It seems strange that it should very often be the least attractive room from every point of view in the house. We find it tucked off in some dark corner with little or no ventilation, its wall and floor cov ering dark uud dingy and Its equip ment so meager It would be Impossible to find any pleasure in working with them. The kitchen is the workroom of the home. Its arrangement, pleasant or otherwise, very often give the key note of conditions in the home. My Idea of a real kitchen Is this: It should be as bright and cheery as any room in the house. I would much pre fer a gloomy parlor than n dark, un pleasant kitchen. If possible 1 should have a north and cast exposure. This would insure sunlight In the morning and a cool breeze on hot summer after noons. Then 1 should be careful to have a good view from the kitchen window, something beautiful to look out upon, like a stately tree, a bit of green lawn or a trim vegetable garden. The outlook from kitchens In towns and cities is too often brick walla of adjoining buildings, untidy backyards or high board fences. From kitchens In the country we often look out upon an unsightly woodpile or barnyard filled with a clutter of old farm imple ments. With such daily views it la no wonder If the women, who must spend three-fourths of their time in the kitchen, have very little love for house work. Tbere should be at least two win dows and. If Ksslble. un outside door opposite one window in order to have good ventilation at all times. The kitchen should not be unnecessarily, large, but Its size will depend on the number of persons In, the family and the amount of work that Is to be done ELAN OF MODEL KITCHEN Ji btt of silver for one's toilet table, bottle of a 06 extract or cologne. 1 r lUTainf 3 In 1l Too much space between the different pieces of furniture necessi tates too many unnecessary 6teps. A suitable moderate sized kitchen is about 12 by 14 feet. The kitchen should be convenient to the dining room, either opening direct ly into It or, stilt better, having the pantry between the rooms. In the lat ter case there should be a cupboard with sliding doors opening into both kitchen and pantry for convenience lu setting the table and removing dishes to the kitchen. The cut gives a plan of a convenient kitchen, show ing position of windows and doors, also the larger pieces of furniture. In this plan uoto the position of the refrigerator, which can be reached from tho outside bo that ice may be put Into It without coming into tho kitchen. There la also a window In the cool room to which a window cup board can be attached. This room with Its cupboard will tako the place of the refrigerator In winter and may be used as a baking room in hot weather. Tho sink, with draining board, la lo cated on the side next the pantry. Sliding doors are arranged at tbo back so that dishes washed in tbo sink may be placed on the pantry shelves with out going Into the pantry Itself. An other convenient feature In the ar rangement of this kitchen is the posi tion of windows between range and work table, giving good light and' ven tilation. If possible avoid having a door leading upstairs opening in the kitchen, because in such cases It is al most Impossible to keep the odors of cooking from penetrating to the up stairs rooms. Wall and Floor Covering. Tho kitchen to be sanitary In every particular should be finished in some way that will permit of frequent wash ing. The best wall covering Is the sim plest and roost easily cared for mate rial that can be purchased. Tbere is nothing better for this purpose than sunitas, a material similar to oilcloth. The first cost Is a little more than w ... , . . . , paint or tinting, but when carefully "Write and paying for a want ad. , ped ,t ,3 mre ,Mtn& 8anlta8 mt matters of a few minutes nnd n iir nn wiMi nnt in hnri-nntDi stri Jaw fMafrB. isn't tnero something around the room.

