JULY — AND TWENTY-ONE! 
W ITH the July issue House & Garden ar¬ 
rives at the voting age. It will enter its 
twenty-first year. We hope to buy our¬ 
selves a birthday cake—just a medium-size cake, 
twenty-one candles and plenty of thick icing. 
This attaining our majority should lead to 
solemn resolutions, if this were the age for such 
things, but we are rather inclined to forego the 
repentance and expend our energy pressing on to 
bigger and better attainments. Between that first 
issue, which must have made the founder-archi¬ 
tects of the magazine feel like proud fathers, and 
to this busy, hectic month of economic transi¬ 
tion, the world has changed a lot externally, but 
the fundamental traits of human nature are the 
same. The basic human appeal on which House 
& Garden was founded has not changed in these 
twenty years. Wars and gigantic developments, 
discoveries and defeats, crime, fanatic legislation 
and the fall of kings—none of these happenings 
has changed in one iota the fundamental love 
of home, the love which makes it the ideal spot 
for the living-of a full life. A dining room in a remodeled Phila- 
But there have been changes in these twenty delphia house, from the July issue 
years, and the change has been a matter of degree 
rather than of kind. Taste has developed. There 
is an increasing interest in the proper decoration 
and furnishing of the home. Inventions have 
made the management and maintenance of the 
home more of a pleasure and less of a burden. 
In the garden world interest is spreading to a 
remarkable degree. To have a home without a 
garden is a contradiction in terms today. A gar¬ 
den has become a necessity and a knowledge of 
flowers the real test for the initiate in the home. 
As for the exterior of home—what changes 1 Cer¬ 
tainly we have moved farther from under the 
shadows of bad architecture in these twenty 
years. The small house, which used to be a 
jigsaw nightmare, has evolved its own distinc¬ 
tive individuality and the larger houses both in 
town and country are cause for just and merited 
pride. 
We like to feel that House & Garden has played 
an influential part in this lifting of taste from 
the banal to the beautiful. In fact, we know it 
has. That is why we are going to buy ourselves 
that birthday cake!
