House & Garden 
And Now—Spring Furniture 
Where’s the woman who doesn’t long to be a bride 
and build a home, new inside and out, for every 
shining May time? 
lo have no last year’s curtains, no year-hefore’s 
furniture—nothing but blue air, and a hillside, 
and one’s dreams! The 
Spring Furnishing 
Number

is full of little plans whereby the skilful home¬ 
maker may make the most of the house she has, 
and learn to live out-of-doors between times. 
There’s an article on terraces—fascinating transi¬ 
tions from house to garden—another on arbors, 
summer houses and trellises. What to serve and 
how to serve it when one teas out-of-doors—porch 
rugs in all their crisp quaintness—two pages of 
tea-wagons and bird cages and porch furniture- 
then out into the sunshine where everything is 
considered, from a tliree-volume Massachusetts 
flower garden to the humble lima bean in his lair 
behind the lattice. There are plans for an eleventh 
hour flower garden, too, for the family who move 
to the country when bloomtime is right on top 
of us. 
As for the woman who plans a home—there’s a 
Surrey cottage with its lovely wavy lines of shingle- 
thatch; there’s a Cape Town Dutch house, a bizarre 
adobe dwelling, and a modern colonial house with 
wistaria all over it. 
And inside—everything from glass doors to hooked 
rugs and slip covers, with a postscript in the way of 
Jack Barrymore’s irrational apartment where the 
walls are gold, and the woodwork’s green, and the 
floor is red —in tiles! 
And by the way, if you don’t reserve that copy now, at your
