THE PERFECT KITCHEN.
IL Has Many Modern Conveniences.
They Are Crowded Into Very Small

IL Has Many Modern Conveniences.
They Are Crowded Into Very small
Space.
Every woman who takes an interest
in domestic arrangements considers
her kitchen with as mach care as her
parlor. Whether large or small just as
suitable appointments are needed. If
small and with only one window, it
should be painted in a very light tone.
If the room is large and airy, the wood
work may he a little darker. The floor
may be painted with two or three
coats and then allowed to harden. Very
desirable is a smooth pine shellacked
or well-fitted linQleum of a durable
color, which may be frequently washed
and wiped once in while with kero-
sene.
In kitchen comforts there are some
essentials, such as ample closets, of
which there should be three. One for
coarse china and porcelain of a finer
sort; another roomy place for t1s.
graniteware, iron utensils and other
convenences; the third for odds and
ends of every day use. The china closet
may be made by placing some three or
four narrow shelves in the inside wood
work of a closed door. This gives a dec
orative effect, the tints of the china
acting as a bit of color for this working
room. Or wider shelves may be placed
over the stationary washtubs in the
apartment kitchen, and then dressed
with white shelf paper for large plat
tiers, soup tureens and the like. The
upper shelves may have curtain, hung
on rings to a narrow wooden rod. This

can be washed. 1t should be carefully
adjusted and tackled on all edges ex-
cept the front so it will not roll up.
Among contrivances of a useful ma
ture is an ironing board which, when
not in use, becomes seat. 1t may have
a large, roomy drawer for the keeping
of holders, wax, etc.
Among new designs is the kitchen
cabinet, or portable closet. full of pig
eon-holes for spices. bins for flour and
meat and other ingredients used in
cooking. In some of these portable af-
fairs there is wooden shelf which
forms a table, and closes when not in
use. These closets take up but little
space and are movable anywhere.
For the keeping of meats, milk, but
ter, ice, etc. the tiled refrigerator sur
passes anything yet invented 1t is lined
with pure white tiles inside and out,
and fitted up with all the conveniences
required.
Yet with all these new additions for
excellent housekeeping there is still n
hcmely fascination in the old fashioned
farm house kitchen, with it's rag car
pet, it's dried herbs hanging on the wall
it's ancient clock and looking glass, its
wooden or split bottom rockers. The
window shows a lace curtain and
ginger jar filled with garden blossoms.
1t is a room which speaks of cosiness
and comfort, and of TIE .never-surpass-
ed old-fashioned cooking.

It's Success Depends on Having a
Good Leader.
This game may be played without
paper, pencil, or appliances of any
sort, and by any number of persons.
Some one is selected as leader, and all
he has to do is to give the players the
first three letters of some word that he
thinks Of Say, for example, that he
thinks of the word "canopy"-he tells
the players that the word begins with
CAN, and what they have to do is to
complete 1t.
There is no special order in which
the players may answer; any one has
a right to speak as soon as he has
thought of a word beginning with
can. The first player giving the right
word gets credit for it; If two speak
at the same moment, both get credit.
The interest of the game may be i'm
creased by limiting the number of let
ters that the word shall contain, but
this makes it a little harder to guess
