When Summer 
Comes In At 
the Window 
There are a good many 
things that ought to go out 
by the door. Now aren’t 
there ? Summer’s the time to 
simplify—to put away your 
heavy hangings, to take up a 
rug or two. It’s the time 
when chairs go into chintz 
and windows into muslin and 
rick-rack braid. 
And there’s a combination of 
wicker chairs and long 
shadows on the lawn and tea 
that is a part of summer out¬ 
doors—the part that a house 
contributes. 
You’ll find all the makings of 
indoor and outdoor summer 
in the 
Summer Furnishings Number 
MAY 
House & Garden 
^HERE are photographs of water gardens that will 
fill you with enthusiasm for this aquatic sport— 
even if you have to content yourself with sinking a 
wash tub in the ground, putting a little bluing in the 
water, and buying it a water-lily and three gold-fish. 
And then just to show that life isn’t all clipped hedges 
and still water, the editor suddenly became very prac¬ 
tical and put in a page of wicker and willow furniture 
all full of prices. And one on floors—English and 
American—and how to paint and stain them in un¬ 
usual ways. 
^ HERE are photographs of a summer cottage, all 
light wall-paper and ruffled curtains and hooked 
rugs and sunshine. And—for you know how beauti¬ 
fully the English do it—pictures of a country house 
in that loveliest of English villages, Broadway. 
If you are interested in sleeping-porches, you’ll want 
to read the article on them in this issue. And if 
you’re keen about houses and gardens, you’ll like all 
the general information from the article on Viennese 
lace to the garden notes and the conversation on 
“pines and how to propagate them.”
