there Is about all the closet room IN
that house one could comfortably fill.
How nice this isv' we all exclaimed
as the wonders were disclosed. What
a lovely place to keep your shirt waists

apartment and has to keep her blouses

couch. AS she complained TO me the
other day, II have the greatest sym

BILE under cars, for l spend half my
life under the bed looking for different
wardrobe combinations
| But TO get back 10 Elizabeth and her
/ closets. IN answer TO our paeans of
praise this ungrateful house owner re-
marked: Nice, indeed, Why, I've so
many places 10 put things now l never
know where anything isF'
SO. you see, there are drawbacks
even TO some of the luxurles OF life.
In spite Of this disparaging criticism
the closets We're models from a sani-
tHry viewpoint, as the cupboards and
drawers reached to the top Of the cell
ing, and every housekeeper knows
what this means, lot OF tedious clean
Ing. When the closet stops several
feet short OF the ceiling it is merely
repository for dirt. To be sure,
these high top shelves are inconven-
lent for everyday use. but they are
excellent for storing purposes. An
other good suggestion we found In a
closet on the second floor in which
brushes. brooms and pals were kept
for upstairs use There were in this
closet faucets from which hot and
cold water could be drawn so the
maid would not have TO depend upon
the bathroom for her water supply.
One more hint and I'm through with
the house that Elizabeth built She
has been particularly happy In the ar
rangement of the lights throughout
the home, and they are all placed at
a height easily reached by medium
sized woman. And. best Of all, they
are In the right places. For instance. /
side lights flank the dressing table, |
and an artistic electrolier hangs over
the bureau. There are reading lights /
placed at the head of the beds, and |
the cook has a splendid light near the |
range.
Since II is no longer the fashion to /
get up TO let the milkman in, a small /
doorway just big enough to put
milk bottle through opens into the
back hall These are a few of the
little conveniences that the average
architect overlooks. Don't you think
they do?
When Meat Is High.
When some of us are signing petit
tons to stop eating meat and others
of us are not buying 1t because we
can't afford 1t. II Is well TO be ON
the lookout for vegetarian dishes that
are appetizing and nourishing. l have
found such dish In a Viennese roast,
and I'm going TO give you the chance
to try 1t. Here is the formula: White
string beans, six ounces; red lentils,
four ounces; macaroni, four ounces;
6readcrumbs, four ounces; tomatoes,
can; one small package of
vegetable powder, two eggs, two
ounces of vegetable fat, two ounces
Of sage, chopped fine; peel of one
lemon, little mint and lemon. thyme.
salt and pepper.
And here's the way TO mix It: Soak
The beans overnight and skin them.
Cook them and the lentils separately
N Just enough water to make them
ender. Stew the macaroni with the
herbs, lemon peel, tomato and very
title water. Mix together in a bowl
With the fat, crumbs, dry sage, eggs

do hope you will think gratefully,
