Housework ran an 1 frequently does degenerate Into a JoIs round of tiresome duttea In Which tit'.inva of honest toll la forgotten. Tha A. fftrlencjr expert ta trying to make houae 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 his recently been emphaslied. owing to the pomollcatlona of modern life. With the overcrowding of the suburbs, and the g of aoclal and club duties of i the- small towns, there Is greater use than ever before for house-keeper- to concentrate their efforts on InvjfTylng housework 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 st use discrimination.' In seleetlng-ll.e that Will meet her own -needs. 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. Mothers' Magastne. 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. n ist use clolnet t There Is ;oi in I lain Vushi it t Fish and Lenten Dishes Many people would be In better health were they to have a more varied diet with less meat Included therein.
