docs nnt need il. In llie work of reindeer herdinj? in his homeland he has l)ecn educated to an almost unbeliev-ihle decree by voice alone. X o Samoyedc tribesman ever .strikes a dog. In leading herds of deer across the trackless lun<lra and in defcntiing them against piTilalory animals the dog is said to perform tasks bcyoiuJ the wis-<lom and endurance of any other breed. With all his defensive strategy the Samoyede never becomes "snappy" and is always reliable as a child's comi)anion. There is no record of a Samoyede ever turning in anger ujuin a human being.

Tlie.se qualities of intelligence and endurance have led to the use of .'samoyede dogs as transport by most of the imporlant Eurnpi an I xpeditions to the .Arctic and the .\ntarctic. Samoyede ttam-; have made gk)rious history wiiii 11 ir( h-grevink, with .Scott, with Sliackle-lon in the Antarctic; with Nan.sen and with .'M)ruzzi in the .Arctic. The .American explorers Fiala ;md Ualdwin also used Samoyede team.s. Xan.sen"s story of his Farthest North with Samoyedes on the first Fram expedition is an epic &f dog valor that rings through the whole history of man's adventures in far places.

Mo.st of the Samoyede strains of England and .America arc related to veteran sledge dogs of

die several European expeditious They carry the true Samoyede traits of physical vigor anil si>len-did character, and are anumg the most desirable pets. They arc affectionate always but never fawning: courageous always liut never figliling except in defen.se; dignified always but full of jilay. Their outstanding virtue perhaps is their capacity for companion-shi])—their quiet, friendly manner in all surrtiuiidings. whether at home or abroad, on their own I>remises or on the show bench.

Snow-White

(rfiXTixri:n luoM I ' . \ C K \ S )

Tlie .' a loyc< • dog thrives in any climate. He can withstand Ihe bitterest winter weather. In suniiner, when he has shed hi.s woolly undercoat, his coarse outer coal seems lo act as protei iimi against the sun. The showy white coat is cared for without difficulty; il has no doggy odor and sridiim reijiures lialhing. The .Samoyede Idoks his best with less attention than most dogs. The .'samoyerle is not only an extremely hardy dog, but he is naturally well m;innered. He is nol nervous, not a persi.slent barker. In dog shows with a lliousand or more exhibits the Samoyede bench will be found the (juieUst of all. He can live in happiness and good health wherever he receives reasonably good care. His splendid body, built through llie centuries of hard work in the bitterest cli

mate in the uorkl, is easily kept in fme condition. The Samoyede seems not lo suffer many of the commoner dog ills.

The Samoyede is confu.sed in .some minds with the Eskimo dogs of Labrador and Greenlaiul. and tlie various breeds of .Ma.ska. But the Eskimo is larger than the Samoyede, weighing often SO to 100 jjounds, and is seld<im even half while. Gray, black and tan are tlie Eskimo colors, as also of the .•Maskan dogs. There are several while Siberian dogs somewhat similar in appearance to the Samoyede, but they are nirc outside of their own country. The Samoyede is the only Siberian <log imported for domestic purposes, and tlu- only .Siberian dog recognized ot'ficially by the .-\merican Kennel Club.

There is only one Samoyede

The underside of the graceful arch is pa inted with Light Ton Water-spar. And a built-in Blue Plate Glass Mirror in the dinette adds its own touch of smartness.

This bonk is the outRrowth of many years of research and experience and gives instruction invaluable to all di))z fanciers. In addition to telling how a dog should be trained, fed and kept in condition, the volume also describes the causes and symptoms of the diseases i)f dogs, as well as their remedies and treatment. T o which should be added instruction covering injuries, poisoning, etc.

\ \ I ' f ieii ioi ralic .'Vniericans are f i i*(] i ienl ly inclined to rc i ia i i l an insistence on " f o r m " as simhMsh aiitl alTtJclefl. i f we <r('l a t i l ing done, we don't much care how it is accom-lilishcd. In Knjrland. of course, the attitude is exactly reversed. Tile way in which any matter is conducted is f a r more important than the actual accomplishment.

As a matter of fact, good f o r m deservt^s more consideration than it receives over here, .After a l l , the correct f o r m f o r any ac t iv i ty—from horsehack r id ing l«> work ing advanced calcnlus—generally turns out to be the most ellicient. I t may bt; harder to learn to httid a go l f club or a drawing pencil the correct wa\ , but it is easier i n the long run.

There is no better way o f being sure that your chi ld learns the best f o r m than to send h im to a good lioarding school. Here he w i l l learn to master al l those accoin|)lisli-iiicnts wli icl i \ ( ) U uaiit him to know. He w i l l not have to rush f r o m r id ing lessons here to nuisic lessons there—with llie cd i iM - ip i en t dangers of too nmch hur ry . Instead, a l l of his aclivilies w i l l lie ceiilrali/.ed and Ills schciliiIc w i l l be arranged lo avoid overcrowding.

Schools today offer a wider variety of subjects than e\er before. Teaching requirements are higher than ever. Once you ha\e selected a good school fo r your son or flaugli-ter, you can be sure that not oidy w i l l he learn to study and lo play but he w i l l learn to do Ixj th in good f o r m .

A skin thats never fatigued— the secret of English Beauty

A / t e r d . . , of , . ,Kl .nd ...U.r, the Hu,U Bali n. . , . a t E,.«l..i l .ou. ^.ir, uutoi.l .d c o . p i « „ . . . t-.r ,t h . o . . . . . „ a M . Tar.l l . , a . . . . . M t . o n

D o N O T T H I N K foi" a moment that the simple regime the English gentlewoman accords her lovely complexion comes f rom lack of interest.

She's u p and away w i t h the field at dawn in the hunt ing season, surely—but haven't you heard o f the almost startling makeup she wears?

When you see her late in the evening, fair as a Fra Angelico angel rul ing a H u n t Ball, you realize that her fresh, unlined skin must have had her expert attention. For here is a charmingly wor ld ly , dashing person. . . . I f she needed hours to foster her beauty, you'd find her giving them gladly. But fortunately she and Yardley have discovered a better method. . . .

Her skin stays fresh and lovely, even i n her maturi ty , because she keeps the tradition of the simplest, most perfect beauty care.

Tardley's Lavender Soap, gentle and effective, fo s t e r s i t s d a i l y f r e shness . ( I t s f r a g r a n t , porc'deep cleansing is the way she maintains radiant clearness of skin.)

Tardley s English Complexion Cream r e cleanses, softens and lubricates. A s she ma-tures, she uses i t lavishly. O f t e n , i t lies for protection beneath the lovely powder she is accustoined to wear.

A n d Tardley's Poiedcr itself you ' l l find a th r i l l i ng cosmetic experience. I t ' s so fine, so

radiantly flattering and lastingly fresh. These are the essential aids — others f rom Yardley she adds as she wishes.

W h y not see how your o w n skin responds to agents of beauty equally simple, but how simply perfect? You ' l l find them wherever you look for fine co.smetics—along w i t h our rouge, lipstick, bath salts and other Mayfair-inspired to i l e t r i e s . A pleasant change t o exquis i te and unwearying English simplici ty!

A budget library

T h i s del ight fu l l ibmry i n the House o f Ye.irs is a perfect example of Sloane elegance at l i t t le cost. T h e inexpensive pine w.ills are a r ich background for the unpretentious but really charming fu rn i tu r e : Chippendale coffee Lable ($3 '7 .50) , l i ly chintz love seat ( $ 9 9 ) , mahogany open-arm chair ( $ 6 5 ) , w i n g chair ( $ S 5 ) , mahogany lamp stand ( $ 3 5 ) , and the newly smart hand-hooked rug ( $ 6 9 . 5 0 ) . T h o u g h Sloane budget furni ture costs no more than " jus t f u r n i t u r e , " i t has this great distinction: Every piece is m.tdc under the direction of the Sloane staff of designers in Sloane's own workshops.

The first step is to ijet together the right people for the right occasions. Of course they should he people who sjieak to each other or are apt to. Or have ahout the same interests. There's no use trying to mi.\ jieople who talk only husiness, for instance, with people who talk only gardening. Or people who ha\-e ( la-lii.-(l f o r one rea.-on or a i io iher . I f the League of Nations can't get away with it, neither can }'ou at a party.

Age has very little to do with congenial hosjiitality. Most men enjoy pretty young girls around, and even the staide.-t matron will purr under the attentions of an .Adonis. .A.lso, it is well not to entertain constantly in one little circle: such guests run out of talk too s:)on. Occasionally interlard old friends with new, or have a party where not a single old friend is invited. This helps a hostess' morale a lot—it gives zest to a party and she's neviT (|uite sure what the outcome will hi'.

Having .- elected the guests you want, date them hy j)hone and, a little later, remind them of the appointment hy correspondence. T h i s gives a chance to trot out your very hest .stationery. Mayhe it is just a note, or one of those engagement reminders on which you will fill in the guest's name.

Tea parties, dinner parties, dinner hefore the theatre, sujiper afterward, luncheons, j)arties for gue.- ts of honor, parties with a serious jiurpose—we could go on filling pages with the different kinds. Let's stick to the good old dinner party hecau.se, since .America is enjoying a Renaissance of hetter food and drink, the dinner party has come hack into fashion again.

I f you are taking guests to the theater, it is hetter to have a sim[)le su|)|)er heff)rehand or el e meet them at the theater and entertain after the show. It isn't fair to a good dinner to rush it for a rising curtain or fair to the play to troop in after the second act is well under way.

E L L . we're ciTtainly in for it now. clear! Here's a letter f rom Aunt

Sarah, saying she's coming all the way from her heloved Paris to visit us an^l w i l l prol)aIj]y he here for the hetter part of November, i f we can tuck her away somewhere. Imagine tucking away anything as formidable as Aunt Sarah! And do look at this, a letter f rom \our Mother. I t seems that the darl ing old minister who liaptized you when you were a baby w i l l he ])assing through New York in XovembiT and she wouhl si> apjireciate it i f we would do something nice for h im.

"Who's your letter f rom. I)y the way? Y<iur room-mate i n college I The one i n .Australia? He's coming back and wants to meet the fami ly , does he? A\'ell . the more the merrier.

' 'Don't l(M)k so worried, dear—I'm not going to coIlapM- anil Marie won't either. \ \ ' e ' l l break the news gently with a nice l i t t l e rai.se.

"Our French food's going to have t() be very French, however. Can't put anything over on . \unt Sarah. She'll know the d i f ference. We ' l l certainly have to give a lovel}' party for her. I know what we can have for dessert, anyway. Jean and Ray's Crepe Soufiles ought to I)e grand enough to impress even Aunt Sarah. But what on earth shall we have fo r the rest of the party?—and what aI)out the minister? Shall we ask h i m to come to . \unt Sarah's ]iarty or would he rather have a quiet, cozy bttle dinner wi th us alone? And what ahout George; is there anyone he would es-pi'cially like to see: and what would be his idea of a g(K)d meal? S'teak, French f r ied potatoes and chocolate ice cream? ^^'ell, that's settled—let's give it to him.

