CONVENIENT SINK FOR KITCHEN

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
A sink out in the middle of the
kitchen is very convenient, espe-
cially if it is built with sufficient
flat surfaces to hold the dishes wait
ing to be washed or to stack those
that are finished. or accommodate veg
etahes or other food which must be
cleaned before cooking. There is no
special reason why water pipes must
always stick to the Kitchen wall. HO-
tells and restaurants use the center
sink frequently, so that many people
can handle dishes without cOlliding
with each other. Laboratories often
have sinks that are similarly aces
sible from any side.
Putting the sink In the center of an
unusually large kitchen cuts in half
the distances to be walked in handling
food and clearing up meal, so II is
one of the best changes that can be
made in undertaking an old-fashioned
kitchen. Where the wall space is
broken by many doors or windows or

wall provides necessary work center

ment.

Spring styles for the junior miss
give evidence that designers are work
ing along the theory that the ensem-
BILE costume is as necessary to the
smart appearance of the very young
as 1t is to that of the more mature.
In planning little folks outfits fash
ion places special stress on color.
Whereas in seasons past neutral tints,
especially beige and tans, were the
smart thing for coats, now the mode
calls for bright color. Soft green Is
a particular favorite with stylists at
present and it is said that spring will
see it outstanding. Blues, orchids and
bright red are also cited in advance

newed emphasis placed on navy.

this form of plating is considered tres

In the realm of junior ensembles
there is nothing prettier or more de-

which combine printed silk or rayon

for the dress, also for the lining of

This compose is worked out in

the simplest is the one-piece frock

sleeveless, for sleevelessness is

lined with the same silk and often the
collar, cuffs and pocket trims are of
the print.
