At one side Of the room closets for storing
canvases have been built, with two-foot
square space cut off for real china closet.
The other ambitious kitchenetts belongs to
a bachelor girl. She bought small refrig-
orator and had it placed beside her set wash
bowl, its drain connecting with the waste pipe.
Above, she had convenient shelves built, with
doors that concealed their contents. With
few well arranged curtain poles and several
yards of pretty chintz she built by kitch-
enette for herself
Even the muff-box kitchenette could furnish

feast could be expected from the owners OF the

theatre supper, luncheon or even breakfast

near-kitchenettes With the bait Of theatre

cream and pickle are more than one expected
to see.
For the judicious investment Of theatre tick
cts these were few of the feasts that FOL
lowed OF course, the girl who owned the real
ice box had the advantage Of being able to get
things ready ahead of time, bat the less pre-
tentious kitchenetters did amazing feats. These
are some of the little menus served, with reci-
pes for making the principal dishes. AS near
ly all sandwich filings may be made ahead
of time and the sandwiches laid up when need
ed, requiring little time or room, they are not
a serious kitchenette problem. The rolls are
easily warmed in an oven in the paper bag they
are delivered in or covered with damp cloth
on a hot pan over a medium flame.
DREAMED TONGUE
Take one Derby tongue, put up In glass, and
dice it. Make a good cream sauce, smooth
but not too thick, add the tongue and allow it
to heat through. Sprinkle il with teaspoon
full Of chopped parsley, and it Is ready TO
serve. Offer horseradsh sandwiches with the
tongue.
Warm and soften half a cupful of butter
and add to it a dessertspoonful of freshly
grated horseredish. Mix to a smooth paste
and lightly spread on rye bread slices cut fin
ger width.
DEVILLED ASPARAGUS
This is a possible addition il there is the
smallest Of ovens available. Drain and cut
fine one can of asparagus tips Add to them
small cupful Of bread crumbs, one beaten

egg, the juice Of q small onion, a quarter Of
gill Of melted butter, pepper, salt, dessert
spoonful of Worcestershire sauce, teaspoon
full of catsup and teaspoonful Of chopped
tarrsgon leaves. Mix thoroughly and bake in
buttered ramekins. Coffee, Of course, is served,
and for sweets angel cake with preserved fresh
almonds will be found excellent.
BUTTERED LOBSTER
Beat two eggs with tablespoonful of butter
to smooth cream. Add gill Of cream, pep
per and salt. Put all into chatting dish with
the meat of a cold boiled lobster that has been
diced. Let it heat and slightly thicken, but do
not allow it to boil. Serve hot on slices of
toast. Rye bread lettuce sandwiches and grape
fruit salad complete this MENU except for cof-
fee, unless a sweet dish is desired
ESCALLOPED OYSTERS
Drain and dry on a towel quart of oysters,
medium size. Add to them large cupful Of
dry bread crumbs, pepper, salt, gill Of cream,
half gill of butter and the beaten white of
an egg Mix lightly and fill buttered ramekins,
adding little cream TO each. Bake in oven or

should be served with the oysters, and coffee.

them being arranged in this way. The agent

them, across the end Of the room, with space
between them for the door, All the way
