g nel experts, poultry raisers, interior decora- 
g tors, antique and curio experts and shoppers 
g of whose services they can readily avail them- 
g selves. Questions in any of these depart- 
g ments and in any phase of house building, 
g house furnishing and gardening, will receive

THE SPECIAL ISSUES 
<3 "Every Issue a Special Issue” will be the 
editorial slogan for 1916. In this manner we 
can concentrate our forces to your greater 
advantage. And each issue will be better 
than the one preceding it, just as November 
is different and better than the October. The 
subjects you are most interested in may be 
“somewhere” in 1916 — the censor suppresses 
the place—but every number will be of spe¬ 
cial interest to you. They line up as follows: 
January —Annual Building Number ; Febru¬ 
ary — Garden Planning Number; March —- 
Spring Gardening Guide; April — Spring 
Building Number ; May — Summer Furnish¬ 
ing Number ; June — Garden Furnishing Num¬ 
ber ; July — Small House Number; August — 
Motor Number; September —Autumn Fur¬ 
nishing Number; October —Fall Planting 
Guide; November —-House Planning Num¬ 
ber; December —Christmas Gift Number. 
FOR DECEMBER 
<5 Once a year House & Garden makes space 
for fiction and next month that space will 
be filled by Mary Raymond Shipman An¬ 
drews. If you have read “The Perfect 
Tribute” you can judge what is in store for 
you. We also give way to poetry—not a 
concession, but a glorification. Joyce Kilmer, 
who said that he never saw a poem lovelier 
than a tree, will be represented. Following jjj 
that is an English house in an American set- M 
ting, by Davis, McGrath & Kiessling. Bart- B 
ram Harttman contributes an article on batik g 
hangings and B. Russell Herts writes of H 
how interior decoration is being used on the |j 
modern stage. There are eight pages of sug- |§f 
gestions for Christmas gifts and one of small |g 
bronzes. A short article tells how to use g 
copper and brass effectively and another gives |g 
directions for the decoration of the billiard g 
room. Williams Haynes, the livest doggy g 
man writing to-day, makes you smash the g 
tenth commandment every time you see your = 
neighbor’s toy dog. In addition, F. F. Rock- g 
well writes of orcharding and Leonard Bastin M 
of keeping cut flowers fresh. 
<1 This is only the bare skeleton. Look for jj 
it in the full flesh on November 20th. 
Incidentally, House & Garden used to de- §§ 
vote only 36 pages to its articles; it now uses g 
up 44. As against 75 illustrations of last g 
year we are now presenting twice as many. M 
And that’s only the beginning!
