Perhaps there can be found no
better way to plan improvements of
ones kitchen than to sit down in it
and write out it's good and bad points,
noting what can be done to make the
good ones better and to do away with
the bad ones. Frequently, it will be
found that changes can be made with
little or no expense and will be of
much benefit to the worker The
housekeeper should ask herself first,
/ is 1t sanitary? Second, is it conven-
lent?
To be sanitary, the floors must be
free from cracks that harbor dirt and
disease, the walls impervious to water
and grease, the woodwork simple and
easily cleaned; there must be no dust
catchers hanging in the room, and
there should be sufficient windows and
doors and these so arranged as to
keep the room light and we'll venti-
lated at all seasons of the year.
| To be convenient, the articles of
furniture, such as the stove, tables,
and sink must be so arranged that
the work may be done with as few
steps as possible and yet so that the
room will not seem crowded. There
must also be sufficient utensils and
labor-saving devices to tighten work
as much as possible.
Through some popular delusion,
sinks are usually placed too low, also
kitchen tables and cabinets should be
of such height from the floor that
one can stand erect while working,
without STOPPING or stretching 1t is
easy to make the table legs longer
or shorter as needed and thus add ma

| fort Of the work.
A cabinet will save steps by having
| the needed things all in one place.
| They are found on the market in great
| variety of design and range of price.
| In large kitchens, table in the center
of the room will often be found con-
venient. Sometimes a small table on
| large casters or wheels, which can
easily be moved where needed will
be the best. In small rooms, tables
| built along the wall, hung by chains
or held UP by props, which can be
let down when not in use, may solve
some of the problems.
If there is but one clock in the
house it should be in the kitchen,
where it will save many unnecessary
steps each day. A chair should be
placed conveniently near the work
table where one may sit while pairing
vegetables or doing other work which
does not require standing. Many
housekeepers find a high stool COM
Portable and much work can be done
while sitting.
AS in any we'll regulated workshop.
all the equipment necessary for the
convenience of the worker should be
supplied, but that equipment should
be installed first Of all which will be
used most often, and it should be Of
such a character that it will result in
the greatest saving of labor.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: "a am a

ID Your sister should not go to
dances without her husband. When
she married him she was familiar
with his tastes and knew he did not

enough to give up dancing unless he

1t is dangerous to have a friend who
talks about his former friends, and
the sooner you sever connections with
him the better 1t will be. Your char
