MODERN KITCHEN EVEN IN COUNTRY
Can Rival the Jazziest
 Penthouse Kitchenette .(.. in Equipment

No matter how far in the coun' Ery . kitchen may be, 1t can Stil ] Dc as sleek and modern as e new penthouse kitchenette, according tc Fay I. Hamilton and Kathleen Robertson. Telling of the newes, kerosene ranges and refrigeratorS they write in McCall'S for August:
 "A modern kitchen means equip- snent modern in style and efficient in work. It Is good news for wo- men on farms and in summer homes that kerosene. that pioneer fuel now functions in equipment as up. to-date as tomorrow's sunrise.
 "Just to show what pleasing ef. fleets could b eachieved with lib. erai use of paint and handy man in the family, we built farm kitch- en. We kept largely to open shelves because they are inexpensive to build and in most country homes greasy dust deposits are not e prob- lem.
 we painted all the walls and eupboards Q bright clear yellow, over which we scattered fruit and vegetable decalcomanias in red, yel- low. and green. (You remember the transfers you pasted on your hand an your childhood7 These are the same thing.) The linoleurn rug iS in red, black and tan, the dining table and chairs in the same yellow as the walls, and the work stool in red. The entire charming table Set- ting came from the five-and-ter-- including . quaint red and white iatticed flower potl The china again is yellow, the table linen blue, and the glasses cherry red.
 "Ail that gayety and charm are built around e most efficient kitchen scheme, with the three essential working areas refrigerator -prep- aration, range-serving and sink dishwashing--in proper relation to each other. We included dining space, because we like to cat in the Kitchen when 1t is aS bright and clean as this one.
 "1ime was, we realize sadly, when Kerosene ranges could be pretty dirty, but manufacturers have im- proved the efficiency of their burn CTS @ notably that with proper care pans may stay bright. The new, easily removable burner parts Sim- plify the cleaning Of the range. Proper care includes the daily clean- ing of wickS or weekly cleaning of kindlers (depending on the type Of Fange), and the keeping Of chimney and burners free from dirt or car- bon deposits. Tn order to get the hottest flame, without smoke or odcr, c good grade of kerosene must Do used, wickS or kindlers adjusted to the correct height, chinnneys and burners placed in correct position. Moreover the range must be abSo- luteiy level in order to assure an sven How of oil to the burners.
 "Oil reservoirs are now cleverly built in, to give more pleasing lines and to save wall space. But they are just as easy to fili and replace as the old ones were. The built-in ovens are of generous size, with racks, indicators to show temperatures, removable parts for ease in cleaning. Some ovens even boast of inbulation. And you should have seen the beautiful cakes and roasts we turned out of these ovensl But the greatest improvement, not 70 be seen at a glance, is the im- proved efficiency of the burners, which give . quick, intense heat, easily adjusted to modern cookery methods.
