylvania farmhouse 
and the little Dutch Colonial design shown in 
this number. Ventilating the house will be 
explained by an architect who understands 
all the secrets of air currents and the brick 
bonds will be explained on another page. 
The equipment articles cover the electrical 
laundry—the most modern addition to the 
household—and the electrical breakfast, with 
priced pieces from the shops. 
The use of non-classic sculpture in the house 
forms a fascinating subject dealt with in this 
issue. There are also two pages of old Italian 
gardens and fountains, works of master artists, 
that have many suggestions for the American 
garden. 
A new department makes its appearance 
with September—dogs. And if you don't en¬ 
joy these intimate studies of dogs in their re¬ 
lation to the house and grounds, then you do 
not understand these four-legged friends. Dogs 
will be in House & Garden every month here¬ 
after. 
There will be twenty-nine different topics 
on the September contents page. Only a few 
of them are mentioned here because August 
needs the space. But this is to be remembered 
—you will have a weightier magazine to start 
the fall—more editorial pages and illustrations.
