ON S P 
E VERY time you refurnish the house or 
even just one room of it, you give your¬ 
self a new lease of life. For your home 
helps you to live and your state of mind de¬ 
pends very much on its condition. Spring 
furnishing is just as natural as buying yourself 
a new frock and hat; it gives you a new 
environment. 
This May number is planned to suggest new 
environments for the summer, and its sugges¬ 
tions run the whole gamut from slip covers to 
porch rugs. 
Rarely has there been assembled in one issue 
of this magazine such a variety of unusual 
pictures carrying so many sorts of interesting 
and striking effects. There’s that article on 
porches, there’s that Santa Fe house made of 
logs and plaster, there’s that apartment of Jack 
Barrymore’s tucked away in a city garret, 
there’s a house with Capetown Dutch archi¬ 
tecture and another especially designed for us 
by Lewis Colt Albro along the lines of an 
English cottage. On down the schedule we 
find an article on hooked rugs, which are en¬ 
joying a popular revival, and a page of un¬ 
usual well curbs. 
RING FURNIS 
Like a corner of Wales set down in New 
Jersey—the rock garden in the May issue 
H I N G S 
In the gardening pages you find a striking 
rock garden that looks like a corner of Wales 
set down in New Jersey; an article on the 
flowers to plant in the last minute garden, a 
page of pictures showing the whole process of 
growing lima beans and another making dahlia 
cultivation easy. 
If porch lanterns are what you want, here 
they are. If you plan to furnish a sleeping 
porch, here are suggestions from the shops. If 
your need is a tea table for the porch or a new 
rug, a dozen different suggestions are on tap. 
There are over thirty different topics of in¬ 
terest in this issue. We believe in the value of 
variety and the ability of pictures to tell the 
story with more speed and certainty than a 
lot of reading matter. Hence the constant 
array of illustrations, each one hand-picked for 
its practical and inspirational value; hence, 
also, compacted text and a quick turn of in¬ 
terest with every turn of the page from cover 
to cover. 
May we not, as Mr. Wilson would put it, 
suggest your making sure that you get this May 
issue by ordering early from your newsdealer? 
Thank you.
