TF your house hns a corner or two as it
A probably has that needs hiding, you can
discover from an article on screens in this
number how to accomplish it most decora
tivcly. A ND with the idea of being at your elbow
"Y- when you open your town house again,
this issue shows a page (of new upholstery
fabrics, and an article on curtain stuffs. Tho
shopping Department, meantime, has found
a lot of pleasant little tables just what any .
house needs.
THERE are delightful photographs of
Southern country houses, and some of
English libraries. And sonic interesting and
lovely Italian plaster decorations.
AND all sorts of gardens, of course. A garden
- in the shade, a garden in three levels, an
English topiary garden. Irises and Michel
mas daisies arc discussed at length.
AND is your garden famous for its pot-pourri
- and rose-water? You'd better try the
English recipes given for them in this issue.
There's no season of the year when yon depend more on House & Garden than
n the autumn. Your garden lias to he "closed" as thoroughly as your country
house and House &"Garden likes to bo at your elbow when you tie up each rose
hush. And it wants to be on hand when you get back to town and take an inter
est again in the house that you've hardly thought of all summer.
