And old kitcben in 0,d homes are more often than not Xar from perfect. ' it is sometimes difficult, even in tflis da' t0 conrInce jour Guilder - that you must tare your sink thirty-eix Inches from the floor tni all working level equal. Soft tints ft the walla KTey, tan or hae, and floors easy to clean tni comfortable to stand on, are jjsd most advisable. , Old kitchens were not so com pact as present day ones. Pantries BOt to accessible, sinks and stores Bot so conveniently arranged. Floors not so easily cared . for. Bot though all these conditions prevail in yonr home, do not des pair, for even simple changes of ten work wonders toward modern izing a kitchen. . Paint is one Important conside ration. Walls should be finished with a good washable , paint, to offer a hard, . smooth surf ace to jast and dirt. Floors to be paint ed should bare all cracks carefully filled in, should be well prepared for the paint and given a suffi cient number of coats. It is poor economy to skimp, on paint. After the floor and walls, the seit thing to consider Is the kitch en arrangement Kitchen cabinet, pantry, store, sink and table should all be arranged to give the , jiost service and to conserve steps. The store, . sink and , all . levels which are used- for work should be the same height from the floor. The one exception to this rule is the table . where mixing is done. This Is usually a few inches lower than the rest of the equipment, u it is easier to knead bread, roll pie ctnst, etc Where a kitchen Is unusually large, it Is often possible to utilize a portion of It -as a breakfast nook. This saves space and conntless steps by making it pos sible to serve many meals In the kitchen. "' - Sometimes in planning a break fast nook it is advisable to arrange for additional light. A set of : windows may then be cut Into the wall above the nook. And It Is veil to consider here the advisabi lity of more electric switches. A double wall plug, convenient to the breakfast table, makes it pos sible to use electric table equip ment. And may serve for the . electric Iron, as well. A aulck method of remodeling , a kitchen is to install come of the itandardlzed kitchen cabinets and cupboards which may now be ob tained in any furniture store. They come la convenient sizes and are quickly set up.- " - The question of how far I one should go in furnishing and dec orating a kitchen Is neuall a, matter of Individual taste and of family necessity. In farm kitchens we sometimes see rocking chairs, curtains, braided rugs and other things to give a homelike fair. Other kitchens have s the severe simplicity of laboratories, f which in reality they really i are; f while the majority are a happy medium betweenthe two extremes. x . nmnrDAY pAimn I Next to Christmas, the happiest recoilecUons of a happy childhood are those surrounding the birth days of our youth. Mathers: let your children have their party. There Is no child In the ! whole world who does not long for this treat, and really there la no need that it be reserved only tor the well-to-do alone.',- f -i I; Make it simple as can be, f with only a few sandwiches, a cake and sweets, all of which can be made at home, and done In the spirit of festivity, will make one of those happy days looked back to from our adult years with so much joy. There are suggestions In the re cipes and menus given In our Children's Party Book that will help to make your children's par ties easy to prepare and foil of joy for the little ones. .write our Department how to secure one of these Party books. - 1 1 1 i i; WEEK EXD MEXTTS j ' - Saturday Dinner i - Chicken En Casserole J Parker Honse Rolls ' Butter , Pineapple Ice Cream " -" Sponge Cakes H i- Coffee " ; , - Sunday Breakfast Grape Juice Corn Flakes $ Corned Beef Hash ; Rolled Oats Muffins ': i Coffee .

"I want something left from our Income we are eating up too much of our Income just because I don't seem to know how to manage. ' - "My family don't like meat sub stitutes, but I just cannot afford the expensive steaks and roasts we are having."; To this housewife we would say Bny more of the Inexpensive cuts of " meat Inexpensive but Just as nutritious as the ones-she has been buying, .j . Stews made from either fresh meats or. left overs can be turned into really ap petizing dishes. Tour neighbor hood grocer will always be glad to advise you on these cheaper cuts. And. as this very, subject Is fre quently discussed by food experts In many of our leading women's magazines suggestions tor ways of preparing these , cuts and re ceipts for dishes utilizing left-, over meats are to -be. found as well as in any of our good cook books. . , ;:;-.. r, ; r- SAFEGUARD YOUR u RECIPES I use the same proportions for biscuits that you do,ra said a young housekeeper to an older friend, "but my biscuits' are never so good.

ConnmerclaJ ' - - r:.c- zzy - - - suits. Often a beautiful, delicious looking dish proves disappointing. It has been- measured and mixed and cooked right but it doesn't contain genuinely 'good ingredi ents It falls far below perfec tion.' A finished culinary product can be no better than the things It has In It. . i ' "Keep your shelves well filled with - high quality ftaple foodt and half the worry of cooking will vanish, " said an I nexperienced housewife the other day,: y j;! This woman. buys 'a large qqan- titr of standard ingredients at one time and stores the 'part .which fs : not to be used . right away In a convenient place.! Then, when the flour bin Is empty, or the 'last jar of something .ha been Jused.! she only has to gd to her store room for It. This prevents delay! at hurried times and takes fewer minutes from her busy day for. ordering.;-: n;; .. It .:jl!'ji;.: A generous supply of staple in gredlents and a nnmber of cans of various prepared; meats, Teget-j ables and fruits will prove an In estimable help to the housewife whose time; is . constantly; In de mand for many things. The brand name Is of particular Importance1 when buying in quantity or other wise. .: , , j .WHY DO TXBSTERS TURN RED WHEN BOILED? Many persons, unfamiliar with the natural color of j the . lobster. are under the Impression that the bright red of this shell fish is its ordinary hue. Bnt, those who have seen living' lobsters or ones which have not been; cooked, are familiar with the dull green tint. reminiscent of the salt water In which they live.' J : The marked change In appear ance when the crustacean Is put Into boiling water i is due to j a chemical action induced by the heat. ' The brownish ' green of the shell turns first to a red-brown and then to a bright fiery red an alteration which! is analogous to that which may be noted when the flesh of animals is boiled or otherwise cooked. Jlere, however. the change is Inj the opposite direction. - The Wood-red - .tinge darkens and . finally ; becomes : a dull . lifeless brown J; thus comple tely reversing the operation which takes place in connection with the shell of the lobster.; I I Nature, which protects living things various ways has, provided the lobster with - another defense against its enemies, in addition to the large and formidable claws. The greenish tinjt of its shell blends in with the surrounding water and renders! it practically invisible, while iff red were its natural color, It could easily -be distinguished, and attacking ' It would be a simple matter.