" L i t's make out the mi'nus right now. I think the minister would j)robably rather have a (|uiet l i t t l e dinner. He can te l l . \unt Sarah all about when he was in Rome. I'hey'll have a grand time together. Just

to give the meal an Ecclesiastical touch we'll start out wi th a Paradise cocktail. That ought to break the ice nicely. For the meal, Marie's ])otato soujj, duck stuffed wi th a puree of green peas, ghued turnips, a bottle of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Romaine salad and Pont-l'Eveque cheese, sliced raw pears in orange juice, Curac^ao with cookies, black coffei'.

have a delicious salmon and shrimp sou]), a big, thick, ju icy sti-ak. brown on the outside and very pink on the inside, with a bowl of Bearnaise sauce and plenty of French f r i ed potatoes, a carafe of our favorite red wine, a water-cress and beet salad, and thi- Itig melon o f chocolate ice ( ream accompanied by coffee sauce. Black cofl'ee of course.

'•.\unt Sarah's party we hope wi l l be I'renc h enough to satisfy her fastidious and experic-nci'd j)alate and }et contain some element of surprise. Let's make it a dinner for eight.

42 HOUSE & GARDEN

N every household, the arranging of flowers occa-ionall\' seems to become a bi t prosaic; every now and then some

fresh note is clearly in order. A figurine may prove to be a blessing as a new stimulus; a new idea around which to bui ld a bouquet. Af t e r a l i t t le , you w i l l find yourself looking at your figurines and visualizing just how well they can perform for you in conjunction wi th floral material.

Wlicn flowers and figurines are combined, the color o f the latter is the one toward which to bui ld . W i t h a varicolored subject i t is best to repeat several of the colors i n the flowers. However, it is advisalile not to have equal amounts of colors i n the bouquet. Th i s blending of the center of interest wi th its petalled accessories w i l l keep the arrangement a complete unit. A monotone floral setting. rei)eating the tone of a terra-cotta statuette, is handsome in pinkish hued flowers; or a blanc Jc rhiijc figurine is lovely surrounded by an a l l white bouquet.

I n the placement of flowers in this type of arrangement, the figurine w i l l usually suggest the general l ine of direction to follow. B\- bui lding to this mowment with the floral plan, the design of the figurine is stres.sed. I t is usually wi.se to couiUer-balance the vertical floral mass by a flower grouping in the foreground. A more finished arrangement results f rom this idea of both foreground and background placement of flowers, tending to relate the figurine to the floral units. A t times the flowers may be secondary in mass jiroportion to the figurine. But the effect of a t iny figurine combined wi th large blos-om-i f often more decorative, takini,' on the feeling of a Pillement chinoi.serie or a Louis X V pastoral.

The floral forms are more effective when not too massed in

F K E S H X E S S an. l iii<lividuality in a flower arrangement may be

iH-liicved by choice of i) lanl material and selection of containers.

I iiiitrast to the solid uni t of the figurine. I t is best to consider ilic general mood of the figurine in the choice of flowers. A fragile bit of sculpture calls for fragile bkxmis and delicate jilan in arrangement. The more solid statuettes can be embellished wi th less subtle forms. Grasses, tendrils, leaves and young shoots work i n very well to give a variety of form. By removing the leaves on the flower stems, too, one can avoid cluttering the composition wi th unnecessary units. Very often the rural charm of grasses, Ijccause of their delicate tracery, w i l l do more for an arrangement than any of the other growths.

Oiled clay or jiutty is helpful as a flower holder. By taking a small lump and puncturing its surface, one can get away from the often obvious evidence of the frog, esi)ecially in the foreground of the com|)osition.

This definite bit of decoratitjn w i l l prove to be a very pleasing design; a new accent in fioral arrangement. .-Vmusing, yes, and attractive as a focal point in the room.

.\nother variation from the usual is found in bouquets o f leaves. There is i n them a freshness of appearance and a cooling interest, a complement to a room's inanimate accessories. And though the leaf buutjuet has been {Continued on page 102)

fa l l into two dis t imt cla.-;.<fs—ilinsr wh i rcli>h l i f e in and tho.se who demand it in gulps.

Ti l l - latter are like the farmer on l lu ' I ' j i ,L i l i>h estate. The master was g i v i i i L ^ his farm h e l j ) a Christmas dinner. He | i idvi( | . (l plenty nf lieef and lurkey and heer and deep-dish pies. Then, to toj i <iff the (•(d'fee. he venturul to ,uive them Benedieline. The yokels wondered at the mic roscoi)ic gla.sses and f inal ly tossed them off. Tt) one farmer i t w a s just about the !.irande>t d r ink tb.it had ever i one down his throat. He caught a waitress hy tlie sleeve and said. "Here, lass, hring me .some of that in a mug."

Wel l , there are some things in l i f e you dr ink out o f mu.i s and enjoy full- throated and deep, and there are others f rom w h i i h the relish tlees i)reci])itately i f >'ou gul j) them; a n d one of the.se is wine.

A M : \ \ S I ' . \ I ' I ; K columni.^t recently handi'd down the decision that .Vineriians w i l l iie\er become wine drinkers

Th i s m a y he true of s o m e jieople. I t m a y he indicative of the and grah and confusion of lil"e in great .Aiiieriian citie-. Hectic hurry, hreak-neck sjKed. noise and lots of i t . Vet on every hand we see communities and a.<<ociations combating this very gulp tendency. They are d i ' S p e r a l e l y t ry ing to slow down the maniacal sjjeed on otir highways, tone down the noi.se on city streets and ciiuntry roads alike, and the medi-c;il profi'ssion is constantly j iointing to the mounting death lists of men and women i n their fil'ties. Sciente has lenmheneil l i fe . Iiut it has lengthened i t at the other end: we are saving more hiihies, hut the s|)eed of our work and l i v ing is k i l l i n g off more pi'ople in middle au'i'. Those who si'c the p r i c e being p;ii(| warn tis to slow down, to stop gul | ) ini i . They say that the .American | ) eop le should ha rn to lake l i f e slowly, to enjoy it in sips.

ON K of the differences between American and older c i v i l i z a t i o n s is that t h e .American takes his drinks standing

up ; the older and wiser peo])le take theirs si t t ing down. I t is the difference between an .American leaning against a bar for five minutes and a German lingering an hour over a seidel of beer or a Frenchman over a iilass of wine. Perhaj)s w e .Americans have to learn how to talk while dr inking. W'c have to cultivate the habit of bibulous conversation.

Granleil one h a s health and ((>m |)anion;ible friends, t h e three otlier necessary comiioneiits to enjoyment are food and dr ink and conversation. Of food and conversation w e Inive no spai e to dilate on here, because our main concern i s with dr ink. Esjieciall}- with wine.

T o many .Americans wine is a mv.stery. They either know nothing about it and hence avoid .êrvinn it . or do so i n fear and trembling. Or el.-e the\' know a smattering about i t and .- o strut their scant ac'|uaintanceship a s to cast a cloak of

hnutcur around wine and wine drinkinij; that gives the rest of their friends a marked The.<e amateur wine | i . rt- so far have doiu- a fa i r ly iiood job (if t a lk in i ; the Amerit ;in [leople off wine. They and the price of wine. They have m.ide wiiu- d r i nk ing a precious custom

f(ir the few ; i n ( | the price has made it prohibitive for the many. Alake wine d r ink in i : ; i n ordinary habit, ami i t soon sheds its my>tery. There i> nothiiiL; more com]ilicated about wines than there is abnut Ruses.

Ti) some people all Roses are the same—they arc just Rn-es. Tet a m ; i n or woman start growing them, and he soon be

comes fascinated wi th the various kinds and how the\' grow and wlien the}' bloom and how they should be cared for. Ue-cau.»e i t believes that growing Roses is a habit conducive to hap|iiness and health, the .American Ro.-e So< iety sets up a.- its .<l(iL:an. '".V Rose for every home, a bush bir every garden.''

.Siiinelhing like this should be evolved by those who be-lie\e that -Vmerii ans must learn to take l i f e shiwl}'. " . \ ( a r a b -

on every table" is not a bad slogan. X o r i> the inli i i i te \-ariety of wines, once oiu' li:is i 'mli;irked

on the enjoyment of them, an\' less fascinating than Koses. To know the difference between a Claudiu.^ Pernet hybr id lea and : i Countess A'andal. between ;i clu.-tiT Ro>e and a n IrTsh single, is a l l part o f the Rosarian's enjoyment. 'To know the dilfereiue between wine> and their vintages rei|uires n o more intelligence than do Ro>es. .And, like Roses, one .-hould a l ways be able to enjoy them.

Too many |)eople believe that wine is only for extra fu casions. Too many Americans, when they go to buy wine, aspire to

buying o:dy "i ire;i t" wines. What we need a i \ ' ordinary, sound wines for ordinar}- onasions and ordinary |)eopIe. 'The i a i : i f e on the table should be no more an object for comment or j)ride t lnin the .-;ilts and i)ep])ers, and certainly should .>êrve no more unusual a purjiose. 'There is : i time ami phice for great wines, just as there are occasions and j)l;ices for ])arty dres.ses, white ties and tail-coats, but most of us aren't wearing them all the time. W'e need wines that go wi th soft collars and business suits. We need wines that f i t the ordinary- pot kethook :ind can be used meal after meal.

Throui^hout the ages wine and food have been natural companions. 'The one adds to the enjoyment of the other and the two. working together, bring on the glow of comfortable hajipiness that follows. Neither food nor wine can really be relished i n a hurry. 'They both reiiuire time to make and |ire-pare and the\- both are deserving of time i n their consumption.

I n all the books about wine you w i l l read that in serving it the glass sluaild be hlled only l i t t le more than half-way. T h i s is to al low room for the houf|uet to ri.se and be enjoyed. I t might al.ô be lidded to the sum total of wisdom of tho.se who reli.-h l i f e temperately that the carafe .should never be emi)ty and the glass never entirely f i l led .

But, in si)ite of all the colorful descriptions and enthusiastic recommendations which are constantly being published alx)ut them, there is a strange reluctance on the part of the American gardening pul)lic to grant these plants a place in the garden. Some of the ven-best of these new varieties are s t i l l much too l i t t le known.

There is always, of course, a certain risk involved i n plant ing a new plant wliicl i may have special rec|uirements not known to us. I t is easier to fo l low the line of least resistance and to get instead an old and trusted, although frequently inferior \a-riety. But wit luiut r isk there can be no progress, and is not the fascination of t rying something new a reward in itself?

A good example of the sad indifference of a large part of the gardening public- is sui)plied by the M<Kkoranges {Phihuhl-plius). Fre(|uently nurser\'men fricmls have com|)lained to me that people are ordering Mockoranges f rom them without specification of the k ind , sometimes by the

hundred lot. A l l they are interested in is the price, which must be the lowest possible. They do not realize that there are more than 100 different species and varieties of Philadelphus in cultivation f rom which they might choose a different one for each of a hundred different purposes; and that the newest and best kinds, naturally, are higher priced and are worth the higher j)rice. S t i l l less are they aware of the fact that some of the new hybrids—originated Ijy the famous French plant-breeder L e -moine—are as f a r su[)erior i n beauty to the common sjiecies as our ganli'U Roses arc superior to the w i l d Brier. There are varieties which are so floriferous that tlieir leaves and branches actually disaj^jiear under tlie snowy white blossoms, and the flowering period has been so f a r extended that it is possible now to have Mockoranges in ilower f rom late in M a y un t i l the end of July and even the beginning of August.

