Would You Have 
Done It This Way? 
It isn't a question of whether 
porcelain peacocks assume aloof 
attitudes beside a dish of fruit 
on your table. But is the sort 
of line and colour and nice 
regard for value that’s in this 
arrangement a part of the char¬ 
acter of your house? This isn’t 
the kind of thing that just 
happens. 
You do it after a good deal of 
thought and more experience. 
And sometimes you just profit 
by other people’s thought and 
experience. If there’s a room 
in your house, or a corner—or 
perhaps just a piece of furni¬ 
ture—that needs a suggestion, 
look in the 
Interior Decorating 
number of 
HOUSE & GARDEN 
In this April issue: 
''"PHERE’S an article on curtains, 
-1- first of all. Because House & 
Garden knows that curtains—espe¬ 
cially if they’re chintz — can do 
more to bring the quality of sum¬ 
mer into a room than anything else. 
And there’s one on American pot¬ 
tery, you know the kind, with en¬ 
gaging setters and hounds leaping 
up the handles of jugs, and some¬ 
thing strangely like the classic 
bean pot of New England to show 
you what turned on the wheel of 
the early American potter. 
ATINWOOD furniture for 
your house, and box-wood 
hedges for your garden are de¬ 
scribed in this number. And if 
roses and delphinium are your 
especial prides you’ll want to read 
the article on them in this issue. 
There’s one on garden walls and 
shelters, too, full of suggestions. 
And when it comes to garden gates, 
you want the kind t hat makes 
people sure, before they’ve lifted 
the latch, that they’ll like the 
garden beyond, don’t you? 
T HAT’S the kind the magazine 
shows in half a dozen beguil¬ 
ing photographs. Or, if you’ve 
only so small a want as some new 
note-paper for your country house, 
you’ll find it in this number, too. 
And even if you’re completely 
housed and gardened yourself, you 
might want a bird house, mightn’t 
you? And there are some in this 
House & Garden that would catch 
the eye of the most bohemian 
martin that ever came with the 
spring, and no thought of settling. 
You Mustn’t Miss This Number of House & Garden—It’s Full of Things 
You Want to Know and Things You Want to Do. It’s on Sale March 25tli.
