THAT INTERIOR DECORATION NUMBER 
W E hear a lot these days about balanced 
diet. Did you ever hear of balanced 
reading? And balanced magazines? 
Well, then, the April House & Garden— that 
Interior Decoration Number—is an example. 
There are three ingredients—good pictures, and 
informative text, good arrangement and a rap¬ 
idly presented variety of topics. . 
Start off with “The Country House Living 
Room”— a variety of types for various kind# of 
houses, together with color schemes. 
Then follows a country house—not too big, 
but big enough for the architect to produce 
striking results. Following on the editorial 
comes a collector’s article on couches and set¬ 
tees. The scene quickly changes to the house 
of Joseph Urban, the artist of the Metropolitan 
stage settings, and shows what he did with the 
interior of an old-fashioned house. At this 
poinfthe garden enthusiast gets two pages of 
pictures and text showing complete operations 
in making a war garden. Then back to decora¬ 
tion again, with an article on “Getting the 
Good Out of the Victorian”—every one of us 
has some Victorian furniture, and it has re¬ 
turned to popularity qf late. The next two

pages show a house in California, and this is 
a fact—some new evidence on George Wash¬ 
ington which proves that the father of his 
country was an amateur decorator as well as 
architect! Then comes new paper, the revival 
of the cornice and the Little Portfolio. Mc¬ 
Collom writes of melons and the shoppers pre¬ 
sent a page of benches and stools. 
The gardener next finds two pages of garden 
sketches by Rose—remarkable pieces of black 
and white work. Then the last of the articles 
on Spanish furniture. In the following four 
pages are articles on the use of the torchere, 
on built-in bookcases, a house in \ irginia, 
how to grow ivy, and a new brand of pottery. 
The Shoppers this month have specialized on 
lamps and shades—those necessary accessories 
to the completion of a room. And after the 
shopping pages are an article on what fabrics 
combine successfully in decoration, the War 
Garden Department and the Gardener’s Kal¬ 
endar. 
Altogether this number promises to be the 
star issue of the Spring. It is both practical 
and inspirational, a fine example of balanced 
magazine reading.
