An Englishwoman writes from New York to an: English exchange that s-h« has found the ideal flat. She has rented, the little dwelling for a few months furnished, at a? trifle over wbat it costs the woman who owns it, and finds the quarters so cosy, so well arranged, and so nicely equipped . that ■ she. will be very sorry to leave them. Although consisting of throe rooms only, the flat has a fair-sized bath-room, tiled in white, having a marble bath and glass fittings. Floors are all parquet, so% there are no carpets needed—nothing beyond a few nice rugs. The building is central heated, although the flats are low-priced, but at present she is more interested-in the greeai outside Venetian blinds than in! the storage of hard coal, What she refers to as a real joy is the kitchenette, appointed for cooking and washing up. It is altogether liovel to her. -The place is n mere strip, and it more like a housemaid's pantry than a kitchen. The porcelain sink is large, and hot water abundant. A" plate-rack over the sink, and: wide shelves at a convenient height commend themselves .greatly. A complete set of aluminium cooking utensils fills 0110 of the shelves, and on a stand fitted into a small corner is the electric appliance f&r the cooking-stove, 'chafing dish, the iron, and a few smaller articles used for cooking, which save electricity when they take'the place of the laa-ger stove. Breakfast or supper on the verandah that runs round the block of flats is a real joy to her. The portion of the verandah adjacent to her temporary dwelling, has been prettily decorated .with plants in pots., tables, and chairs with cushions. She can easily transport the smaller electric apparatus, such as the toaster, tho chafing dish, coffee-pot, and a vessel for boiling milk to the verandah Here she prepares her'meal in the open air, andl without making, the slightest exertion or experiencing the heat of a cooking-stoye, she enjoys. an al fresco n:eal.