One of the very best varieties, and one that is readily obtainable everywhere, is the h_\-brid Philndclphus vir^liidlis N'irginal, wi th large, semi-double, sweetly fragrant flowers which are produced in the greatest ])rofusion. T w o others of more recent o r i gin, which may be mentioned as outstandingly fine, are: P. polyanthus Favorite and P. cymosus Atlas. Both of these, however, are just commencing to get into the trade and are s t i l l diff icul t to obtain. Favorite has single, cui)-shaped flowers, while the llowers of Atlas, which are single, open flat and, reaching over two inches i n d i ameter, are the largest i n the genus.

Very beautiful , furthermore, is the hy-I i r id Phihidrl ph us purpurco-viarulat us. also originated by Lcmoine. From one of its parents, the western American coul-trri, i t has inherited the striking purj i le lilotch at the base of each petal, which is a great asset; but, unfortunately, most of its forms have also inherited the tenderness of this species. Only one of them, Belle t t o i l e , proved itself perfectly hardy during the severe winter of 19.3.5-.34, and therefore deserves to be noted as the i est of this group, so far.

I\ Auii) countries the art of gurden makinif is design-conscious. I t has to be, because the character oi" the land de

mands it. I n the wet climates of the eastern United States and England a garden can get along without design i f need be, and .-^till have considerable success, for Nature is satisfyingly beautiful in itself. But i n the dry climate of the Mediterranean and our own Pacilic Southwest, Nature is austere and uncompromising. ' I he fields are brown much of the year, the landscape is without intimacies. Nature is not vulnerable in these countries: you cannot go out and bring its Ix-st features into your own small plot of ground, because the best features are space, and distance, and strongly colored mountains silhouetted against a sharp sky.

The naturalistic treatment is wiak and ineffective in such a setting. Only i n exceptional ca.- es docs the surrounding country offer inducement as a model to be copied, and to attemjit a reproduction of an eastern land.scaj)e is imwise under adverse climatic conditions. The imitat ion looks obvious and does not ring true. I t is far easier, as the Mediterranean ])et)ples have known for centuries, to make a success of a f rankly man-made garden ba.sed on a v i r i le man-made design. Any plot of ground allowed to show the accent of man"s hand and the f u l l power of his brain achieves a character and distinction rarely attained by a simulation of Nature's aimless vagaries. I n dry c l i mates the only sure road to .success is to abandon the romantic ideal of the n'aturali.'^tic English style, view the limitations with a realistic and rather practical eye, and set out to create something of sincere worth wi th in them.

I he gardi'n I'uilder who, instead of invi t ing Nature into his private scene, more often shuts out the surrounding fields, has a special proljlem. His problem is pr imar i ly architectural , since he starts f rom scratch and cuts his picture out of whole cloth. Working wi th materials (|uite diffiTcnt f rom tho.se of the gardener in moi.st climates, he depends more on permanent structures for his effects, on walls and pergolas and ornament of Ijrick and stone and tile, than on |)lants alone. Not that he d«x'sn"t t ry for lawns and tlower beds; but in southern Cal i fornia where the development of st}les through t r i a l and error may .serve as an object lesson, the trend is turning away from the.se lu.xurie.s—in any quantity, at lea>t. People have discovered that they are expensivi- and diff icult to keep in good condition and, under the recent inl lux of inspiration f rom Spain, that more charming effects Ijetter suited to the landscape can be had without them.

The garden made under a hot sun and watered by hand is ;i very personal affair , built on a wholly human scab', based on a geometric plan, la id out wi th T s(|uare and triangle, it is developed l.iy axes and cross axes, terminating features and accents. A n d after the rules of balance and symmetry have been learned, thoroughly absorbed unt i l they are part of the builder's unconscious equipment, then he must learn sti l l fu r ther, to know enough to break them when occasion demands it. And occasion rather frequently demands it. i f the garden is to have warmth and charm and informal i ty . I n order to combat the innate fear of formali ty , which is the- special property of a race of nature-lovers bred in the {Conlimied on paj^c 99)

Sites and neighborhoods

L.\si' inunth \vi- left off l.y .-ayiiii^ th;it licforc you .start l iu i ldini i a home you should first look up your <;riind])iircnls. Having <onipK-tod this investigation into the .sort of person }ou are—which w i l l helj) decide the .sort of house you want-— the next step is to find the neighborhood that offers the highest percentage of cjualities you consider c!esirai»le. ' I he followitig slrp is lo .search for liie site tli:it w i l l suit the type of house you have set your lieart on bui lding.

Of course, very few of us have the chance to .select the exactly jierfect neighi)orhood or the ideal site, ^ 'e usually have to s(|uee;ce our dreams into the restricted mould of realities. By investigation iieforeharul, }ou c;in avoid regrets. I t is better to |)revent a headache than to live with it.

Get a sheet of pajx-r and mtirk off two columns. Head one ••What the Xrighborhooci Must Offe r" and head the second "Other Things We Hope I I W i l l . " ' 'J'he sort of fami ly you

have and the kinds of persons they are w i l l cU'ti-rmine into which column goes what.

C i i i i . O K i ' . N ;in(l tlieir opporlii i i i t ies for good lii'aUli and S(hooling are invariaidy the first lonsideration. But isn't it often true that our .selection of a neighl)orii(K)d and a siu- is more inlluented by children than by parent.-? Sometimes we .Americans do too much for our children—and the ••old man"" iiimes tagging along at the end.

So you w i l l j)Ut in either of the columns you si't down the fo l lowing:

A. H K A I . T I I . ( 1 ) Water Sup|)ly: is it jiure and is there plenty of it? ( 2 ) Sewerage: is there a town .sewer or septic tank? (.•>) Doctors, I)enti.<ts and Hos])itals.

(4 ) Fire Protet-tion and Insurance: where are the nearest fire j)lug and fire station? What are the insurance rates? ( 5 ) Servants: what k i n d are available by the week and by the day? At what wages? (6 ) Transportation: proximity or frei |uen(\' of car, train or bus service. Cost and comfort of transportation. W i l l an automobile be re(|uired to get to the station? Does the .station have free])arking space? Are taxis available? Is there a good service at ni.yht? Where is the neare.' t repair garage?

(2 ) Churches: Denominations and proximity and social l i f e . ( 3 ) Clubs and Cultural Chances—Is there a l ibrary? Theatre? .Movie? Woman's Club?

On page 77 of this issue w i l l l)e found an article on which are tables the Government u.ses to chart pro])erty values. These sh(juld also be consulted as you fill those two columns.

H o w are you going to olitain this information. ' The real-estate men should have most of it at their finger tips.

^ X ^ i i . N you have finished llie neighborhood (|uestions. you make up another sheet called "Site." Some of these items may repeat the Neighborhood (lueries. but don't skip them. Also no-matter wh;it l} pe of house you intend to build on this site, you ' l l have to answer the same (lues^tions. So— (A) Gi:\ERAL.

Rabbits as a feature for

the small country place

T i l l- : rabbit is the Dahlia of the i |uai l ru-peds. I n size and color i t ran.ues from

the three-pound pure white Polish toy to the lifteen-|iound Black Flemish Giant. Hetween the two are rabbits of practically ever\- hue in the spectrum and a great assortment of mixtures and markings. A n d like the Dahlia it has a host of enthusiastic devotees, mo.st of whom are openly (or secretly) concerned with the rabbit as a, >ource of revenue. This is not the angle f rom which I am .going to approach the subject here, however, but f rom the point of view of the rabbit as a decorative diversion on the <m-dU place: as an entertaining pii.'itime and an opportunit}' to include in the layout of the grounds a minor but attractive item of architecture. There is alretidy plenty of reading matter on the rabbit industry as an enterprise for profit. Here I shall consider the creatures and their f|uarters oidy as objects of pleasure and ornament.

The building in which rabbits are raised is called a ralibitry, but rabbit house would do i f you prefer. The comjjartments for the individual rabbits :irc called hutches, and the wired enclosure in which \ oung rabbits are allowed to run is known as the developing pen. Warren would be another name for rabbitry. but i t is never used, and I don't know whw There is no .-\ nonym for hutch. But the names of the various units are not as important as the construction and appearance; and as the comfort of the animals and the convenience of caring for them w i l l depend upon the wa\- their <|uarters are designed and built , and as the degree of pride you take in their establishment w i l l be determined by the way it looks and works, these are matters thtit demand, in miniature, the same .skill and taste which go into the making of a humanry.

.\ rabbit under six months is a junior ; over that a senior. The male is a buck, the female a doe. A pair is a buck and a doe, a trio one buck and two does, and a pen one buck and four does. A lot of rabbits is a herd. Giving birth to a litter is called k ind l ing .

COMPACT simplicity, a place for everything and everything in its most convenient place, is the basis of the kitchen planning theory. The following

paragraphs wi l l give the reader the fundamentals of this theory; the practical results may then be observed in the illustrations on the ensuing pages.

The up-to-date kitchen, whether small, medium or lari;e in size, is planned as a unit, with all component parts welded into a harmonious whole. Its size wil l be determined by the average number of persons for whom meals must be prepared, and by the number of persons who will work in it. The aim of the planner should be to reduce the floor space in the center of the kitchen to an efficient minimum in order to save steps.

The distribution of equipment begins with the placement of the range, the sink, and the refrigerator in proper relationship to one another. Around these three elements are grouped the cabinets, work surfaces and accessories appropriate to them. In planning parlance these groups are known as the "range center"", " sink center" and "refrigerator center".

With these centers established—usually in the form of a triangle, with the centers equidistant—whatever vacant wall space remains is used for counters, base cabinets under the counters, and wall cabinets above, thus forming a continuous '"lining"" around the walls. The height of the counters is kept constant at about 36 inches from the floor and the range top and sink conform to this level.

The space intervening between the three principal centers is planned to afford such supplementary conveniences as are needed to make the kitchen functionally complete. The following arrangements are typical:

A counter section of v/ood placed near the sink and range centers, for cutting, paring, chopping, etc.; a drawer for bread storage near this section, and a knife rack on the wall above it. This section may ha\ e an open space beneath it so that the worker can sit comfortablv close to the counter.

Above or below the counter where beaters, whippers and grinders are to be used, there should be storage space for dry groceries, flavorings, etc., and for mixing bowls and beater attachments.

A broom closet is often an essential and may be balanced, at the other end of a cabinet installation, by a clo.set of the same size equipped with shelves and hooks

for storage of pots, pans, and large dishes, and with grooved racks for dining table boards.

A planning desk is a useful addition. Here are kept the cook books and file of recipes, a telephone extension, and the kitchen accounts. Planning and ordering of meals is simplified by having everything pertaining ti) the kitchen's "paper-work" centralized here.

In modernizing an existing kitchen it is often possible to achie\e a plan and arrangement in no way inferior to that of a new kitchen. The following de\ices are useful in bringing about this result.

Where the old kitchen is obviously too large, its size may be reduced by (a) creating a dining alcove partly partitioned off from the kitchen; (b) using the extra space for a pantry, store room, downstairs lavatory or household office, depending on the space available; (c) moving a partition so as to throw the extra space into the adjoining dining or living room.

Slight changes may also help the arrangement materially. It is often possible to arrive at a very satisfac-Idiy .solution through such simple expedients as moving a radiator a few feet, adding some pipe to the plumbing lines to bring the sink to a better position, or changing the hinges on a door from one side to the other.

