THE HOUSE 
BEAUTIFUL 
A “House Beautiful 1 ' illustration greatly reduced 
“The House Beautiful” is an illustrated 
monthly magazine, which gives you the ideas 
of experts on every feature of making the 
home, its appointments and surroundings 
beautiful. 
It is invaluable for either mansion or cot¬ 
tage. It shows how taste will go farther 
than money. Its teachings have saved costly 
furnishings from being vulgar — on the other 
hand, thousands of inexpensive houses are 
exquisite examples of refined taste, as a result 
of its advice. It presents this information 
interestingly and in a plain, practical way. 
Everything is illustrated frequently in sepia 
and colors. 
“The House Beautiful” is a magazine which no woman 
interested in the beauty of her home can afford to be with¬ 
out. It is full of suggestions for house building, house 
decorating and furnishing, and is equally valuable for 
people of large or small income.
