Outdoor Fireplace Will Add a Touch of Charm to Home BETTER HOMES EDITION A writer in Canadian Homes and Garden points out that there seems to be some inherited trait in human naâ€" ture which makes us all enjoy cookâ€" ing and eating out of doors. That this is true can be readily verified by the increasing popularity of the outdcor fireplace. These are no longer hitâ€"orâ€" miss affairs which are hastily assemâ€" bied out of odds and ends that happen A writer in Canadian Garden points out that th be some inherited trait in ture which makes us all ing and eating out of door is true can be readily ve: to be available, but, rather, efficient fireplaces built to dimensions that have been found satisfactory, and design»d to serve a practical purpose.

No meal tastes betâ€" ter than one cooked over the fire and eaten outside, particularly if you have had a hand in the cooking. Here is one place where too imany cooks make the broth. The outside fireplace, it is scarcely necessary to add, also makes it posâ€" sible on occasion to avoid heating the house even for meals in the ultra warm days.
