serni-monthly reporting system,

there exists no chance of the act

suits of informal conferences re-
garding the French debt, recent

The Small
Kitchen

THE space planned for the
kitchen is gradually dimin-
ishing. There sgas a time
when the kitchen was considered
a very important room and was
therefore given more space in the
house than the drawing room.
Women are now demanding the
maximum of efficiency from their
housekeeping equipment. We no
longer need the very spacious
kitchen. The small one suffices,
provided it is we'll planned and
equipped for concentrated work.
Closet space is very necessary.
1t can be arranged to meet the de-
mGnds of the articles to be stored
and yet take little space from the
small kitchen. In a model home,
recently seen, the closets were
built from the ceiling to a point
low enough to be convenient.
Dishes and bottles seldom used are
stored on the high Shelves. The
dishes in use regularly are easily
coached on the lover shelves. Yet
a lot of space usually wasted from
closet to ceiling is conserved by
building this closcet high and u.s.
ing the lower space fer work
bic. A small, narrow space be-
tween two pieces of kitchen furni-
tu-c can be converted into broom
and mop closet.
Drawers should be made deep
and wide if space permits. Linen,
silver, cleaning materials, &c, can
be stored in these separate drawers
and not be in evidence. A folding
ironing board is another innova-
ton for the small kitchen. It can
lie set on hinges against a wall
and lowered to rest on another
hinged leg when in use.
In planning the kitchen, be sure
to have a drain pipe attached to
your icebox so that drainage can
flow out of the house instead of
into pan. You can then go away
overnight without further thought
OF that drain-pan overlooking.
Placing a stove near the work
table and near the sink is splen-
did plan. This arrangement al
low. the greatest efficiency and
saves many steps.
An arrangement seen in model
kitchen shows a stove set beneath
window where cooking odors can
freely escape. On the right of the
stove is placed the work table and
on the left the sink. 'fhe woman
who works at this little group will
find the plan very convenient as
food can be prepared at the right,
set on the stove without taking
more than one step AMI the pans
set in the sink at the left as they
are removed from the stove.

Delicious Sweet
Pototo Dish

DELOW the Mason and Dixon
ID line, sweet potatoes are always
welcome on the menu. Perhaps
because this variety of the potato
is found in such abundance in the
South, cooks famed for their
recipes have experimental with it
and evolved some tasty new dishes.
Here is one way: Pare and boil
a number of sweet potatoes. When
cooked soft, drain off the water
and mash them to a pulp. Line a
CREASED baking dish with a layer
of the sweet potatoes, cover with
marshmallows, sprinkle with Gin
namon. Then repeat these layers
until the baking dish is filled. Dot
the top with marshmallows and
sprinkle with cinnamon. A few
bits of butter are spread over the
top and the baking dish set in a
hot oven for a few minutes until
the marshmallows have melted and
Drowned. This dish is served as
a vegetable in the South although
it does sound delicious enough to
be placed in the class of desserts.

Doris flashed a look at the grin

THAT she sensed a peculiarly
strained atmosphere among the
group she had left smiling but a

You will need a hiking suit and
it should preferably be of tweed or
some wool material. 1t is a good
plan to take a lighter pair of
Knockers and a blouse for hiking
in the warmer regions of the park.
You will need one or two travelling
suits. A frock and cape make