It will be found that modern equipment, whether ranges, refrigerators, sinks or cabinets, is made in such a variety of stock sizes that a practical, compact, and attractive scheme can, with a little thought, be devised for any kitchen.

O N T H E C O V E R S , front and back of this supplement, you will find suggestions for planning, or re-planning, your ideal kitchen. In the following pages arc presented typical solutions of kitchen problems. In every one, the units (ranges, sinks, refrigerators, cabinets, etc.) are carefully drawn from actual pieces now on the market.

The legend below indicates the meaning of the colors in the plans on the next three pages.

The open space under the counter at the left permits the worker to sit and be com-toitable; the broom closet at the right serves to tic together the horiztmtal lines of the units—including the open shelves where dry groceries, condiments, etc. are always within easy reach

S M A L L The kitchen plans shown in black on these pages have been carefully worked out to suggest ways of planning, or re-planning, an ideal kitchen for your house. They will bear close study. Above is shown the plan and range center of a small cottage or apartment. Beside the -l-burner gas range are shown slots to receive large trays (may be bought or built) and inexpensive paneled cupboards. A recessed fan ventilator is shown .ibove the range, over the rack for saucepans and covers

Above it is a stainless metal hood and rece.ssed fan while at the left a pot closet provides ample storage for cooking utensils. The wooden cutting counter at the right has, above it, a rack for knives and other utensils constantly in use. The plan shows a pass door cut through the wall between kitchen and pantry and a supplementary sink and refrigerator in the pantry

This center comprises: a range; a coun

dishes and pans removed from the

range; a pan closet for pans, roasters,

etc., and for utensils used at the range;

wall cabinets for storing cooking dishes,

dry groceries and condiments in con

Si v i E D I U M Convenience is the keynote of the modern kitchen nd these plans and drawings show how easily it can be achieved, n the sink center above, a tall closet, for dishes, plates, etc.. is

placed conveniently near the sink. The latter is of white enamel with .1 steel base containing drawers and cupboards in which to keep dishpans, cle.inseis. brushes, etc. The flooring is carried up in a cove molding to the cabinets and waIN to f.iciliiate cleaning. A bieakf.ist room is planned adjacent to the kitchen


M E D I U M Rffii.ncratoi' doors arc always specified to swini:: in the more convenient direction. T o the right of the electric re-fri^;erator above stands a ventilated cabinet to hold fruit and vegetables.

L A R G E The gas refrigerator above is flanked by a convenient counter, a bin for the storage of fruits and vegetables and ample cabinet space. A sliding panel in the wall connects the counter, through a pass-door, with the breakfast room (see plan) in which there also stands a planning desk. An ironing board that folds into the wall is indicated (dotted lines) on the plan. Note that the handles on the upper cabinets are l»)w, those on the lower ones high, for maximum convenience

S M A L L Compact! Eflicient! In this 7 x 10 kitchen the counter beside the electric refrigerator, which is used for food preparation, also serves as a "breakfast bar"', the smallest possible edition of a dining alcove. It is provided with outlets for electric .ippliances and a shelf containing the china and other ware commonly used. To further save space, a patented shelf unit (de-Mrilicd at ilii- lo)) of \>:mv 72) ha.s been mounted on the rear entry door at the right. The shelves are -1 inches deep

This should have a counter beside it

where food and dishes may be placed

New Equipment and Modernizing Details

1. This cabinet unit, shown in another form on page (•>'). attaches to a door or wall and by means of metal arms, top and bottom, and a central rod, may be re-Milvtd on itself so as to expose either the open side (when in use. as shown in our tlrawings) or a solid, closed face

2. Several feet of rubber hose concealeil in this stainless metal sink are attached to the little nozzle at the right of the spout. When drawn out the hose can be used for rinsing. A double strainer in the drain can be easily lemoved and dumped. The leilge below the splashboard is for ckanstrs. etc.

3. The broiler of the gas range shown at the top of page "1 is a waist-high drawer. The front drops down to form a shelf. The grill is aluminum, the drip-pan (which can't catch fire) stainless metal. Infra-red rays are said to be given off by the nichrome gas burner, thus speeding broiling

4. Towel dryers and plate warmers, operated by electricity. Come in various sizes and shapes. The one illustrated is for larger kitchens or pantries. It provides a convenient counter-top and avoids the unsightliness of soiled towels on a towel rack as well as insuring the proper temperature of plates

5. An electric service cart, which can be "garaged" under a kitchen counter, makes it possible to deliver a whole meal at one time from the kitchen to the dining table. The electric healing unit keeps dishes and plates warm until the lime for serving, and the cart can be used to bring .soiled dishes back

Pantr ies and Dining Alcoves

Two useful pantry installations. At left, a flower sink with cabinets for bowls, vases, etc. The sink bowl is extra deep and the fixtures include an extensible nozzle to permit filling tall vases. At the right, a cabinet section which has extra deep cabinets for glass and china and, above them, a built-in lighting unit. Below the counter are cloth-lined drawers where silver may be locked away and, at the bottom, a drawer for storing table cloths on rollers

(.ombining utility with hospitality and attractive decoration, this corner of a cleverly-planned pantry has several ni)tcworlhy features, including a divided sink, a towel dryer beneath the counter, a honey-comb rack for storing wine bottles horizontally so that the corks of precious bottles will be kept properly moist, and ,i sm.ill supplementary refrigerator. Glass shelves in the window hold glasses of cheerful shapes and colors

Here is a plan for a breakfast room, or dining room in a small house, thai offers a number of practical suggestions. First of all, notice that the outlets for th.e electric appliances, toaster, grill, percolator, etc., have been grouped in a recessed niche thus eliminating the danger of tripping over wires or covering the table with them. On either side of the table are twin cabinets for the storage of Imen, china or glass. Another often used ceni i in this room will be the planning desk with its convenient telephone and light. Botikshelves hold cookbooks and files and the radio which brings market news and tunes that lighten labor

Planning New Style at Moderate Cost

GOOD DESIGN, from an architectural and decorative standpoint, and attractive color schemes, are

features as characteristic of the modern kitchen as are the equipment and planning. In all cases, as will be noted by a study of the preceding drawings, an appearance of simplicity and balance is achieved. This is accomplished partly by keeping the counters, range top. and sink at an equal height from the floor, and partly by keeping the front surfaces of the cabinets on an even plane. A clean appearance is thus allorded, uninterrupted by changes in levels or by certain pieces obtruding beyond the line of the others.

The decorative possibilities in a kitchen are today so wide as to allow practically as much latitude in the expression of individual taste as is offered by any other room in the house. Any effect, fn)m the comfortable Colonial or Pro\incial kitchen to the most modern streamlined "laboratory" is readily achieved by proper handling of design, materials and color.

Among the various elements in the kitchen which may be manipulated for decorative ellect, we note especially the following:

Walls may be papered, painted, lined with linoleum, tile or glass, or with one of the hard-surfaced, easily cleaned wall coverings. A l l these are available in a wide range of colors and patterns.

Floor coverings in solid color or patterns can be had to harmonize with any scheme.

Counters and sink tops are manufactured of metal, wood, porcelain enamel, rubber, linoleum, and a durable wood composition which comes in a variety of tones.

Cabinets, customarily white, can be supplied in other colors when desired. The wooden ones may be cither painted or used in the natural wood tones.

Window treatments are important. Small sheKes at the side wil l accommodate small potted plants or colored glassware. A plate rail across the top yields decorative opportunities. Curtains contribute a color note.

And lighting is by no means an inconsiderable element. ^\'hile installed primarily with a view to functional requirements, good lighting units wil l do much to set ofl^ the soft colors, clean surfaces and bright metal of the kitchen. A simple and attractive ceiling unit should be supplemented by shaded or concealed lights at points where work is to be done. As shown in some of our pictures, lights may be installed near the ceiling line above sinks and counters in such a way as to flood these surfaces with soft shadowless light.

The cost of an up-to-date kitchen necessarily \aries with the size of the household and the consequent size and elaborateness of the kitchen. It may be said, however, that in the case of persons who have given some serious consideration to a new kitchen the price is usually considerably less than was expected.

For example, the cost of completely equipping a modern kitchen for an eight room house in the $10,000 to Si 5,000 class itemizes approximately as follows:

Range, $95; refrigerator, $150; cabinets, $200; sink-cabinet, $100; floor covering, $60; wall covering, $-10; lighting, $ 1 1

The total of $659.00 includes the cost of installation. Items not included are actual structural changes where remodeling of a major sort is being done, and the "furring"', or boxing out, of the space between the wall

cabinets and ceiling. This approximate figure is, of course, materially re

duced when, as is often the case, the present range or refrigerator is of an up-to-date type and need not be replaced. It should also be borne in mind that in most cases where existing kitchens of small or mod-crate area are remodeled it is found unnecessary to make any structural alterations whate\er. The new-units can be planned to lit into the present space without even a serious interruption of the kitchen work.

Another factor which should be of interest to any one contemplating the modernization of an old kitchen and transforming it into an attractive and well organized unit is the possibilities for financing the project under the provisions offered by the National Housing Act. Information about this type of credit is easily secured through the Modernization Loan Department of local banks. In many instances it wil l be found that the convenience of a really up-to-date kitchen, with all that it implies in the saving of time, work, and energy, can become an immediate reality with no serious drain on the family purse.

I ha\ e an unusual number of windows, a jog in the wall here, too little unbroken spate. Besides. 1 am not a "planner." ""

Then let us help you. On this page you wil l hnd a reproduction of graph paper, on which each scjuare ccjiials one scjuare foot. Draw your kitchen plan on this paper and write down the dimensions in the column at the left of the graph paper. For each toot of wall space in your kitchen draw a line along one sc uare of the graph paper.

If you wish to draw in your present kitchen ecjuip-ment and send the plan in to us with an indication of the amount you are prepared to spend for remodeling or the purchase of new equipment, we should be glad to suggest a new plan in line w ith your wishes. Fill in the graph paper and column of figures and send them, uitl.) youv name atui address,

to House & Garden, Graybar Building, New " 'ork City.

If you prefer to work out your own new plan, use the standard sizes of equipment shown in the upper left-hand corner. These are in exactly the same scale as the graph paper.

If. finally, you wish to see your new scheme in model form, there is a firm in New York which, for approximately five dollars, wil l make up an exact model equals I f t . ) for you like the one shown in the photograph at the left, only with four walls of jointed wood and a complete set of carefully scaled, cardboard equipment properly placed.

WHAT RATING WOULD YOUR HOUSE GET?

I T A \ ( > L L I ) he fortunate indeed if some disinterested agency were to rank houses hy value, cheeking them wiiile they were under construction, iind in general making sure that the buyer was getting what he was paying for.

Not in .such a iiold way but similar in effect, the Federal Housing -Administration has set about to become an agency fi>r ranking hou.ses in .America. I'ntler an act passed by Congress, the Federal Housing .Administration insures morttiamv-on houses. Ju.st as a life insurance company makes a health examination to determine how good a risk a particular insurance a|)p]icant is, .so the F H A makes health examinations of the profK-Tties it insures and ranks them according to their promise of longevity.

