HOUSE PL A N N IN G NUMBER 
W HOEVER called November “bleak" 
was without a copy of House & Gar¬ 
den. If the home can be made attractive 
enough, what matter the elements outside? 
This is just what the November House Plann¬ 
ing Number does. If your home is lovely al¬ 
ready, it will suggest a touch to make it 
more so. But if you are planning a home 
as well as a house, and there is a vast differ¬ 
ence, you will find suggestions contained in 
articles and illustrations that will make you 
forever glad you decided to consult House 
& Garden in the beginning. 
One of the great industries seriously affected 
by the war was the industry of building. 
People were forced to go without homes, 
and architecture and decoration for a time 
were at a standstill. All that is changed now, 
and the article on Post Bellum architecture 
will be as interesting to the layman as it 
will be of value to the prospective builder. 
In connection with this there are articles on 
Electrical Equipment Before Building, Mak¬ 
ing Kitchens Sanitary and a page of Cali¬ 
fornia Bungalows. These are becoming as 
popular in the east as they are in the west, 
so if you are contemplating a new home, 
there is a vast amount of material in this 
number for you to choose from. 
But it is the in.-ide of the house that is 
One of the interiors shown in the 
November Number 
made so alluring in this unusual number. The 
bachelor, who has always considered himself 
r. little neglected, has an article all of his own, 
and after reading the Bachelor's Room, no 
longer will his surroundings be a matter of 
indifference or chaotic disorder. 
In present day interior decoration we owe 
much to the art of Japan, and its magic is 
nowhere better shown than in the exquisite 
prints of her vari-colored birds. Gardner 
Teall sends an article on Japanese Bird Pic¬ 
tures that shows this art in all its lovely sim¬ 
plicity. There is also information on patios, 
Venetian blinds, an interesting story of South 
Jersey Glass and a page of unusual articles 
in the shops. Surely a number to be reckoned 
with. 
Nor is the garden forgotten. There is a 
page on the vegetable garden, and the second 
of the series of Rockwell Monographs. 
This time it is on the Cotoneaster, a shrub 
that is little known but so unusual and deco¬ 
rative that we are glad of this opportunity 
of giving more information about it. 
We believe that a dog is an integral part 
of a house and a garden and are continuing 
the series of dog articles. This month it is 
the wire and smooth coated Fox Terriers. 
Altogether a remarkable number when you 
consider the amount of information contained 
and its nearly two hundred illustrations. 
Such is the November House & Garden. 
Don’t forget it!
