”Well Mary! 
here tee are 
back from a 10-day visit with Ed and Marge, and I’ll bet we spent over half the 
time in their ‘back yard’ as they call it! 
“Do you realize what they have — in a space no larger than ours? The play¬ 
ground where the children have the time of their lives in the sand and on the 
swings. Then think of their cool terrace where we played cards in the afternoons 
— and didn’t you like that little nook where we ate the sizzling steaks cooked on 
their garden fireplace? 
“Why, those folks virtually LIVE outside! 
“Dear, it’s dawning on me that with a few changes we can make our outside 
just as liveable as theirs. You remember this old house before we remodeled—how 
we liked it except for certain old-fashioned arrangements — and how we got 
hold of that architect, and with his help, turned it into our home. 
“I’m sure we can do the same with our garden. Let’s see if we can find someone 
who’ll talk this matter over with us. If he can help us, we’ll jolly well go ahead!”