The business of ranking houses has produced a new semi-science. Like the appraising of property, it is a mixture of technical formula and common sen>e. To the layman, either one who is going to build a house under the F H . \ plan, or to the man who already owns a hou.se. this new .science is unusually interesting.

Consider, for example, the j)erson who is building a home with F H . \ financing. Let us assume that his property is worth $15,000 and that his mortgage is for $10,000, the mortgage to he paid off in twenty years. .According to the terms of the FH.A, the owner pays per cent a year for mortgage insurance, which amounts to $50 a year or $1,000 for the 20-year [)eriod.

In the opinion of the FH.A, not all home owners .should pay the same premium for mortgage insurance. Some mortgages are obviou.sly better risks than others, and it is to enable the FH.A to say which are the good and which are the fair and which are the mediocre that it has developed this science of risk rating. When it receives a mortgage it j)laces it in a group of mortgages of similar risk characteri.stics, the grou|)s being listed as "A", " B " , and "C". The "A" mortgages are the best, the " I V next best, and the " C third best. So that in our typical case, should the mortgage be rated ".A" and the annual $50 ])remium be |)aid into a fund that suffers few losses, the owner will receive back from the FH.A most of his $1,000. minus (harges for operating.

I F , on the other hand, our typical ca.se mortgage is rated " C " , and heav)- losses are suffered in that group, he may lose the greater part or even all of the $1,000.

Consef|Ucntly it behooves anyone who is going to build a house under the FH.A plan to understand exactly what con.sti-tutes a good ri-sk and what constituti-s a poor one.

For those who do not contemplate building houses under the F H A , tile s\ stem of risk rating is no less interesting although it has less jiecuniary value. For mortgage risk rating sets up a C()nii)]etely new sy.stem of valuating property, seeking to determine not the current worth of a particular piece of property but the likelihood of the property retaining its worth over a period of )"ears.

From the FH.A's .standpoint, there are five different factors that indicate whether a mortgage is any good or not:

1. The character of the property itself: the general layout of the property, the planning, design, construction, and equipment of the house itself.

Before building or buying, why not apply the government's new FHA rating system to determine if you are making a safe investment? By John Cushman Fistere

2. The kind o f neighborhood the house is i n : good or bad, and its chanies o f staying .<;ood i f it is good.

The relation of the house to the neighborhood: wlirihtr it is too good or too bad a house for the neighborhood, whether it is generally harmonious.

4. The character of the borrower: his ability to pay. 5. The kind of mortgage: whether .short or long term, and

what the terms of repayment are. Perhaps from the FH.A's standpoint, the last two are the

most imi)ortant. But the man wlio is trying to give his pr<)|)erty a rating is interested in only the first three. In its rating scheme, the FH.A gives e(|ual weight to the five factors; tiiat is, each one counts 20 per cent out of the 100 per cent. So that, first off, the man who thinks the value of his proi)erty is concentrated only in the hou.se and lot has been misleading himself.

FOR each of the five characteri.stics, the FH.A has worked out "rating grids" (.shown at end of article) nn which the different elements in each division are given proportionate values. Take, for in.stance. Grid Xn. 1 -headed "Rating of l'r()i)erty." In Column 5 are listed the maximum |)ercentages to be given for a perfett rating in each feature.

Genera l layout ].S.0% Design S.d ."suitability to climate 7.0 L i v a b i l i t y 15.11 Li^;hl a n d a ir S.ii M r r h a n i c a l equipnient 7.0 .•\ccc.s.sory eciuii)ment . . v O ."^iHcial equipment . 2.0 .Structural soundness 20.0 Kcs is lance to ulenunls l O . O Resistance to u.se .5,0

I N Columns 1 to 4 are the K-sser ratings for less than pi rfin t conditions in each of tho.-e classifications. There is no intention of e.x|)laining here specifically what con.stitutes a good

rating, but what the grids do establish is the relative importance in the value of a house. It would l>e ])erfect for the bu\er if the FH.A were able specifically to say that such and such a ty])e of plan gets an ".A" r:iting, or .such and such a ty|.c oi wall con.struction is to be rated "H". .Ml they can do, however, is inilicate to you what the im|)ortance o f the d i n r r i iii features are.

Here are some of the general preci'|)ts ust-d by FH.A uniler-writers in rating projiert} :

Under "Design of Property": I f the exterior of the house is a simple, direct expression of the plan and o f the materials used, its design should rate high. Low ratings should be given in the case of houses that are "shirt-front" designs, in which the appearance of the building has not been considered from all sides.

.' alt hay has the deci<ied advantage of protecting the plants from direct .sun and wind, while s l i l l admi l i ing air to I hem. It does not mat down and

turn soggy unfltr snow or rain, and so the danger of smothering ijlants under it is minimized. It should i>e s(ai iere(l about loosely lo a sufficient riepth lo shut out all sunlight from the groun<l. ( ienerally. the irregularities of the rock garden's terrain are sufficieni lo keep the hay from blowing away. In l la i i i sh plantiiigs. however, a few light and twiggy branches are advisable for laying on lop lo hold it in place.

O 1 the inquiries Uiat come to this office from home-owners or builders seeking help with their problems, the commonest one is "what wi l l it co.sl?" .And in the bui lding business this is the most difficult to answer. W e can tell you the co.st of materials—but the cost of labor varies so greatly in d i f ferent .sections of the country that it is l>ractically impossible for a national ma>;azine such as House & G a r d e n to give a neneral answer that wi l l fit more

than a very limited number of ca.ses.

However, we publish below a check list of the costs of makiiij^ tyjjical repairs, based on a 3-year remodeliu'.; loan at the interest prescribed by the Nat ional Hous ing . \ c t : $>.()0 \ter year for each $100 borrowed. T h ese figures are relative. T h e y were jjrepared by the local contractors in Port Ches ler .

book warrant . T h e di imer of many and extended courses is as dead as a Dodo. T h o s e G a r g a n t u a n meals of the '90's. with di/zAr- successions of d i shes a n d bewilrlering a r r a y s of wines came pretty close lo being an old-fashioned form of exhibit ionism. O n the other hand, if you have a good cook, i l would be silly to let her wash' her gastronomic sweetness on the desert a ir of a lean meal. However , the tendency is toward having fewer courses and making each one memorable. T h e same is true of the aper i t i f s and the wine.

W h i l e a D r y M a r t i n i is as orthodox a s the .\i)ostIes' Creed a n d conse-quenily is acceptable to the majority of guests, there are a whole world of oilier a p r r i l i f s , and one should offer guests a choice. T h e ronririned wine dr inker and those who prefer lo save their palates wi l l choose chil led Sherry or R h i n e wine or a n aperit if with a wine base—Dulumnet or I l y r r h or even plain Vermouth . A v o i d fancy, fussy cocktails as you would the plague. Likewi.se fancy l iors d'ii-uvrcs.

T h e first rule about liors d'<ruvrcs is that they should be eaten with the maxi m u m of ease a n d not sji i l l bits around. T h e y should be rjuick and to the point. T h e y shouldn't spoil the apjietite for the dinner that follows. A j a r of pale de foie gras with crackers and ihe guests lo help themselves is one of the sim|ilest and most accejilable .solutions. .Avoid hors d'(euvres thai reiiuire knee-eating. Most men abominate jug gling little plates on their knees.

T h e r e may be a few barbar ians left who pour in three or four cocktails before dinner, but, fortunately, Uicir tribe is declining. T h a t much stimulant defeats any meal a n d is apt to ru in the parly.

.'\ good dinner i s built up gradually to a dramatic i ioini. It starts with a sinipii' soup, jiasses on to an inli'resling fish and reaches its peak wi th the roa.st. Salad, dessert a n d fruit should be a gradual descent from this peak so that the guest lands safely on earth again with the coffee.

Most men prefer thick soup atid most women th in . At a largish dinner il might lie jileasant to revive the old tureen—jilace a tureen of thick soup before the host a n d ihe thin before the hostess—and guests can have their choice. Besides, so m u c h of our serving is prejiared in the kitchen nowadays that it is interesting lo return to at l i a s i one old custom where the host— now deprived of carving at lable—can make .some gastronomic gesture as the I l iad of his house.

T h e same dramatic a.scent shoul<l be c.dculaled in serving wine. There has never been evolved more satisfactory (onii)inations of food and drink il ian the orthodox combinations of the past. T i i e y are :

Oysters a n d She l l f i sh—a dry fiiniy wine such as C h a b l i s or Meursaul t .

T h i c k S o u j j — a Sherry , such as ()Ioroso or . \monii l la i lo .

T h i n Soui>—a dry Mad> ir;i. F i s h — a n y of the R h i n e wines or

Mos i lles or d iy Graves .

Light meats such as chicken—light red I'.urgundy such as l ieaujolais . Moulin-i ' i -Vent, or C l a r e l , or a while l lurgundy.

Roa.sts and G a m e — t h e granil wines —ful l -bodied red Burgundies or Bor deaux or Cote du Rhone .

Sa lad—skip wine. Dcs.serts. when nt)t loo sweet—

Sauterncs or a scmi-<Jry Chami iagnc or a full a n d sweet Port , Sherry or Mii'leira.

Coffee—Cognac or various L i q u e u r s . \ 'ar ious rlianges can lie rung on a

dinner menu. I f it starts with soup, the .salad can be left off or no soup .inrl a sa lad. W e usually skip entrees today an<l pass direcily from the first course lo the roast.

But whether the dinner be long or short, it .should be properly l i i i u i l . Courses should not be ru.shed. antl the hostess, with an eye on her guests' lilal<'s. should give everyone a chance. .After al l . eonvi-rsaiion is one of the best ai<ls lo digestion. L e t the E n g l i s h , if they wi l l , gobble their food first and talk af terward, .Americans need not follow ll ieir example.

T h e r e was once a famous .Vmerican actress, now liecome the mistress of one of ihe greatest country houses in E n g l a n d , who a lways jirepared her i o n -versatioii with licr guest of honor beforehand. I f he was a doctor, she looked up something on medicine. I f he had a hobby, she found i l antl .started him talking on i l . Most people, if they don't run on loo much, can l)e interesting on iheir own hobbies. T h a i is one way of coni|i l imenting a guest.

.After the dinner is over and tlu- men a|)|)ear again, what next? T h e inveier-ate bridge i)layers wi l l stjuirm till their feet are under a card lable. Conversa tion is not for them. T h e y go at it gr imly—and a table in a far corner or another rcxim should be ready to receive their onslaught. T h e rest of the company who can talk wi l l do so, a n d they'll enjoy the evening and really go home refreshed if ihey avoid the same oltl topics of business and scainlal .

T h e r e are games, loo, to play. . \ l i sorts of innocuous a n d exciting games. .A whole iiage of them is found in this issue.

M i d w a y in the evening water is brought or orange juice, and whisky and soda. Conversat ion begins lo lag. T h e card j>layers drift back lo the group around the fire. M e n glance s u r reptitiously at their watches. Tomorrow-is another day.

.And when they have gone, come the sweetest moments of a l l . T h e house grows st i l l . Y o u sit beside the dying embers and talk the party over. After all , the test of a parly is that die hosts have enjoyed lhenis»'hx's loo.

