Weeding Out Cupboards.

Many housekeepers have altogether
too many things to work with, and at
the same time really lack some essen
tial utensils Their cupboards are lum-
hered up with pots and pans that they
seldom use or are not tit to use, because
the thrifty woman cannot bear to throw
them away, And having these dis
ahled veterans she does not try to get
something better adapted to her work
1t makes work hard To Gull over, four
or five times a day, n lot of .anky stew
pans, cracked cups, grease-soaked plates
or things that won't work. 1t makes
housecleaning hard to set these things
in order and they are decidedly UNI
profitable stock for the housekeeper to
carry over from one year to another.
After a glimpse into some kitchens
and cupboards | have thought that it
would be Il good idea if the owners
were compelled to move, if only out into
the back yard and back again. There
would he such a wedding out of useless
collections and so much more space In
the working department OF the house
made available. The outfit of a profess
sonal cook and the kitchen of n dining
car are good object lessons in arranging
the cooking machinery.
