One of the secrets of efficient work
in the kitchen is good utilization Of
wall space for the necessary equip
ment. The illustration, from the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture,
shows an excellent grouping of equip
ment in rather large kitchen. The
object is to bring the various work
centers as close together as possible,
so that the housewife will not take
needless steps in preparing or clearing
away meals. In this particular kitch-
en- the entire fourth side of the room
is taken up by large dining table
seating eight persons. In case where
there is separate dining room or al
cove, the same part of the room might
be fitted with shelves or used to ac-
commOdate any additional equipment,
such as a work table or an ironing
board.

boards, is on the left, in front of
