Selection of Table mi
Paatrr Pteeae.
One of the first things to provide forr '
both in the kitchen and pantry, and in
fact everywhere else in the house, is
place for everything and everything
should be kept in its proper place; ,
there should be no little corners or
shelves where broken, cracked or
chipped glass, ct:na or other debris 1
could be stuffed .ay. The next es-
sential is that a list should be kept of
every possession. This list should be
gone over twice a year, especially that
portion of it which pertains to the .
china and glass, and when necessary
added to at such times; an appreciable
quantity need, however, never be add
ed should each article be replaced as -soon
as it is broken.

should one or more pieces become
broken or chipped nothing detracts
more from the appearance of a table .

is next to impossible and many a hand

because the vegetable dishes or other
important parts of the service are.

tumblers for everyday use Is generally
ample to lear out at one time with

There is no reason why with even the
