| Vogue |
| "Vacations..." Colette's column, which evokes her growing daughter, "Let's talk about our children..." gives us the opportunity to see the summer outfits of the well-bred children of the time. The Decorative Arts exhibition, fashion accessories from Vuitton, Hermes... it's an opportunity to talk about this saddler again. The jewelry from Mauboussin or Cartier... The furniture on display... pages of advertising (we read "Vogue"), each as pleasant to look at as the last, sometimes surprising. The table of contents is on page three, the choice is yours... |

| La Vie à la Campagne |

Should you consider running a farm in Morocco... - Goat breeding, which should not be bought at fairs and should be measured with a measuring rod and a zoom tape... Cattle breeding... The development of French horse breeding... Crimson clover... Regional architecture at the Decorative Arts Exhibition... A visit to the Château de Loubressac... (now private and closed to visitors); Tinkering with a battery to make the radio work... The farm, duck, rabbit, and beehives... All sections are interspersed with photographs... There is no table of contents; you must read through this magazine, which is of great interest to those considering living as a gentleman farmer, or simply to those curious about how farms were organized in the last century.
