Fireboards should be paint¬ 
ed to suit the house. Color¬ 
ful red hot poker plants 
and decorative string bean 
vines make gay the fire¬ 
place at the right. Painted

There is nothing so forlorn 
as an empty, charred grate 
in summer. Decorative 
painted fire boards have 
been used in the New York 
house of Kemp Starrett 
FILLING 
THE SUMMER 
FIREPLACE 
When the grate is not removable 
one may give a summer appear¬ 
ance to a fireplace with a wicker 
or wrought iron basket filled 
with flowers
