THE NEXT TEMPTATION 
AMONG the reliefs to the winter of our dis- 
f\ content is thinking of how we are going to 
"*■ refurnish that country house for next sum¬ 
mer. It is a pleasure to spend hypothetical thou¬ 
sands even if, after all, we only buy new curtains 
for the guest room or a few new pieces of smart 
wicker for the porch. Being a magazine of con¬ 
stant domestic temptations, House and Garden is 
deliberately filled with all manner of alluring ideas 
for that house next summer. The time to think 
is now. As the issue will be on the newsstands 
by the 20th of April there will be ample time to 
study it, make your selections, and buy. Just a 
few of the temptations are— 
A page of new willow and wicker chosen from 
the latest stocks and with very reasonable prices; 
a page of new curtaining fabrics, equally enticing 
and equally fresh; a page of garden baskets that 
would make a Maud Muller of the most hardened 
city devotee. With these are suggestions for 
furnishing country cottages, showing two types of 
interesting treatments and a double spread of 
porches enclosed and open, and breakfast terraces. 
Then a splendidly suggestive article on arrang¬ 
ing furniture to the best advantage. For a filip 
come two pages of suggestions for painting floors, 
There is something immensely 
livable about Orchard Farm , the 
English country house shown in 
the May issue 
delectable floor color schemes that will give new 
interest to country house rooms. Feeling that 
these ideas were not quite enough, we have added 
an article on books in the guest room—a subject 
that has immense possibilities for delight in read¬ 
ing and the practice. 
And while we think at this time of refurnish¬ 
ing the country house, the country garden presses 
hard for recognition. Here again are temptations. 
After you have seen the pools and water gardens 
in this number you will not rest content until 
you have laid out a pool or run a canal the 
length of your lawn. Window boxes, another gar¬ 
den temptation, are illustrated with three unusual 
types. 
Have we mentioned the Italian patio? Or the 
article on Spring Cleaning? Or the beautiful old 
house from England with the glorious big living 
room? Or the collector’s article on Viennese lace? 
Or the house by John Russell Pope? Or the 
group of four small houses? Or the article on 
pines and how to propagate them? Or the Little 
Portfolio ? 
These comprise most of the temptations. The 
only way to rid oneself of a temptation, of course 
is to yield to it.
