plenty OF cooking utensils, china, gla,
for comfort. .
One OF the first things to remember
Is that the articles to buy for the
cottage should be gay and cool and
inexpensive. so that there will be no
worry about loss or breakage. During
these hot days try to plan to do as
much of your shopping as possible in
one store; it will save your nerves and
your time. There are any number of
shops in town where you can 60 with
S-Lr list and pick out everything for
your Summer home and garden at a
minimum expense and loss of hours.
In these stores you can buy all
types of cooking utensils for the
kitchen. One set of pots and pans
are of cream colored enamel with
apple-green trimming. Although these
utensils are not of the heavy metal,
they will last very well during the
season. Many of these will not have
as much use as the others during the
Summer and these may be left at the
cottage for the next year or returned
to the city to supplement the Winter
kitchen supply.
THE "silverware' is very nice look
Ing, with Just a simple design,
and inexpensive enough so that you
may purchase several dozen of each
thing, both for the kitchen and
dining room, giving you plenty for
buffet suppers. 1t is advisable to buy
sufficient fiat silver if you are planning
on using it in your picnic baskets, as
invariably a spoon or fork will be
lost in the sand While on the sub
tect of knives and forks, don't forget
those for the kitchen, such as the
long-handled forks and pairing knives,
that may be purchased with green
handles to match the utensils. II
you are planning on green in the
kitchen. you may get all the glass
Jars and bottles for the refrigerator
IN green. Be sure to buy enough to
last. as they are breakable and also
In the Summer so much has to be
stored in the refrigerator The large
salt and pepper jars with perforated
green glass, as do jars for the various
kinds of spices.
There are any number Of fancy
salt and pepper shakers for the
and salad bowls, There are all types
Of glass ash trays to match any color
scheme that you may pick for the
various rooms in the cottage. There
should be plenty OF ash trays every
where so that cigarettes will not be
placed on the edge of tables, as
Summer cottages can quickly go up
In smoke" If fire hazards are not
eliminated as much as possible.
The next thing to consider is the
amount of china necessary and then
on the color that you prefer as
daily diet. as I am going to sug-
gest that you buy 1t all OF the same
design. This is by far the most
practical way of doing 1t regardless
OF whether you buy inexpensive china
or not. II you purchase several sets
to take to the beach, each a different
design and color, you will find that
for the large parties you will have
to mix your china in order to care
for the number of guests. Also if the
eets are of the dozen or half dozen
OF each size plate, you will soon find
that with the breakage you will be
forced to mix your china even for
a small party. However, If it is all
the same you need never worry.
One very attractive set, if all
the members of the family like red
and white, is whole set, including
meat and vegetable platters of white
with a wide border of clear red and
tiny gold edging Another is of blue,
patterned after the famous "old blue
India" that Is always good, as it
may be added to at any time. II
you prefer to have all glass, there
Is lovely set Of sea blue A very
attractive combination Of china and
glass may be worked out for the
