Sending a Kitchen to the Fair A COMPLETE kitchen with a real stove, refrigerator, tluk, work table and other necessaries Is being sent by tho Department of Agricul ture to San Francisco for tho fair. This kitchen is not u "model" lu the seuso that ever) housewife is to try to make hers n nourlj like It as pos sible, but Is rnthor u composite of many possible model kitchens which Is designed to lllustrato various es sential principles of convenient klich. on arrangement. Tho American housewlfo, for whose special benefit the model has been constructed, must judge from it what appliances und improvemouts in arraugement will best fit her peculiar household needs and thoso of her purso. Ono general idea emphasized by tho Department's San Frauclsco bound kitchon is that the slzo of tho ordinary kltcnon should bo small rather than large if tho room is to bo used only for tho preparation of tho meals. It bhould bo as compact as posslblo to save traveling back and forth. Tho stove, table, aud sink should bo as nenr together as Is con venient, and the distances to suppllos and the dining-room or pantry should Jio short. Ou the floor of the model room the distauces most coiumoulv traveled In preparing aud serving meals aro indicated by sfrnlKht lines. "Tho fewer ornaments the bolter In a housewlfo's workshop" is tho te?t..?t nnotlier lesson of this llttlo esmuu. uorners aro rounded; sur faces aro Dlalu: there urn nu fnu- molding!, as possible to cutch dirt which must bo removed with so much effoit.

However, this refrig erator preaches a sermon of Its own, for tho advantages and disadvantages of each particular lining aro ex plained In labels attached. Each woman who reads may look tor what suits her own refrigerator, and housowlves from the north or from tUO SOUth, from n hlch. drv voelnn La ,0,w,rap!t region way each de cide which feature is most adaptable for her own use and pockotbook.
