THE SMALL HOUSE NUMBER 
O N first thought one might say that good 
small houses were as common as Fords, 
or, to put it more precisely, as easy to 
find as Fords. But they are not, because the 
small house is a problem all in itself, not 
merely the miniature of a good large house. 
Yet, in this July issue, which you will want to 
preserve for future reference, there has been 
assembled an unusual collection of good small 
houses. They include brick and stucco and 
shingle. Their designs are mainly Colonial and 
English. In addition there is a little bungalow 
especially designed for tire readers of House 
& Garden. The architectural subjects further 
discussed are the details which make or mar 
a house exterior, and the use of whitewash 
for outside walls. 
Since this is to be a complete small house 
number, the ways and means of small house 
decoration are amply discussed. The most im¬ 
portant contribution on this subject is a series 
of specifications for the furnishing of a good 
living room. The bare room has been visual¬ 
ized and furnished in complete detail—rugs, 
hangings, furniture and accessories. One of 
One of the details that “make” a house 
is the entrance porch. Others are shown 
in July 
these rooms will cost $400, another $600, the 
third $750. The specifications are complete 
and the sketches show the finished rooms. 
The practical value of this article is obvious. 
In addition, to mention only the head liners, 
is an article on the lighting fixtures to choose 
for the small house, and another on Chinese 
wall papers, which are so popular today. For 
the collector comes an unusual article on net- 
suke and one on Lowestoft china. 
These subjects are only a few picked at ran¬ 
dom from a long schedule of topics that will 
be packed into the pages of the July number. 
An issue especially rich in illustrations and 
readily adapted suggestions, it should not be 
missed by the prospective builder or the deco¬ 
rator. 
As for the garden, there will be some more 
ways of preserving the wartime fruits and vege¬ 
tables. The war gardener, too, ought to know 
just when to harvest his crops in order to secure 
the highest table quality, and the July issue 
will tell him all about this. Next, Mrs. Strang 
has written another of her flower color articles 
and illustrated it with a detailed planting plan.
