i -atiiairfT a Joy to every woman who does
her own work.
She urges women to equip their kltch
rns as scientifically aa a laboratory and
a conveniently as the most practical of
workshops. She also asks that the
kitchen be as pretty as Ingenuity can In
vent and circumstances permit.
Three-fourths of all housework Is dona
In the kitchen, therefore It behooves tha
servsntless -housewife to see to it that
her kitchen is everything the most in
genious mind can devise. To do thla does
not require the expenditure of a large
sum of money, but the exerdae of com
mon sense. How to minimise time and
strength by having the kitchen furniture
placed in a convenient relation to the
work, and the kltahen utensils hung
where they are most needed, is the im
portant thing.
The woman who does her own house
work ahould Invest In certain labor
suvlng devices, of which the Kitchen cab
inet is a godd example- This very prac
tical article Is not new, but ita value

the pomollcatlona of modern life. With
the overcrowding of the suburbs, and the

i the- small towns, there Is
greater use than ever before for house-keeper-
to concentrate their efforts on

Mr ronton desk Is to the bust-
""pss man, the kitchen cabinet Is to the
Sorvsntless housekeeper. A large part
of culinary operations can be performed
before It. So valuable la the cabinet con
sidered by women who know ita uses, the
sobriquet of "automatic aervant" has
been bestowed upon it. In a small or
underslaed kitchen it plays an Important
role, since one-half of kitchen labor goes
to the preparing of meals. It occupies a
unall area of not more than WxW Inches,
t with its convenient divisions of space
for dry Ingredients aa well as the neces
sary utensils close at hand, the modest
kitchen cabinet is a Joy and delight to the
housekeeper who is learning to economise
her time. It Is a marveloug stepeaver and
lightener of labor.
The variety of kitchen cabinets onAhe
market Is fairly large, and the housewife

wide range in prices. A cabinet
may be purchased for $15, but it la not
economy to buy one aa -cheap as this.
,There are cabinets which are sold for
11 U. but only those of unlimited means
can afford them. A cabinet of good work
manship with sufficient room for the nec
essary paraphernalia will cost at least 130.
Much a cabinet will contain a sliding
table top of sine a metal aald to resist
indentation better than other material
bread board, flour bin, coffee Jar, set of
six metal-topped glass spice and cereal
Jars, and a measuring cup. Besides
three shelves below. It hae a partition
drawer for cutlery, and bread and cake
rawers with sliding covers. In addition,
ft is a wire shelf in the utensil cup-
boarB sliding bottom In the base, a rack
for tin covers, and a card file for recipes.
To the same model la added corn bin
tiona of several interesting features. One
of them Includes a front door that dropa
n tambour-fashion and a sliding cur-
over the flour bin that may be
hed up out of sight; another has a
sliding curtain across the front which
drops down when a small metal handle
at the top la turned. The cost of these
ci bluets is $31 and $22.60, respectively.
in oraer 10 meet a certain aemana, a
cabinet has been put on the market for
$1$ that la as roomy aa others costing
twice that sum. It has practically the
same conveniences, too; but it is inferior
In msterlal and workmanship. The metal
of the sliding table top Indents easily,
the drawers fit imperfectly, the wood Is
?oarse-gralned and the varnish tbln.
In a colonial house, where all the
oodwork is white, there la a white
aim-lod steel kitchen cabinet that will
imonlze beautifully with the Interior
finleh. The attraction of thla kind of
kitchen furniture is so apparent that It
never fail to make an Instant appeal to
housewives, whether they be domestically
Inclined or not.
It Is pretty and sanltory, but the dif
ferxnee In price over those of oak,
amounting to something like $30, is us
ually sufficient to deter the thrifty and
economical housewife from gratifying her
wishes. For those who feel that they
ran afford It, there are two Interesting
enameled cabinets. The smaller, meas
uring thirty-nine Inches wide by sixty
three Inches high, is Ina; snd the larger,
the snme width, but thirty-five Inches in
height, is $5. These sumptuous rablneta
have the additional attraction of glass
knohs, brass hinges, a glass rolling-pin
and a nlckelold sliding top, besides the
usual Interior equipment.
For the woman In a small city home,
but with comfortable Income, there la
a luxurious kitchenette combination that
could easily take the place of a kitchen
pantry. It Is constructed on the unit
system, and each section Is removable.
Padded noiseless doors, friction ' door
catches, softly sliding working top of opal
glass, a tilting flour bin holding one
quarter of a barrel of flour, are among
the other attractive features. The price
of this luxury Is II If.
Taken all In all. there Is a sufficient
variety of kitchen cabinets on trie mar
ket to meet the demands of every class
of housekeepers. A time-worn -theory
Is that it la poor policy to buy a cheap
article, whatever It may be. Thla rule
holde good In the selection of a kitchen
Cabinet. Avoiding extremes, one can buy
a well constructed, practical article for
from $30 to $36. Such a cabinet looks
well, has the necessary equipment and
will last a long time.
The young housekeeper equipped with
one of these cabinets may feel that she
Is welt started on the road to efficiency.

RARE CHINESE VASE HELD AT $50,000It may seem
a ridiculous price, but when that particular piece of bric-a-brac
is the big1 brother of a seven-inch specimen for
which J. P. Morgan paid $23,000, it must be admitted that
the price is likely to be realised. An idea of the size may
be obtained by comparing it with little Miss Ah Oy Chau.
