WITH THE HOUSE BEAUTIFUL

AN ILLUSTRATED MAGAZINE OF
HOUSEHOLD ART ECONOMY

By Helleu!

BY the artist-genius of France, Paul Helleu, whose work in dry-point
etching has startled European art and attracted the admiration of the
whole world. This colored drawing in full size (3 feet high by 2 feet
2 inches wide), reproduced in every detail, sent free with trial five months’ sub-
scription to “The House Beautiful.”

This small cut of the work is merely a miniature in size compared with the
original picture to be sent you, and is but a hint of the beautiful work itself.
Not a lover of art in America but will prize possession of this masterpiece of
the genius of the hour. As sent you on dry-point etching paper, with the
original details of line and color — bearing no imprint whatever save the signa-
ture of the artist — it proves a picture that reflects credit upon its possessor’s
knowledge of eminent genius and of the world’s developments in art.

Paul Helleu began his art life as a painter in pastel and made for himself a
reputation in the Ibcole des Beaux Arts. One day he called upon Tissot, the
Christ painter, and found him at work on a dry-point etching. The process
interested him so keenly that he took it up and practised it until he had sur-
passed his teacher. He is said to be able to finish a portrait at a single sitting,
so marvelous is his knowledge of the effect of each stroke. His recent portrait
of Consuelo, Duchess of Marlborough, who sat for him in Paris, is unexcelled
in beauty of line and brilliancy of technique. An example of such skill will be
appreciated in any house, and all should act promptly to secure this admirable
reproduction of an exquisite work of art.

THE HOUSE BEAUTIFUL

THE kind of people who will prize a genuine art-treasure like this is the kind to whom this
magazine appeals with most vivid interest. It is an illustrated monthly magazine which
gives the world’s best advice upon every feature connected with making a house beau-
tiful. It is invaluable for either mansion or cottage. It shows you wherein taste goes farther
than money. Its teachings have saved costly furnishings from being vulgar ; and, on the other
hand, thousands of inexpensive houses are exquisite examples of superb taste from its advice.
It presents its information interestingly in a very plain, practical way. Everything is illustrated.

“ ‘ The House Beautiful ’ is a magazine which no woman interested in the beauty of her
home can afford to be without. It is full of suggestions for house building, house dec-
orating and furnishing, and is equally valuable for people of large or small income.”

ELLEN M. HENROTIN,

Ex-Pres. Nat. Federation of JVomen's Clubs.
