Kitchens that are conveniently ar ranged, well lighted, and adequately equipped add much to the comfort and efficiency of the hoinemuker. To create a convenient kitchen It is desirable first to consider how the kitchen equipment and arrangement affect the homemaker’s time, health, and disposition, and the well being of the whole family. A large outlay of money Is not required for the first needs of kitchen planning, but an open mind about kitchen tasks Is needed, for the routine always used In the past may be the best one pos sible. An open mind helps to determine the most satisfactory way to do each kitchen Job, and to arrange work centers and equipment to make this way possible. Pieces of furniture that are used together should be near each other; the table on which dishes are placed after they are washed should be either permanently situat ed next to the sink or movable on rubber wheels. Equipment and utensils should be chosen which will do the kitchen tasks In the easiest way nnd give ths best results for the least money. For example, it Is more economical to buy a good egg beater than continu ally to replace a cheap one. An attractive color scheme, good window space, sheer curtains that do not shut out the light, and an arti ficial light well placed so that ths worker's shadow does not fall on her work, likewise promote both comfort and efficiency.