If a tablespponful of mo lasses is added to each quart of paste it will stick more tirraiy. The painted wall Is suitable for kitchen and pantry provided a fiat ' finish to given and u color used In pref erence to white, A glossy surfucc, par- eyes and becomes very iiiuluitutious. J Wall paper Is not u desirable covering , I for a kitchen wall because It absorbs j I mulsture aud odors and cnunut bo cleaned satisfactorily, i For the lltnir the best covering Is In ; laid linoleum. This to my mind Is j better tluui the polished tloor, which Is , ' always slippery and Is hard on the ; feet. Then there Is the painted tloor. j which has both advantages and dis advantages, chief aiming the latter be- j ! lug not very durable qualities. The kitchen tloor should not be covered I with carpet, because thnt Is tusanl- ; tnry, uelther should It be devoid of any covering and so require scrubbing. This is one of the Items of work which should le eliminated from the house-1 keeper's schedule. The white sanded ! floors, tables, etc.. are attractive to the eye and a Joy to n certain type of j housekeeper, but they represont too much euergy and labor to be Included In modern methods. Floors should be covered with some material easily cleaned, und tables, sinks, shelves, etc., t should be painted or covered with zinc, tile or oilcloth. The zinc table and the tile sink are a lasting pleasure and lessen work to such an extent that they soon more than pay for the Initial cost. Kitchen Furniture. This should be simple, durable aud adequate for the needs of tho house keeper. The kind and number of pieces will largely depend on the char- acter of the home. But in every kltch- en there should be a good ranee, at least one work table and a convenient ' sink supplied with running water and modern plumbing. These three articles should be near neighbors because they are so frequently used at the same time. Whatever the fuel coal, wood, gas j or gasoline it should be burned In a good range, one that Is perfect In all Its parts and equipped with a good , baking oven. No part of the housefur- nlshlng Is more Important than the 1 kitchen stove and no piece of farm ma chinery, however necessary, should be bought by sacrificing the new stove. Since the preparation of food for the ' table Is an absolute necessity In every home, the stove, whatever Its style. should be as good as any part of the equipment of the entire establishment. The work table should be high enough that the worker need not stand ' In an ucoomforMble pexkluH tWiftV Ironing or baking. Kitchen tables are made thirty inches high, which Is not enough for a woman five feet six Inch-, es In height, and to bend over It. as , she always must, results In an unnec- I essary weariness or backache. Either the low table should be set upon sup ports or a higher one should be order ed. The high stool is a simple piece i of furniture which should be in every kitchen. It can be sunned under the work table wllcn not In use and Is a ' convenient scat while preparing vege tables. Ironing and doing the number- less other tasks which can lie per-1 formed sitting Just as well as stand-1 ing. A clock Is necessary In the kitchen. ' also a pair of strong scissors, a pin- ' cushion with pins and some coarse nee- i dies and thread, both white and black, j These are constantly needed, and It makes unnecessary steps to be obliged ! to go to the living room for them. It . Is hardly possible to have too many drawers, shelves and cupboards, and yet these ought not to be used to en-' courage dlsorderllness. Tbere Is some-' times a temptation to hideaway things i In cupboards or drawers that would better be destroyed at once tbap have them add to the task of straightening up later on. The modern kitchen may have other useful pieces of furniture In addition to the-above. If there Is money enough to provide them. Among these may be mentioned a water or electric motor or even a small one horsepower gaso line engine, any one of which will run the washing machine mangle, churn, cream separator and can be attached to the sewing machine. This little contrivance is not so expensive that. It need be excluded from even moderate homes, considering the amount of work It will accomplish and tho strength It will save. When a woman Is obliged to do all ber housework it ought certainly to be counted as one of , the necessities. The kitchen cabinet with separate compartments for all i kinds of groceries and supplies la 1 sometimes preferred to the pantry. It la entirely a matter of personal prcf- erence wnicn should be chosen, ror both are most convenient. Itcason able care must, however, be taken not to leave groceries lying about loosely In the cabinet, for theso will attract Insects as well as mice, nut tho housekeeper endowed with even the j most ordinary degreo of order may easily avoid such a misfortune. ' xne eicctnc or gasouno iron is a handy little appliance for making kitchen work lighter and Is Inexpen sive when usefulness and labor sav ing qualities are balanced with dol lars and cents. In the country, of course, the gasoline Iron Is generally the only one possible, but these bavo uow been brought to a degree of per fection thut makes them satisfactory. The Use of the Kitchen. Ono last Important point to remem ber in furnishing a kitchen is that Its real purpose Is u workroom, not a liv ing or dining room. A workroom should have Its tools conveniently ar ranged within easy reach of the work man. All utensils and evidences of kitchen work should not bo kept In other parts of the house or stowed away In obscure places In order that tho room may be presentable whan strangers come. The tnodera kKtncn Is not intended to fill tho place of a reception room, and only In exception- al cases should It bo used as a dining room, DIAMOND SETTERS .WATCH MAKERS ENGRAVERS JEWELERS COMPLETE LINES OF EXCEPTIONALLY FINE WATCHES, DIAMONDS, ETC Wo nro prepared to show very fine assortments of almost; evorvtliiittf a jeweler is supposed to carry.
