Care of House
The Kitchen
Ech room in.the house has its
distinct and separate f auction ih
the domestic economy. - Take for
example the kitchen,:
important room in the hoiise,
the woman's workshop. It is the
place where the food is prepared
and cooked and where the dishes
are washed. . :;V"-V:'-C x?.;:;
What then are the requisites
ior this workshop ? Since . the
housekeeper spends a large part
of each day in her workshop,. it,
iii st of all, should be well lighted
and ventilated. It should be
comfortably warm ru winter "and
cool in summer. The floor, Walls
and ceiling should be of such
iTiaterial as may be easily cleaned
The equipment for the work that
is to be done should be ample, of
good quality, intelligently select
ed, and above all so ; arranged
that the various tasks f Hhe
kitchen may be quickly perform
ed and with the least expenditure
of energy.
