Cooler Closets In Kitchens.
San Diego, Cal. A few months
back, at a meeting of severat hun
dred housewives, an aged woman
in the most feeling tones said that
now, when she was "just ready to
die," she had heard of the cooler
closet. She had but just had one
put into her house in the country
after seeing a description of them
in an October magazine. Doing her
greatest step saver and lightener of
greatest step saver and lightner of
work she had ever had.
These cooler tlosets are practical
ly universal in the kitchens of Cal
ifornia bungalows and of a type
superior to that described in the
magazine article. That description
of the cooler closet said that the
draft should be admitted through
the floor either from the basement or
underneath the floor created by the
foundation, with a vent just under
the roof. In some countries ground
under a building will take a scum
df mold, and basements are likely
to contain stale air. The intake, like
the vent, can and should be in the
outside wall, the intake at the bot
tom and the vent at the top of the
sectional cooler closet.
These closets are on the north
side of a house, and as the writer of
the article in question said, "the ab
normally cool interior is entirely the
Vesult of a natural draft." And again
he said: "It is surprising how cool
its interior retmins in the very
..warmest weather." The principle is
exactly the same as that of the fresh
intake of air for the furnace which
circulates in a room, after being
warmed, and escapes by a high ven
tilator. Great Utilizers of Space.
These closets extend from floor to
ceiling, so are great utitizers of
pace, of -which they require but lit
tle. They are said tcTadd next to
iiothing to the expense of the con
struction of a house, and they are a
highly worthy kitchen feature to be
loved by fresh air enthusiasts. Fresh
air is as good for foods, which all
respire like human beings, as for
people, and better far for people be
cause ventilated, as it were. These
closets are cool enough to preserve
fcny food, except on the warmest
days, and are all right for the less
perishable foods at all times.
These coolers are built in like the
rest of the closets of what are called
buffet or cabinet kitchens, the most
modern kitchens, in which there are
so many closets and drawers that
no pantry is necessary, and with the
cooler closets no cellar in the coun
try homes is needed.
The 6penings of the cooler closets
are surrounded with casing like the
windows, and screened over. If you
watch for them as you ride through
a city like San Diego you will see
these openings, generally as small
as ihe smaller panes of glass, in the
sides even of four-story apartments.
Water is precious, and ice more so,
in a region like this, yet not only
here but in other countries of simi
lar snowless seasons, people have
learned how to keep butter beauti
fully firm, or even as hard as a rock;
cooked food without molding, as it
will rather quickly in the ordinary
ice box; milk for several days, and
, fruits and vegetables in prime con
dition merely by means of air cool
ers. In New Orleans ,they have
great wire closets hung in the shade,
which they raise and lower by pul
leys. I have seen similar devices
in various parts of Europe.
In a California Bungalow.
The house where I am visiting has
a cabinet or buffet kitchen which is
9x10 feet, or almost square. The
sink is exactly in the middle of the
north wall and under the three part
window. The space under it is open,
but on either side there is a coun
ter with drawers immediately under
and closets under those. In the right
hand corner is a cooler closet about
16x18 inches on the outside, extend
ing to the ceiling and divided into
three sections. It extends out from
the north wall to the casing of the
door which opens into the dining
room. By the way, the three part
window is an advantage, because the
central part protects from drafts
while the sides, open, cool the
kitchen.
To the left of the sink and the
closet with counter top is the door
into the breakfast room. In the cor
ner between the door and the north
wall of the breakfast room is an
other, this time a three-cornered,
cooler closet. Beyond that and set
into the wall are closets and draw
ers, the upper closet part with glass
doors making a china closet.
closets extends out from the
This
wall
only three inches, the rest being
sunk into the wall.
Many of our builders make the
mistake of constructing deep clos
ets which are inconvenient, particu
larly when shelved, because often
several rows of things at the front
must be moved or reached over to
get what is in the back. They do
things better in these California
bungalows. ,
Plenty of Storage Space.
The stove in this cabinet kitchen
is tall and narrow and against the
west- wall between two doors, that
to the breakfast room and that to a
back hall and laundry, in the latter
of which is a sectioned closet reach
ing to the ceiling, furnishing splen
did storage space for ironing board
and other equipment. Opposite the
stove isa table and stools which
will shove under it, making up the
rest of the kitchen furniture.
