HOUSE PLANNING NUMBER 
T IME was when house planning was almost 
synonomous with building a new home. To 
a certain extent that is also true to-day, but the 
limitations on new construction work imposed by 
wartime conditions have so influenced the situa¬ 
tion that we long ago decided to make our annual 
planning number a number of remodeling, rather 
than of new plans from cellar to roof tree. 
So the November number will lead off with a 
big article on the remodeled house, illustrated with 
real before and after photographs. Then there 
will be two somewhat similar pages on the restora¬ 
tion of Colonial houses, and four other layouts 
each one of which is full of suggestions which 
can be adapted to individual house problems. 
Of course, these do not make up the whole 
magazine by a long ways. For instance, we are 
going to tell about mats and tapestries and col¬ 
lecting old Chelsea china, not to mention mirrors 
and bathrooms and a lot of the new and practical 
house adjuncts which the shops are offering this 
fall. 
We would be disappointing our readers, as well 
as ourselves, if we ever made up an issue without 
several timely features relating to the surround¬ 
ings of the house, as well as its exterior and in¬ 
A glimpse from one of the well 
planned houses in the November 
issue 
terior. One does not ordinarily think of Novem¬ 
ber as being a gardening month, but we have 
done a lot of searching through our inner con¬ 
sciences and have brought to light several ideas 
which we are going to lay before you. One of 
these has to do with the planting of trees and 
ornamental shrubs, so that they will be all ready 
to take their places in the landscape scheme with 
the return of the warm rains and sunshine of the 
coming spring. We are proud of this article, and 
of the pages which will show the garden in which 
the Leyendecker brothers gain some of the in¬ 
spiration which so permeates their paintings. 
Gardeners would not be gardeners if they did 
not dream during the wintry months of the flower 
joys which will be theirs with the return of 
warmer weather. Mrs. Frances King seems 
to have had this idea, too, for she has written for 
us an article which she calls “Summer Thoughts 
In Winter.” Every gardener knows who Mrs. 
King is and how she stands as a garden author¬ 
ity- 
So you see the house planning number is going 
to be one which is pretty well balanced. We 
have mentioned only the main features here; the 
rest you will soon see for yourself.
