AN EASY-TO-WORK KITCHEN

Intelligent shelving can be xnado to take the place of the desirable bat expensive kitchen cabinet. If this can be grouped about tho window, so much the better; but if the sink already occupies that position, then the next lightest place should be selected. Flap tables can be bought quite cheaply, and one should be fixed in front of tho window. Then permanent 'shelves could be put up on each side of the window within easy reach of the worker al> the table. Two seta c-f three would be sufficient to take the dry eoods containers, and the other jars and tins holding. materials required for cooking, on tho one side, and cooking utensils on the other. When not iii use the contents of the shelves are hidden by curtains of gingham to match the window curtain. The shelf curtains must be pat np on easy running window fitments, so that when the shelves are being used the mirtains can be pushed completely out of the way. The gas cooker should, bo placed as nea\* to the cooking table as is convenient, for this obviously saves steps, particularly when one has to keep an eye on a dish already cooking while something else is being prepared. If yon have room to fix up yet another small drop table near the cooker, so much the better. This one should be covered with zinc or some ether similar protective material, so that saucepans, baking tins, etc., may be placed there from the cooker without harm, ana the mess easily wiped up afterwards. Zinc is very easily kept clean Y/ifch hot wal«r and salt.
