I T is lucky that House & Garden can follow 
the pageant of the seasons. One month, in¬ 
doors, another month out in the garden. The 
drama is full of change and action and romance. 
Spring has played her part and Summer his; 
now comes Autumn in a colorful role. The frost 
hint is found in the Autumn Furnishing Number. 
With some people Autumn merely means taking 
off the summer covers and restoring the usual 
dignity of winter hangings and rugs. But to a 
great many people it means much more than that. 
It means new hangings, new papers, new furni¬ 
ture. With something new in a room one starts 
the season fresh and clean. That is really the 
purpose of fall furnishing. And to help this 
scheme along with practical suggestions is the plan 
of the September issue. 
No house should be created all at once. There 
is more merit and pleasure in rooms that are fur¬ 
nished leisurely. Also the furniture in a house 
should not always remain in the same place—it 
should be re-grouped so that the room takes on 
a new aspect. This grouping is one of the im¬ 
portant subjects next month. Equally helpful are 
the pages of fabrics for over- and under-curtains, 
A study in the successful handling 
of stone comprises one of the 
features of the September number 
the new wall papers, and the less decorative but 
equally important suggestions for making the 
cellar and the bathroom inviting and up-to-date. 
There will be several houses in this issue—re¬ 
built city houses with many suggested facades to 
hide an old brownstone behind; a rare little gem 
of California work in the Mission style; a design in 
brick from Maryland; and a country house in Con¬ 
necticut that shows a fine regard for native stone. 
Of the interiors, one page will show the apart¬ 
ment of Miss Helen Dryden, as prim as that 
clever artist is herself; the apartment of the 
French Consul to New York, a study in the use 
of Chinese furnishings; and some boudoir porches 
by Agnes Foster Wright. The kitchen pages will 
consider furniture—the modern tables and chairs 
to delight a housewife and keep the cook happy. 
We can merely mention the fact that there 
will also be articles on the decorative value of 
French prints, on wood blocks and on collecting 
articles of the Japanese Tea Ceremony. Also sug¬ 
gestions for raising orchids as a hobby, and advice 
on wintering over pansies. 
It will be a full and busy book, a lively act 
of the House & Garden pageant.
