Were is one o/ the simple, charming little bits 
of home-making pictured in House & Garden 
Cool white enamel and a blue Chinese rug—the sheen 
of a perfect floor—skilfully placed sconces—a hit of 
alluring color on a distant wall—and those fascinating 
zenana doorways behind which anything might happen 
to one— 
Did you ever stop to realize that the house of your 
dreams exists somewhere, down to its smallest, most en¬ 
chanting detail? It may he scattered over two hemi¬ 
spheres and three oceans. Some of it, perhaps, is still 
in the brain of the artist who is planning to make it. 
But much of it, undoubtedly, is in the 
Autumn Decorating Number 
SEPTEMBER 
House & Garden 
that tells you about everything for the individual house 
—your individual house—from the decorated door that 
opens on mystery, to the last predestined Hooverizing 
saucepan in the modern model kitchen. 
Do you want to know when to use crystal lighting fix¬ 
tures? Where to put wicker and willow in your winter 
house? How to make the most of your corners? How 
to put in a garden of wild flowers, or get the best hot 
beds and cold frames, or run a successful garden show? 
House & Garden has thought all these things into pic¬ 
tures and text for you. 
There are hospitable pages filled with real country 
houses—big ones to look at and little ones to love. 
There’s a delightful collector’s article on tea and an¬ 
tiquity that shows the antiquary at his lovable human 
best, and another on the unknown (because unappreci¬ 
ated) Louis Quinze mode. And if in all this your own 
personal furnishing problem isn’t solved, there’s the 
Information Service with its mind papered with ideas 
and its typewriter ready the minute your letter comes. 
It isn't money that makes the house beauti¬ 
ful — it's knowing how. Read September 
House & Garden and you'll see why. 
If you have a house or are going to redecorate a house, be sure to reserve a 
copy of this Autumn Decorating Number at your usual newsstand now.
