The article summarises the needs and problems peculiar to the modern home and shows in the illustrations a number of stimulating solutions offered by acknowledged masters of the art of furnishing. THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE NEW DELHI is described and illustrated with special photographs of the more important buildings designed by SIR EDWIN LUTYENS and SIR HERBERT BAKER. PICASSO AND THE CUL-DE-SAC OF MODERN PAINTING is the title of an article by Mr. W.
