the serving pantry is also connected with
the sideboard at one end, which at the
other end is connected with the kitchen
by a pass. These short cuts for passing
dishes save many steps during the day.
The clothes chute starts in the bath room
above and therefore in its location In
the pantry makes it handy for passing
down the towels, ETC.. from above. table
linen and kitchen cloths.
The hardest probelm Is a little home whose
size and cost will not allow OF any special
pantry and the kitchen must do service for
both. Here is a good arrangement. The
sink and drain boards, with window over.
are placed across one end Of the room with
dining room door opening toward it. A
kitchen dresser is placed in the corner
opposite the gas stove. A chimney In the
corner would make a wood stove possible.
The kitchen table should be uilt by a
carpenter with flour bins and drawers
under under It. A smooth marble slab
always makes a good kitchen table top.
The heat register should be placed under
the sink or kitchen table out OF the way.
This convenient arrangement around the
sink can be put in almost any kitchen,
Space should be left between drain boards
and the wall fixtures above for stacking
dishes. Never enclose the under part OF
the sink, as It Is very u~nsanitarY. Pantry
doors between the pantry, kitchen and din
ing room should be directly opposite n
swing from the same side.

- size and shape OF the pantry
and kitchen, each house presenting a diff
ferent problem; but mostly the arrange
ments depend upon the requirements OF
the -housekeeper. Each mistress OF a home
has her own ideas as to where she wants
the chinaware, silver, table linen. kitchen
utensils and food stuffs, and her wishes
should prevail. The object of this article,
therefore, is not to lay down rules as to
arrangement. but merely to make sug-
gestions. The general construction and
details will be fully described.
1 have said that the housekeeper's ideas
In regard to pantry arrangements should
prevail. Possibly not always so. but 1t is
certain that they do prevail, for on no
other part OF the plan is she more certain
OF what she wants Tor what she thinks
she wants.. 1t Is due to this fact that the
subsequent g~allantry on the part Of the
architect In giving her what she wants
that we have so many announcement, in
complete and generally poorly arranged
pantrtes, even from plans drawn by the
most skilled architects. 1t is through see
ing some Of these total failures that other
housewives are improperly led to believe
that architects "ain't women" and don't
know anything about housekeeping" and
80 they go ahead and supply the needed
science on the subject with the usual re-
suit. Few housewives can be made to
realize that the planning and designing
OF p~antries and other kitchen arrangements
is an art to which the architect gives a.
much attention and study as any other
part Of the house and in spite OF some
opinions to the contrary he is better
equipped through knowledge and practice
to plan and design them than they are, for

Pantry fixtures should be vanished
(stained first, IL desired or painted. All
pantry doors should swing both ways from
the hinge. When the pantry fixtures are
of pine and painted it Is a good plan TO
swing the door to the dining room from
the side. That viii make the servant
walk around It to enter as she swings 1t
before her. In this way It acts as a screen.
II the fixtures are painted or stained with
some taste, this arrangement is not absO-
lutely necessary. Fixtures, II OF oak or
birch, can be made TO harmonize with the
dining room in finish. II the latter. they
can be stained and vanished to look like

Of the kitchen dresser. II Is very conven-
lent and every kitchen should nave at least
one dresser; the longer It is the better.
The size OF some homes allow for two
pantries, a kitchen pantry and the buffers
pantry; one for dishes and serving and
the other for pastry work and kitchen
utensils. This makes a very convenient ar
rangement when the space is available.
Now. I will describe an almost perfect
arrangement, such as one seldom sees, not
even In an architects own house Che often
has the hardest client to please). There Is
a vestibule entry with space for fireplace
wood and access TO the refrigerator, which
opens 70 all compartments in the kitchen
pantry side, which is really a work alcove
having no door, but instead OF a cased
opening. This contains a marble pastry
table under which are three flour boxes
and space for the hash bowl. There is also
a spice box and plenty of drawers and
cupboards for kitchen utensils. Also cup
boards for table leaves and brooms. In
the serving pantry are cupboards for
dishes and a sink for washing the fine
chinaware. Under one sinkboard is a
dish warmer consisting OF a buHt-in metal
oven with small radiator pipes close to-
gether forming two shelves. Unde the
other sinkboard is a bottomless drawer
containing quarter-ineh rods set one and
a half inches on center for the dish towels,
When the towels are needed the drawer Is
drawn out. Just under the counter top
in both kitchen and serving pantriss are
sliding shelves that slide out when needed

the Increase in cost being S26i.425. New
York City usually heads the list. and It

occasions that Chicago has ever before

building construction is concerned. Dur

of R6,7O2,16b. or II per cent. in cost.

That this is a phenomenal showing
there is no doubt when one takes into
consideration the magnitude and con-
tinued prosperity of the building trades
in this country. It is indicative not only
of prosperity in the building trades, but
In all lines OF industry and all fields Of
human e~ndeavor, inasmuch as there must
first be a substantial demand for uild
ings before investors will place their
money in this class of security,
and Furthermore an assurance that
the prospective purchaser or tenants
will have funds with which to pay. 1t
Is not believed that the activity which
characterized September is a squirt, but
rather hat II is a part of a great and
substantial Increase to come and be main

In the entire list of forty-eight cities
there were only ten decreases, and these
rave very little bearing upon the situa-

ing table is the tremendous activity in all
of the Pacific coast cities with the excep-
ton of San Francisco, where there was
a falling off OF 81 per cent. Spokane has
an increase OF 2S7 per cent, Seattle 81,
Portland SO, Los Angeles so and Tacoma
