“ . . . Please furnish me with plans , 
proper dimensions, and any other data 
you may have at hand for the building of 
a garden swimming pool . . .” 
T HAT wasn’t a woman’s letter, you can be 
sure—it was quite too short! It came 
from a man, and though he lived in 
Mexico City and didn’t know who the next 
Dictator might be, he did know what the 
climate was. And he needed that pool. 
The House & Garden Information Service 
rolled up its sleeves and went right to work. 
The excavation should be so long, and lined 
with brick in such and such a way. Tile was 
needed—and here were the names of five 
firms that made the right sort, each of which 
would send its literature. The gutter, the 
drain should be made after such a manner. 
Then there should be a hedge—and pots of 
gay-coloured flowers—and here, presto, a bril¬ 
liant striped awning flung across the whole 
bright rippling bit of coolness. . . . The only 
thing we made no suggestions about was the 
Mexico man’s bathing suit. 
If you’re planning to build—whether it’s a 
house, or a pool, or a garage; if you’re plan¬ 
ning to furnish anything from the entrance 
hall to the kitchen cabinet; if you're planning 
to decorate, or plant, to make new or make 
over— 
Novel Native Plants 
From the Sunset Coast 
Perhaps you have longed for a garden 
that others would eagerly try to imitate. 
You can have it by using various lilies, 
Mariposa Tulips, hardy plants and shrubs 
of California. With them you can de¬ 
light your visitors with gorgeous novelties 
from the other side of the continent. 
They are fully described in my catalogue 
of Californian Native Plants. 
Another catalogue, called Hardy Plants, 
contains a list of desirable plants from 
all corners of the globe. Either or both 
of these booklets may be obtained free 
upon request.

fi If you are budding or remodeling 
on COLONIAL lines do you not need 
the services of an expert in the selec¬ 
tion and arrangement of your furni¬ 
ture ? I will furnish your home with 
COLONIAL antiques or CORRECT re¬ 
productions selected for your individ¬ 
ual requirements. I will design on 
COLONIAL lines, furniture to be 
made in small shops where each 
piece receives the careful attention in 
workmanship that gave the furniture 
of COLONIAL days its charm of in¬ 
dividuality. I am ottering you ser¬ 
vices gained only by years of careful 
and intimate study of the subject. 
The cost of my services will be saved 
to you through my facilities for buy¬ 
ing to the best advantage. Commis¬ 
sions given personal attention in any 
part of the country. Write me of 
your furniture problems and we will 
work for “The right piece in the 
right place.”

While there will never again be great 
quantity of thick and sparkling gem an¬ 
tiques. I have that quality as ever. New 
rugs have advanced 100 per cent to 300 
per cent; good old rugs less than any other 
commodity, gold excepted. Such rugs are 
as staple as gold and always will be. 
CONGRESS STRUCK THE LUXURY 
TAX FROM ORIENTAL RUGS. 
I cannot interest Kermanshah admirers 
nor buyers of washed rugs. My customers 
own some rugs previously shown by plate 
in Hawley, Mumford, Lewis, etc. Half of 
500 wise buyers of America are on my 
books. If you would be a sincere lover 
and buyer of quality, write for further 
rug news. 
I prepay express everywhere of course. No 
obligation on anybody to buy. A personal 
descriptive list of my wonderful stock for 
the asking.
