FOR A SERVICEABLE
AND CONVENIENT PANTRY

without a raid on cellar or storeroom.
-.
The section of the pantry beneath the
central open shelf may be divided SO as
to greatly facilitate the waitress work.
First should come shallow drawers. di-
vided into felt-lined compartments to keep
the small silver in when not in use. Here
also should be kept a corkscrew, can
opener. several sharp knives, a glass lemon
squeeZer a nutmeg CRATER, shaker and
an ice shredder. Similarly divided drawers
can be utilized to hold plate doilies, tray
cloths and napkins. while at the back are
long. narrow divisions where centerpieces
can be stored without creaSing on paste
board rolls.
Beneath may be deeper drawers for ia
blecloths. while to the side Is very deep
drawer for soiled linen.
In this underpart should be shelves to
hold the stone bread jar and tin cake
box. Another department may be devoted
to dust pan and brush. broom. sweeper,

If one is not lucky enough to possess
a built-in refrigerator-many Of them now

should always be at least a small Ice chest
in the pantry. where grape fruit, raw oys-
tiers and salads may be kept chilled till the
last minute before serving. For small

ators Is often big enough.

be estimated Naturally, the glass doors

VERY modern house has pantry
True, II Is sometimes small as TO
be merely passageway between
d the dining room and kitchen; but
1t Is big improvement on none at
all as was so much the rule In old -fas hion
ed houses.
A pantry to be of real service must be
easily reached by the cook In her trips to
and from the range, and should have
slide as well door on the kitchen side
Indeed many prefer JUST the slide. This is.
however a mistake when but one maid is
kept.
A rather novel arrangement for such
slide is to have It on the order of turn
table. moving but one way. This prevents
much of the odor of cooking from escap-
ing into the dining room.
II possible, have pantry well lighted;
at least one window IS Indispensable. For
merly II was quite customary to build q
dark closet. At 1t up with small sink and
shelf or two and consider 1t high art In
the pantry line.
The sink should be as commodious as
possible. and have in addition to an in
clined grooved board at side where
dishes may be set TO drain. plate rack
where the finer china can be deposited De-
fore drying instead of being piled in dish
II the space around the sink is white
tiled 1t will greatly facilitate perfect SAM

should be utilized for closet rooms. II

These closets may conveniently be divided
into an upper and lower section, the one
reaching to the ceiling. the other to the
hoor Between them should run an open
space where dishes can be quickly placed
during serving. This does away with the
necessity OF a table in the pantry, for which
usually there is little room.
The upper part Is naturally devoted to
keeping china and glass: on the lower
shelves that in constant use: above 1t. for
gala occasions.
Ii Is also found convenient where space
permits TO devote some OF these upper Sec
tons to storing the finer ,h tinwsrs that is

The Fall Couture

The new autumn coiffures afford to every
woman the opportunity to make herself at
tractive IL she will. The word "coiffures'
is used advisedly. for fashion no longer de-
mands that women Of all types and degrees
Of lovelness-and even those of no appar-
ent loneliness at all-shall slavishly follow
one mode, whether 1t is becoming or not.
That sort of "fashionableness" was so flag
rantly overdone in the case of the exagger-
ated pompadour that nowadays the really
modish woman is distinguished less by her
close adherence to the fashion Of the
moment than by her ingenious adaptation
of it to her own individual requirements.
In ony one essential detail is Madame la
Mode at all arbitrary, and that is In the
matter Of waving the hair. 1t is not good
form to be SO palpably MARCHED as to sug-
gest Involuntary thoughts Of the curling iron
to every beholder: but one simply must dis
play a wealth of softly waving locks this
season. or submit to be considered hope
lessly out Of date. All the new millinery
seems to have been modelled for youthful
faces and luxuriant tresses. and the outlook
would be distinctly dreary for the woman
who cannot lay claim to either asset, were
1t not possible to assume a virtue, even
though one have 1t not.
Fortunately, however, a becoming ar
rangement Of the hair will go q long way
toward investing the face with youthful
y
The moderately high couture will prevail
during the coming winter with outdoor
toilets. while the fashion of wearing the
hair low on the neck will be popular for
evening and indoor dress among the young
er women.
The low couture, though charming. Is not
at any season of the year adapted for the
street. but with the winter costume 1t is
simply unthinkable. In fact. no matter
how we'll the hair rs cared for. constant
contact with 1t will inevitably result In
a greasy-looking spot on the collar OF gown
or coat while a fur collar or boa will quick
ly assume q NANCY appearance that Is. to
say the least unlovely. Moreover, II is
virtually impossible to keep the modern
hat securely In place when the hair Is dress
ed low, while there Is Invariably a hiatus
between the hat trimmings and the coil of
hair that is not only inartistic. but dis
tressingly untidy.
In the high coiffure the hair is waved
softly and gathered into loose coil on
the crown Of the head, the front arrange
ment being managed with view to forming
a becoming frame for the face. A youth
full effect Is produced by the simple addi
ton of a smart ribbon bow, placed little
on one side. Just where the coil and the
front hair meet. Large tortoise shell pins
are used for fastening the coil, and the
loose locks are secured with invisible wire
pins. False -eurls are no longer worn by
women Of taste. Occasionally q 3eweled
