Home Furnishing: Facts & Figures about Furniture, Carpet, Rugs, Lamps, Wall Paper

I HOPE that this little volume will be judged rather by its virtues of commission than by its sins of omission. It is not a complete handbook and guide to the decoration and furnishing of homes, but it treats adequately for the first time many subjects usually slighted or neglected. Most of the chapters have already appeared in magazine form. For permission to reproduce Chapters I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, X, XI, XIII, XVI, XVII, XIX, XX, I am indebted to " Country Life in America"; to " Suburban Life" for Chapters IX, XII and XXI; to "House and Garden" for Chapter XV; to "American Homes and Gardens" for Chapters VIII and XXII.