.A perfect setting for a festive dinner parly appears as the frtmtispiece of this issue. I l is in the N e w A'ork apartment of M r s . Clarence J . Shearn and was designed by E leanor 1-emaire, i n terior architect. A\'alls are painted white over chartreuse; the floor is black rubl)er tile covered witli an oval chartreuse rug bordered in white fur fringe. C u r t a i n s of chartreuse satin lined with white faille hang over gun-metal Venet ian lilinds. T h e dining table is ebony with glass legs, chairs ebony, upholstered in off-white leather. .A black vitriolite con.sole is supjiorted bv crvstal brackets.

. H O S E very rugs you walk on now w i l l seem incredibly soft and r i ch and new with CIRCLE T r e a d O Z I T E Cushions beneath them. R u g s that seem ageing, "lifeless," worn—spr ing back with youth and zest underfoot again—and last for many, many happy years.

So much softer than ever before—this new CIRCLE T R E A D Design makes ordinary "waffle" type pads obsolete. "Spring-felting" does it, with a springiness you never dreamed your rugs could have.

And PERMANENT Mothproofing

Ozite is the only rug cushion treated with a solution deadly to moth larvae. Not just a moth chaser—but an agent that destroys moth worms—and lasts the life of the cushion (which is practically forever!).

C I R C L E T r e a d O z i t e is also the only rug cushion that is "ozonized"—electrically sterilized to eliminate the "stockyards odor" that makes cheap pads offensive.

The outstanding value in low cost automatic heat and hot water

FOR THE SMALL HOME H E R E I S an automatic oil furnace that is revolutionizing home heatiiit:. It is remarkably low in first cost—less than what you formerly would have paid for just a boiler or burner alone. Sur-prisitiiily low, too, in operating cost. In fact, an Arco-Petro Junior is junior in everything except quality. And that is the finest which two leading manufacturers with a cotnhiiied experience of over yo years have been able to build into this modern efficient self-contained boiler-burner unit.

Completely Automatic—Summer and Winter

Operation is astonishiiigh' simple. For plenty of heat in winter, and all the hot water for laundrv, bath and kitchen you may want in summer, merely set the thermostat. T h a t is a l l — e x cept to forget it.

You Can't A fford to Repair Your Old Boiler

Boiler repairs are costlv. So much so that if vou own a small home and are thinking of h.ving up an old boiler and then putting in an oil burner, you ju>t can t afford to do it. An Arco-Petro funior will not only cost Icss^ but it will save \(>u plenty on fuel every year you run it.

So Down Payment — Pays for Itself

With aguvcrninent F . H . A . loan, any responsible home owner can now enjoy an Arco-

» - L Pctro Junior. No down payment. Three years to pay. Bought in this way, an Arco-Petro

• Junior will often pav tor it.self out of .savings.

W i t h this fact clearly understood, pruning is governed by the method of training you are following and the numlier of bearing cam-s which the vine is capable of sujiporting jiroper-ly, In general, cut back and discard :ilmo.st al l of ibis year's growth, leaving only stubs with enough liuds or joints on them lo jirovide ihe <iesired number of canes for next year's crop— six. eight, ten or more, depending on the age and strength of the vine.

clYccls of r i i o r i n u . false luilf-limlpcr work, or i r i i k y liaiidlinK of n ia lcr ia l s may adversely affect desi},'n ral ing.

F i r c -i:)roof floor construction is likely 1" reijuire less interior repair than wood floor const ruction."

It is inleiest ing to note again that the F H . \ gives the same value I n the character of the neighborhood as it does l o the propi rty itself. It is also interesting t o see that under " R a l i n g o f Xeighhorhood." a 2. j i e r cciU valui-is given lo s labil i ly o f the neighborhood, which is even more than the value placed on design or s tructural soundness o f the house. .And it is four l imes as important in valuation ;is the kind o f p lumhing and heal ing lisleil under "Mechanica l Ec iu ipmenl" in G r i d N o . 1.

.Mso affecting die i iermaneni value o f the bouse is its relation to the iieigh-l)orhoo<l. T h e r e is no adv;inlage. for instance, in having the best house o n the block if it is t o o much the best house. Obviously , the jirice range of Ihe other houses wil l leiiil l o pul l down the highest i)riccd one. .-\nd a man needn't think that h e can sneak into a n exclusive area, put a small house, and expect it to be worth as n m c h — for the very f a d that his house is out of jirice kee|)ing with the others means that it has less value for others who might want lo huy it. Don't build a house thai is more than 10 per c( n i above or below the general jirice level in your commuinty.

Flere then arc appro.ximalely 36 dif

ferent elements, .ill of which go to make up the permanent value of the house— not its immediaii- value to you, of course, but its value as a piece of i)rop-erty. \ 'ou must consider whenever you are conlcm|>lating any innovations that the day may come when you or yiîur heirs wil l want to sell ihe house—and then your i)ropensily for balancing gargoyles on your gut l i r -spout wil l cost you or your heirs money.

F a r from I x i n g just a theon l i ca l bil of j i leasanlry. the first three ra l ing grids can lie of inestimable value to the layman who is huying or buil'ling. if they are properly used. I n the .selection of the site, for example, if the ]'ro|)erly were checke<l against e;uh of the eight risk factors listi d in Clr id N o . 2, the buyer could scareely go wrong. I l woulfl. of course, rcfiuire the inler-prelal ion of a skilled real estate man lo pass judgment on the .stability of the neighborhood. T h e real estate de-partmeiU of the loc:il bank, however. \\()id<l have a<lr'(|uate data lo pa.ss ju<lgment on nearly all the conditions out linerl.

I n the buying of a house already built, it woulil be extremely desiralile lo have an architect or contractor in whom you jilace confidence t xamine the properly from e:ich of the .>]ie(ilie si.indpoints, checking his general opinion by giving a definite rating in each case. I f his ra l ing were below S.s. caution .should he exercised in going .iheail.

In the building of a new house, tin-chances for using the ral ing charts are even gri iiter. Once the .site has bi . n selected a n d the plans a n d specifications drawn up, your architect .shoidd be requested lo make a definite rejuiri on each of the factors, and if you are financing under ihe F F I . V you should ask the insl itution from which you are borrowing the money for a r i i>ori on the F H . A ' s rating of the j iroperly. T h i s report is not your properly: it is the properly of the liank but it is unlikely that any lending ins i i -lution would refuse you permission lo see it.

Hearing in mind that a low ral ing in any one of the 36 different elements endangers the entire value of ihe |:)rop-i-rly, the use of tlic grids should not be haphazard. . \ casual checking of the house against the risk factors is of little use.

"Search every ^^al•den, strip the shrubbery bowers, . \ i id .stresv his path with .sweet autumnal f lowers: V e virgins ha.ste. preiiare the fragrant rose, .•\nd with tr iumjihal laurels crown his lirows."

—from a recitative in the Virtrini.T G.izettP in honor of the arrival of the Rinlit 1 loiiorahle Norliorne Iterkeley, I.oni iioletoiirt, Koyal Governor of \'iri»inia in 1768.

M I D - I . S T H ("EN'Tt RY in V i r g i n i a was a flowery period, not only in s|)eech and manner but in fragrant reality. \\\\m his Hnni ir . L o r d Botetourt, came to the caji ital . which was then \\'illiamsl>urg, he fiiund a truly elegant little city with a r>(ivrrnor's Palace and gardens upon which his predecessors had disbursed so much that already complaints had been sent to the K i n g in F.ngland about the "lavishing away" of the country's available funds .

Houses and gardens a n d customs were patterned as nearly as could be contrived after the manner of Court L o n d o n and the famous yearly "I' . irth-Xig l i t celelirations" at the Governor's Palace, together wi th the balls a n d " I l luminations" given w i l h them, were said to be equaled and surpassetl only by the Cour t of f^ngland. T h e r e are accounts, too, of Governor Botetourt entertaining fifty-two at dinner, and of a n olTicial occasion when Governnr .Spotswood dined and wined four h u n dred guests.

T h e grandeur of the palace and its gardens served as a criterion for the great V i r g i n i a houses and gardens of the early 18lh Century and, of course, al l the more substantial c i t i /ens of W i l l iamsburg (and many there were who h a d grown quite wealthy from tobacco revenues) d id their best to plan liomcs and gartlens in accord. T h e y sent to E n g l a n d for hooks on landscaii ing and .some even imported E n g l i s h gardeners,

W i t h the removal of the capital to R i c h m o n d and the pas.sing of the years the glory (if Royal is t A\'illiamsburg declined. T h e main buili l ing of the palace burned while our future first luesident was using it as a hn.spital for his V o r k t o w n wounded. M a n y of the fine old hou.ses were "modernized" lieyond recdgnition. and must uf the gardens were abandoned.

But just recently there has been a transformation. T h e D u k e of Gloucester Street, leading from the College of

Wi l l iam and M a r y jiast the G o v e r n o r s Palace to the Capi to l buildings, has been made to look again almost exacily as it must have appeared during its heyday. T h e charndng white " T i d e water Colonia l" houses, and dozens of their accumpanying gardens, have been restored to all their ISth Century elegance, thanks to the vision of D r . Gdi idwin of Bruton Par i sh C h u r c h , the inti rest of M r . Rockefeller, the research of a staff of ex|)erls and the coiipera-tion of the .\rchitect.s. Perry, S h a w a n d I l e j iburn , al l of whom heli>ed bring a dream into reality.

G a r d e n enthusiasts wi l l be part i cularly grateful for the efforts of M r . . \ r t h u r .-\. Shurcl i f fe , head of the de-jiartment of I.and.scape . \rchitecture. who is responsible for the many restored gartlens, without which the restored buildings would lack much of the fragrant glowing life they seem to have recaptured.

Lctter.s, papers and a copi)er-plate engraving were discovered .at the I ' o d -leian L i l w a r y in O.xi'ord.

The more i)n l( iitious are laid out in rlahorale ncomctric desiRn.s, hut all, from the tiniest coltaue Rartlen to tin-formal ^rountls of the Governor s Palace, are livable, intimate and friendly.

The smaller ^aniens are surrounded liy low hedni's of Holly or delicate, wliilcwashed picket fences. The invit-inn little f;ates are chained to their while posts antl weished down by an iron ball so that as you enter, the n'dit; swings gently lo behind you and you fmd yourself literally tip-loeinn down the .shadowed "herringbone" brick paths, holding your breath lest you breiik the spell of the ISih Ci-nlury, which s«-ems to hover in tangible scent and color above the |)ungent. glowing i)e<ls of ol(l-fasiiione(| llowers.

Chinchilla and Havana, and the re.suhing varieties are called Xi-w Ze;ilandrex, Chinchillarex. Havanarex. and so on; they combine the Kex fu r texture with the color and other characteristics of their own particular breed.

Loi*: a freak breed, wi th gigantic ears; for registration any rabbit of this bleed w ith ears less than 16 inches long and 4 inches wide would be <lis(|ual-ified, while there have been some fellows w ith cans 27 by 7; they come in many self- ami broken-color v.irieties. but the carage. as they say in the fancy, is the thing.

AXD ALSO

There are others: plain, figured. an<l absurd, but I have mentioned most of the principal breeds and variel i is ; enough at any rale to give an idea of the selection. Before buying, I would suggest inquiring into the habits, hardiness and idiosy ncrasies of the special ty|>es towards which you are drawn, if merely lo learn in advance of purchase .such perhaps immaterial facts as lhal the Angora, for exam|)lc, re-(|uires considerable care on account of its long silky fleece; that the black markings on the Himalayan are ;ipl to f:ide in the sunlight, and that the Flem-i.sh Giant, when bred for size, can become rather cumbersome. . \nd go by all means lo a relialile dealer who wi l l guarantee the soundnes.s. healthiness and purity of breed of his animals.

