PLAN OF MODEL KTTCHEN

In 1t. Too much space between the
tates too many unnecessary steps. A
suitable moderate sized kitchen Ia
about II by IA feet.
The kitchen should be convenient to
the dining room. either opening direct
ly into II or. still better, having the
pantry between the rooms. In the lat
ter case there should be a cupboard
with sliding doors opening into both
kitchen and pantry for convenience
In setting the table and removing
dishes to the kitchen. The cut gives
a plan of a convenient kitchen, show
ing position of windows and doors,
also the larger pieces Of furniture.
In this plan note the position of the
refrigerator. which can be reached
from the outside so that Ice may be
put into II without coming into the
kitchen. There is also a window In
the cool room to which a window cup
board can be attached. This room
with its cupboard will take the place
Of the refrigerator In winter and may
be used as a baking room In hot
weather.
The sink. with draining board, Is To-
Gated on the side next the pantry.
Sliding doors are arranged at the back
SO that dishes washed in the sink may
be placed on the pantry shelves with
out going into the pantry itself. An
other convenient feature in the ar
rangement of this kitchen is the posi-
ton of windows between range aud
work table. giving good light and ven
tilation. II possible avoid having a
door leading upstairs opening In the
kitchen. because in such cases It is al
most impossible TO keep the odors OF
cooking from penetrating TO the up
stairs rooms.
Wall and Floor Covering.
The kitchen TO be sanitary In every
particular should be finished in some
way that will permit of frequent wash
ing. The best wall covering is the sim
plest and most easily cared for mate
rial that can be purchased. There is
nothing better for this purpose than
sanitas. a material similar TO oilcloth.
The first cost IS little more than
paint or tinting. but when carefully
applied Il is more lasting. Sanitas is
put on with paste IN horizontal strips
around the room. The edge OF each
piece must be pasted down securely,
and care should be- taken 20 avoid
wrinkles II a tablespoonful of mo-
lasses is added 10 each quart OF paste
