model of convenience.
This cupboard should receive very
careful attention in building. There
are dishes in every household outfit
that are not in use every day. The
housewife likes to have an assortment
to bring out on extra occasions and
she appreciates a good place to keep
them between times. A good many
china closets are loosely constructed,
dust Sits in through a hundred cracks
and the result is hat the spare dishes
have to be carefully wiped every time