Vour rabbitry shrnild be ready wdien the animals arrive. Its size an<l character w i l l depcnfl of course upon llie number of ral)bits you e.xpecl U) keep and whelher or not w u would like to

raise an otcasinn;il l i iier. In case you • i<'eide In make this a V I T V passive avocation, and gel a few rabbits wi th the iniention of sticking to the status quo. you had better deal entirely with does, not only because by themselves tliey wil l be unable to repnxluce. but because, unlike the bucks, they can be kept together in a pen wii l ioul I'lghling. A few rabbits ke[)i in this innoceiu fashion could be raised in a community i>en, which would be like the de-\elo|)ing pen to be described, and could even be allowed the freedom of an open run. I!ut if you would like to make rabbits a real (even though a minor) hobby, an<l raise a collection now and then f rom sedl, >n lo s|ieak. you w i l l have to make u.si- of the hutch system. In any event, the design of the rabbit house I .shall describe can be adapted in p;irt or whole to the size and nature of your "herd". I wi l l point out the princijiles of r:ibbit housing, and as long as these are observed ytiur rabbit house is susceptible to any number of variations. For detailed i l ia -grams and descriptions of the various methods of construction 1 refer you to ;iny good liook on rabbit culune. in which there is more room for comiilcie exjilanalory data on all )ihases of the subject than there could jxissilily be in this merely introductory article.

I l i t ; M AITKR O F L O O K S

No matter how large or .small your ralibilry, whether it is specially built for the |)uri)ose or makes use of an I xisiing structure, it should not only (onsider the nature and habits of its occupants but should conform to and enhance the appearance of its surroundings. I t should house the animals in comfort and at the same lime form an attractive feature of the place. For it is only by considering with equal care the iiractical and deiorative (|u;il-ities of their quarters that the enjoyment of these creatures as pets can be fully realized.

In a typical rabbit house ihere are four hutches, two developing pens, and storage sjiace for food and equipment. This means there is room for one buck, three brood does, and two litters of juniors. Itucks always, and does that are used for breeding, should be kejit separately in lhe.se individual comiiart-ments. The hutches, depending upon the size of the breed, should be from 4 to 5 feel wide, 20 inches high, and .>0 inchi-s deej). T w o pairs of hutches, one above the other, w i t h a shelf above and a storage cupboard below, woul<l l i l l one side of the rabbit house. I let ween the hutches is a hay rack which can be I'dled and cleaned without disturbing the hutches. This is a very convenient and accessible arrangement, making it pos.sible to feed and clean with perfect ease f rom the .>-foot pa.ss;igeway which sejiaraies the hutches f rom the en-clo.se<l .sections of the developing pens which occupy the lower part of the opposite side.

The hutch side of the house should be wcathertighi and free f rom dral'ts, but the other sitle, which faces the south, should I " ' open to the air and the sunlight, walled only with wire netting. The most convenient and .sanitary hutches are the .self-cleaning kin<l

which nquire no bedding, having a mesh floor in the rear, wi th a galvanized trough underneath. The principal precautions to lake in regard to the living arrangements in every respect are the dangers that ari.se f rom drafts. damijne.ss, poor ventilation, and inadequate protection against dogs and other animals which might harm or disturb the rabbits. Heat and cold, if not too extreme, w i l l not affect the rabbits, but they are very sensitive to the various items mentioned above.

The care of rabbits is by no means com|ilicated, but it should be managed systcmalically. I l goes without saying llial iheir pens and hutches should be cleanefl every day; and as they are by nature nocturnal this shoidd be done in the early morning. Early tuorning is for the same reason the be.st lime to (li-an and r< fill their water ves.sels and nplenish the hay racks ( i f empty). The main nual, which is the grain ration, should l)e given about sundown. The hay should be either clover or alfalfa, and a good grain ration is one (onqiosed of 6 parts whole oats, 2 parts alf:dfa mola.sses feed, 1 part cracked corn and 1 part whole wheat. There is a regular rabbit food, in the form of l>ellets, which is decidedly more convenient lo handle and is probably superior lo any home-mixed grain ration, I l contains ( i n every pellet) sixteen well-balanced ingredients, so Uiat the rabbit gets everything that is good for it . The quantity lo give at every meal depends upon the breed, agt- and condition.

The management of the bree<ling sliould be conirollerl so that i i wi l l not be necessary to raise young rabbits in open pens (luring either the coldest part of the winter or the holiest part of the suimner. The doe wi l l kindle thirty-one days after mating. There wil l ordinarily lie f rom six to ten in a litter (the smaller breeds u.sually bearing less than the large). The young rabbiis wi l l be born naked and with their eyes closed. Their eyes wi l l open in ten or twelve days, and about a week later they wi l l start coming out of the nest. . \ l eight weeks they can be gradually weaned and put in the develui)ing pen, and at three nioiuhs die sexes should be .separated.

.-\t this ijoint it is time to Uiink about what .shall be done wi th the surjilus rabbits. One way out is to have an arrangement with the dealer from wliom you purchased your original stot;k to take off your hands all the ral)bils for which you have no room. This he should be glad to do if he has .sold you imre-bred jiarents, though you may have to let them go gratis. .Vn alternative is to build another rabbit liouse. and then another: finally to retire and really take up rabbit raising.

Gardening in dry climates ( C O N T T N T F . D F R O M P A G E 5. 1 T H E G A R D E N MART

English traf l i t ioi i . we niusl t:ike cant to f i l l our scene with the small i)ersona! tiiuches, the •'iiumanilics" that show the love and care of the owner. In actual practice the Reoinetric pattern, if intelligently carried out, avoids ri jîd-ity by the modifications which fit it to irregularities in the ground, adjacent l)iiildings, existing trees, etc. In Si>ain. where the highly successful patterned gardens always begin wi th a .symmetrical l)a.se. stiffness is broken up by features shifted off center, unexpected deHeclions hi!ie and there, made to meet the demands and conveni(mces of everyday living. I f these deviations are well done an<l have natural reasons they look inevitable in the end, and arc a source of ddishi ami sur|»rise.

HASH- ( . I I A K A C T E R I S T I C S

The first feature " f these gardens is a K'-ncnius paved area for out<ioor sit-liiiK immediately next to the hou.se. The elements that go into this are largely architectural. The walls (and walls are the sine qua non of this lyiie of gardi-n) serve as background and frame, tying the picture together, screening undesirable sights, and segregating one unit f rom another. Their fresh clean surfaces, of jjlastcr or whitewashed brick, are agreeably liroken by vines or espaliered f ru i i trees silhouetted again.st them. They support wall fountains and lienches, and tile<l niches, wrought iron gates and windows find a jilace in them. The pavement is not allowed to be merely uti l i tarian but is usually flecora-tive as well. It may be made of flagstone or glazed or unglazed tile, or of little gray and white pel)bles set in patterns; soft old-ro.s<' liricks make one of the happiest pav(Mnenl.s, both in texture and in color. Small i>olychrnmc liles are sometimes interlaid between the bricks, placed at intervals or as a border. Moles are left f o r th(! growing of trees or slirul)s.

Water, which plays an important role in hot climates, is always the center of interest in some form, either in the enclosed patios or the outer gardens. Invariably it is u.sed in .small quantities, in economical ways which give a delicate sound to refresh the senses. Especially charmiiiK are the little rills which accompany one along the walks. Tiny I'-shaped canals two or three inches deep .sunk in the paving (blue tile ones .set in ro.se brick are a particular hapjiy combination ) catch the over-llow from a jiool or fountain and carry it along on the .surface to irrigate the I ices or llowcrs. Pools are usually shallow, often only a few inches of water covering the bottom which may be made of beautifully i)atterncd poly-clirome tiles.

Around these V)asins and fountains ;iiid w;ill |)ools, like offerings aroun<l a si'.rine, are collected companies of (lower pots in varying sha|)es and sizes. Practical as well as decorative in the extreme, they afford the most humanizing and per.sonal touch possible to give to a garden. T hey gather in ranks lo accent a doorway, they grace the parajiets of walls, they mark steps at changes of level—there is hardly a feature that is not made more attractive by their presence. They give a flexible garden, loo, havini; the virtue that

when a speiinien is fini.shed blooming, it can be rejilaced with a fresh one.

The lover of color finds a fa.scinatiiig lield for e.vperimentalion in pots and their contents. Let him choose liis colors with a bold eye, for the dazzling light of the atmosphere ab.sorbs so much that cmly the strongest hues are effective. Red pots for Geranium.s. yellow pots for Na.sturlium.s. blue ones for Lobelia and Petunias, wi l l enhance the values of his flowers.

Beyond the patios and paved lei r.ices there follow a series of separate units like outdoor rooms, their number and extent depending on the size o f the property, their desiun dictated by their purpose o r motif. Often they are connected with a single long walk, w h i i h gives a vista and .sense o f distance. Patterns for the small scjuare gardens may be taken from a Spanish tile, or from a n old shawl, and simiililied for their application. The level of the beds is preferably below the grade of the walks, to facilitate irrigation and kee]) the water from running o f f . The edging may be of curved roof tile Iai<l on end, o r of brick, with Box hedging.

I'Or.IAOE E r i - E C T S

Instead of tlnwers i n the beds, we see more and more frequently a green ground cover, flowering vines o r low sub-shrubs. Whi'ii a garden nm.st be " o n parade" all year around with n o rest period, it liecomes a prime consideration to avoid the exjiense o f keeping ma.s.scs o f flowers in continual condit ion. .\s in Spain ami Italy—for in gardening i t is not national bounds but climate that is the determining factor— the best effects here are indeiiendenl o f bloom, anyway. It is found more practical and economical, and c|uite as satisfactory, lo kee)) a good showing of color in the pois, maintain a cut flower garden out of sight where jx-rfection is not compulsory, and All the beds with green. Clipped Box o r Mviius communis microphylla hi solid rectan-'^Ws present the pattern plea.santly. En glish Ivy always furnishes a classic, impeccable green, and .such vine- as Crim.son Lake Bougainvillea and Star Jasmine ( ' rrac l i r laspeni ium jasmin-oiflcs) make good grouml covers and give i n addition, respectively, a high note of color and perfume. Various attractive .substitutes for annuals and perennials can easily be found. When the interior patterns arc small and the hedges miniature, colored broken glass has been tried instead o f jilaniing, and also tiny pebbles of rose pink, slate blue, aiK . I white, the colors aliernaling in the divisions.

Roses of course are always in demand, and are naturally suited to formal design. They are best enclosed in low hedges, so thai not so much i>are ground appears. The .Spanish practice of planting Violets under Roses a s aground cover mighl well be emulaled here. I f the bed is to lie kept low, I'olvaniha Roses give a n excelleni effect as a ground cover.

I f it be protested that the init ial expense of this kind of garden is high, one mu.st not forget that the upkeep •is correspondingly low. The maintenance may be reduced without materially changing the effect.

