Cutting Up" Methods
or Kitchen Good Sense
.i; - Vy , r.r.
By CARLOTTAOM&ftjRa 1
Are you "all cut up" about your
cutlery? You should be, if you
didn't select' it carefully, for it Is
said that a cook can be judged by
her knives. Moreover.? it-is nrob-
labia. that the knife -is' the most-
used of all kitchen implements. So
take care, when you buy your next
supply, that you get cutlery that
will cut!
Now, whether your objective is
the knife for general "kitchen cut?
ting up" or. the fanciest knife for
special purposes, you make a mis
take if .you; buy a;cheap 'product.
For the knife that is not of best
quality, .. the dne . withe. ''Wobbly
handle and the blunted edge, is &
If you're looking for durabil
ity; then, buy a hand-forged knife
in which the steel of the blade
goes clear back to the end of the
handle. The steel should lie flat,
and should be as wide as the han
dle stops, as it is in the center of
the blade. If it goes off to a
point, naturally the knife will be
weakened. At the end of the; han
dle, the steel should be held by
steel, copper or brass rivets.
Avoid, above all, that cheapest
sort of knife the one in which
the steel part, coming to a narrow
point as it ends at the handle is
pushed in, and fastened by adhes
ion. This is the knife that is sure
to fly to pices just when you least
expect -it and when you need it
"most. ' '
Avoid handles of rubber, for
they do 'nearly everything they
shouldn't they shrink, swell
and burn easily. Handles of bone,
pearl and ivory seem all right un
til you was"h (tiem but they are
likely to ' become either blackened
or loosened, or both, when you
put them in water.
Beech and birch wpoA, iandls,
you will find, wear well, and are
excellent choices.
Keeping the "Cut" In Cutlery
Now, suppose you buy a good,
firm-handled knife, .with a blade
s!iarp and turell-utting. And sup
pose you slam -bang it, three times
a flay, into a" drawer,, perhaps
thrusting it against your nutmeg
grater.- Then do not blame your
hardware man if the knife, though
new, soon has a dull edge.
. t,You should have a, separate
compartment, eitner 01 wooa or
leather, for ; each knife you pos
sess, the harp blade of which you
value; or, at the very, least you
should have a drawer set aside es
pecially for your kitchen knives
and you should slip, or lay them,
not throw them Into It..
Frequent sharpening, too, is
good for knives. And it you; cin't
quite manage a plain sharpening
stone, there's many a new knife
sharpener on the market you'll

Look before you leap into liy
ing room'fnrnituref-?;-"" -
Ventures in - furniture buying
for this most important room of
the house rif it is a "living" rodm
in more than name is in a sense
a great deal like ventures info
matrimony: what you do in haste,
ybu are likely to repent at leisure.
So,, unless you have' unlimited
time and money at your disposal;
avoid buying "sets," -It you want
to' keep your sitting- room from
havipg a sort of hasty, wholesale;
reMdy-made look. ' Moreover, you
will get much more enjoyment
from the job of furnishing -the
room if you do your buying from
time to time, thoughtfully select
Ing each piece and keeping well in
nilnd the finished effect you want
to achieve.
Of course, you should not buy
odds and ends of furniture of ev
ery known material and period.
You should indeed buy pieces that
harmonize not only with the room
for which they are intended, but
with each other, if you are to
avoid a disagreeably heterogen
eous effect.
So in doing this time-to-time
furniture buying, consider first of
all the material Jn relation to the
woodwork of your sitting roomrfF
match each piece you buy to that
and incongruity of materials can
not result.
You can buy furniture of oak,
even if the room is not actually
finished in oak, but such furniture
will "fit" best If the room Is fin
ished in some color at least re
.eemblAog, oak. like chestnut cy
press or ash. It's easy to buy just
the sort of oak furniture which
will harmonize best with any of
this woodwork the inclusiveness
of the modern market sees to that.
Or suppose you, have painted
woodwork. In that case, you will
not-want oak furniture, especially
If the woodwork' Is white or ivory.
or any Hght tone. Buy, instead,
mahogany or willow furniture, or
some sort of harmonizing painted
furniture.
Willow and -painted furniture.
in fact, are excellent choices for
the woman who wants to get away
irom the "set" idea in living room
furnishings. Such furniture-! facili
tales time-to-time buying, for the
two kinds "mix" well, and their
joint use willl provide all the va
rlety, available both In color and
form, of "which one living room
should be guilty. ,
You must be careful, however.