New things in shrubs ( C O N T I N I KI) I K O A t I'.\OI-. 4 9 )

Tho.sc who want to sec tln se M m k -orannes at their very best may l>e a<l-vi.sed to plant them on a well draini-d slope in f u l l sun. and to prune ihi-m sharply each year as soon as th> y an-throu^^h llowering. . - \ l l old and weak growth should be removetl in this operation, and at the .same time the ^llrulls should receive a fi-i-ding with old manure and bonemeal worked loosely into the topstiil arouml each plant. Regular watering during tiie hot sunuiier months iimst not be neglected.

For most pleasing effects the a.sso-cialion with other plants must also be consi<lered. and. since while is always welcome where other bright colors are to IK" displayed, many fine combinations are possible. T w o companions for the Mockorangcs may be mentioned here as particularly s t r iking: The red-berried I'^lder (Saiiiliitcu.s rarriiiosa) which ri|)ens its frui ts in June and July, and blue and while I)el]ihiniiims and Lupines.

S I M M K K SriKAK.\S

Much too little known, too, arc the summer-flowering hylirid .'spiraeas, the liesi of which are crosses wi lh the western .\merican 5. iIoiii.;l(isii. Most of these hybrids hav"- been originated in I'.urope. where they arc generally known and ajipreciated, but in .American gardens they are still .strangely rare. This is the more surprising, since they flower at a time—during July and .Vugust—when there are l)Ut few other shrubs in flnwi r. I t is true lhal the pur]ile of their flowers may clash di.s-agreeably with certain red or blue summer-flowering perennials, but that can be avoided by careful i)lanning. I f they arc associnted, for instance, with the dwarf white Spiraea alhijlora. which flowers at the same time, the effect can be guaranteed to be hi;.;hly pleasing. Besides, wi lh the best of these liybrids. like .S". 7.7j/.vHwi«»ta, which is shown in the picture, aiul 5. p.snidn-dinifilasii. which may be classed as a variety of S. hilliardii, the colf)r of the flowers has been much imjiroved. Compared wi lh S. (Iiiiit;!a.ui they are much more brilliant, tenrling more to reil than purple. .Another serious shortcoming of the DouKlas .*î)iraea which has Uren modilieil in the hybrids is the habit of the flowers to open first on the tips of the spikes, gradually e\leii<]iiiu downward, l ly the time the lower part of the spike comes into bloom, the upper pari is faded and discolored. I n the hybrids the flowers of each spike open much more evenly.

.Anothi r newcomer of great merit is tile Korean Spiraea Iricliocarpa which E . H . Wilson, the famous jilant collector and late keeper of the .\rnol<l .Arboretum, called one of the .six best sjieii.s of this large and beautiful genus. Its flowers, which are snowy white, are jiroduccd in dense corymbs. 2"-4" in diameter, clothing two-thirds of the long, gracefully arching sprays. The normal season for this fountain of bloom is in June, extending through most of the month. The beauty of this shruli is further enhanceii by its foliage wiiich, especially when young, has llie fresh, brijjht greenness of y(umg grass.

Its hardiness is vindisput' d. Inil for liest health and greatest abundance of flowers it is advisable to plant it in not too rich, well drained soil to which it is partial becau.se of its native habitat on rocky mountain slopes.

Of fairly recent intioduction, al.so, is Buddleia alleniifoiia. I t is now some iw. iuy years since Farrcr, the famous English plant collector, sent seeds of this lovely shrub to Knj^land from one of his exjieditions into western China and Tibet. Dur ing lhal time it has established its worth and can now be obtained f rom many nurserii-s. This Buddleia is the only really hardy member of the genus which so far has been introfluced into cullivalion.

The.se remarks nive very valuable hints as to the conditions under which tins shrub may be expected to give tin-best results. I t demands fu l l .sun atid perfect drainatie. Stony clay .soil is more to its liking than rich humous soil, and, since its IOM>;. slender shoots are inclined to droop, i t w i l l show off to best advantage if it is allowed to hung over a bank or wall or a large boulder. Its flowers are produced in June, not in AuuusI like tho.se of the common Butlcrflybnsh. and those who like to exi)eriment with contrasting comiiinations may be advised to associate it w i lh C'yii.sus purâns.

This account of summer-flowering shrubs of ouistandins merit may be (oiicluded with the mention of two smaller suiijects which are of con-sideralde value for tlie rock garden. The first of these. Potent ilia frutieosa par-.'iiidia, hails from northern China and Mongolia and is one of the best of the many vari i t i i 's of the Shrubby Ciiiquefoil. I t endears itself not oidy through its low stature, which rarely exceeds two feet, but more than any-l l i in j ; else through its extremely lon« flowering period. Usually it commences I n tlower in May, being literally covered with its abundant, bright yellow blo.ssoins all through June. Dur inn July it lags a li t t le, never entirely cea.sin^; 111 flower, however, while rhir inj i .\ugust it manages to achieve a s>'iotiii grand display which fref)uently extends way inio SeiHember. The occi-sionally cultivated, very .similar I'nteii-lilla Farreri has tf) he include<l in this variety as a form.

. S I M M I J ? C O M P . V X I O N S

Because of its extended period of flowei int; it is not e.isy to find a companion that wi l l go with it all the way: how( v<-r, one plant at lea.st may be mentioned which wil l accomi)lisli this feat. This is the Hf)rned Violet (Via la eucculata). of which .so many beautiful improved varieties are now avaikiiili-. . \n excellent companion for .August is also the ilark blue (ientiana seplewfida Lafioderliiana.

The other rock ganlen shrub to be singled out in this article is the S|)ike Ilealh { Brurkenttialia spieulifolia). which is native to southeastern V.u-ropc. Rather against cxiiectations it has proved itself perfectly hardy in the vicinity of New Y o r k ; hardier and more satisfactory, indeed, than most other kinds of I-le:iih,

ovcrlMoko<l to a n'l-at e x t e n t a s a complete arrangi-mciit in it.self, the un l imited combinations possiiilc to attain rt-ndcr it a very u.saMc h i t of design, not alone f o r its lasting cjuality, but liccausc the variation from tloial bouquets is a diversion.

Choosing leaf forms to make the most effective arrangements depends upon their variety as I n size, shape and texture. Leaves ];iatlerned with stripes or spots are very usable because of their variati<m from the more solid «reen tones of the other foliage used. .•\nd by complementing these mass forms, al.so, w i lh leaf blades o f a linear tapering sleiiderness or a delicate tracery a more complete arrangement i s gained. Li-aves with definite broken edses, o r uneven outline, give a nice variation when used with those o f a n unbroken e<ige. Combining textures i s a good plan. Many leaves have a definite sheen wliich is enhanced by their u.se wi th tho.se o f a dull velvety surface o r a rough veine<l nature.

T o g e l t h e most finished effect, the dominant and .subordinate massing of leaf forms should be considered. Dominant massing i s gained b y the use o f larj;er leaf forms o r closer groupings o f smaller leaves. I t is best not to try to g e l dominam massing b y bunchy u r o u j i s . In fact that arrangement becomes less stilted i f only the necessary elements arc used. This wi l l tend l o make the bouquet more decorative in fini.sh, and keeps i t f rom being simply a container filleil with foliage.

The easiest way to analyze a bou(|uet is lo sfutly its silhouette, which checks not only llie solid and <k'licate form placements, liui al.so the openings b e tween these masses. This consideration o f background ojienings wi l l sim-l>lify the whole constructive j i m c e s s .

V,VRIEt) C O L O R S

It i s jiossiiile lo make effective leaf arrangements b y using a variety o f (oIni inLjs . Tile pale cream leaves, found in llie new shoots of jdants a n d shruiis. work in beautifully with the light, medium and dark forms. In combiniiiu the blond and green leaves, a good plan i s to interniinnle the two contrasting tones wi th leaves o f patterned surface made up f rom a combination o f t h e two colors. Th i s lends to relate the two oiniosites in dark and light. Other examples o f color combinations may be found in the ^rays o f Eucalyptus, .Acacia, and Milkweed, and the maroon toniniis o f Canna. Japanese I ' lum and Sumac leaves. These give a nice subt l ' iy to an arrangement b y iheir neutrality o f tone.

.' ome foliage a^es attractively. Many turn a dull gold o r chartreuse, while others become ainio.st a beige idnk. These make handsome arrangements in themselves, but must be used with discrimination to avoid a n apiiear-

ance of funereal nature. This may be avoided by keeping Uiese leaves in .siini)lilie<l Kroupinns.

The trailing type of leaf spray can be introduced very well into a bouquet of more stiff or direct growth leaf form.s, and does lhat little trick of saving the whole effect from being too set in its plan. These sprays very often carry tendrils on their stems which add lo the fragile grace of the unil.s. The sweep of trailiiiK line placed in the bouquet w i l l help to balance the upward growth of most leaf forms. The tapering leaf l)la<les can be persuaded into any line of direction simjily by the reiieated pres.sure of the thumb and forefinser along their sjiines. .Shiny leaves are more brilliant by being wiped with an oiled cloth to pnlisli their surface.

I t A C K O K O I N I) l 'UIN( I I'lJ->;

Leafy bouquets arc especially effective wbcn they artt ijlacc<l aKainsI the linht, whether it be that of a window or a jiale wall. It is lliere lhat the beauty of their silhouette can be more readily realized, the richness of the green more accentuated. .Al.so the p;it-lern of stem and leaf beneath the water line, if the vase is transparent, liecomes a very interesting ilesi;;n in itself. 'I'his section of the bou<iuel is then also a unit to be planned carefully. Some stems adapt tliem.selves very well under w a l i T . By splitting those stems of a jiithy nature, very amusiuK umler-waier curls can be obtaine<l. This is possible with the stem of the Calla.

There is no limitation as to ihe whereabouts or the selection of leaves. .\ Rhubarb or Cabbage leaf may be just the right size, shape or texture to eiih.mce the bouquet. Or the foliaije of some wayward weed may fu l f i l l a role in the arrangement more readily than a cultivated bit of leafage.

. \ few suggestions fur le.if types may be foun<l in the fo l lowing:

For mass. Elephaiil Kar, J.ipanese Taper Plant and Canna leaves are helj iful . K.xamples for jiatierned surface arc .Asjiidistra, Leojiarfl Plant anri some Begonia and Day lily leaves. P n . i d p'ruit. Peony and Fig leaves may be used for their uneven outline. To give linear intniduclion to a bouquet, I'amjias Crass, W'at.sonia aii<l Cattail leaves can be relied upon for distinct emphasis. Concentrated linear liattern forms are Palm leaves. Papyrus aiul Fern fronds. Maidenhair Fern is an old standby for its delicate tracery. Often, the addition of gras-ses to the leaf bouquet wi l l give a fragile variation.

The amusement ga incd by the .striking arrangements one can achieve by using these slighted units of vegetation is not the least of their charm. . \nd by trying a hand at this art newer than flower arrangement, you may wonder why you never experimenicl with i i before.

M i s t a k e n I d e n t i t y

On page 62 of our September issue, we did the new skillet of the International N'ickel Company a grave injustice by dcscriliing it as nickel-plated. .\ciually it is made of Xi-Resi.st, an alloy of ca.st iron and nickel which is chip-proof as nickel-plating is i io l . I i also boasts a bright, shiny face that is easy to keep that way, and is the last word in duralii l i ty.
